Saturday, September 10, 2022 We ran out of coffee this morning, so we walked to the campground store (which didn’t open until 9) to get a cup of their free morning coffee. While there, we also bought some more coffee grounds and pancake mix. So, back in our motorhome, we

Friday, September 9, 2022 We took our time packing and leaving this morning, savoring the last moments at our woodsy private river site. Finding our way to the main highway was confusing as the 11-foot tunnel was a GPS black hole that we fought not to get sucked through. Once

Thursday, September 8, 2022 Today the rain has departed although the clouds remain. After breakfast, we drove back into Harpers Ferry to take in some attractions that we missed yesterday. After parking at the train station and displaying my NPS Senior Pass in the windshield again, we walked to the

Wednesday, September 7, 2022 The cloudy rainy weather continued through the night and all of today. After breakfast, we drove to the Harpers Ferry National Historic Park Visitor Center. A friendly and informative hostess loaded us up with brochures and maps while suggesting lots of activities to keep us busy

Tuesday, September 6, 2020 Rain fell pattering on our motorhome roof most of last night. As we loitered over breakfast and watched the morning news, the showers temporarily subsided allowing us to unhook the RV. We topped off the propane tank at the campground station and hitched up the car

Monday, September 5, 2022 This Labor Day morning we watched as almost all of our fellow campers packed up and exited the campground. By checkout time (11:30 am) there were only three RVs left in our section which had been full when I got out of bed. Jane & I

Sunday, September 4, 2022 This morning, following a leisurely breakfast, we headed to the southern end of the Conewago Recreation Trail. This is a short five-mile long trail that connects to the longer 18-mile Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail. Interestingly both trails are part of the September 11 National Memorial Trail that

Saturday, September 3, 2022 This morning, just as Jane was getting up, Nancy and John dropped by our motorhome to say goodbye and pick up some cheese they had stored in our refrigerator. Jane made a delicious breakfast from leftovers, cheese and spinach scrambled eggs with fried haddock. We then

Friday, September 2, 2022 I felt reenergized from yesterday’s biking upon arising this morning. Anticipating that Jane would sleep late, I set off for a walk. Without a plan, I crossed the creek behind our RV site and was soon walking through a swampy area blazing through waist-high dewey plants.

Thursday, September 1, 2022 We slept late this morning enjoying the bed’s cozy warmth against the chilled morning air. After arising and eating a hearty breakfast, we packed up the toad and left for a bike ride.  Our route to the trail took us through the park along Little Pine

Wednesday, August 31, 2022 Yesterday’s rain ushered in a cold air mass so we slept our last evening at Sned-Acres Family Campground with the windows open, no AC. The cool morning air felt delightful and matched our expectations unlike the usual relentless heat we had been experiencing. When we first

Tuesday, August 30, 2022 Today we went to Buffalo to visit Jane’s and Nancy’s Aunt Phyllis. Jane drove us from our campground to the Riesling Cabin arriving around 10 am. We loaded into Nancy’s car and John drove the two-hour trip to Buffalo stopping at a Mennonite grocery store to

Monday, August 29, 2022 Jane woke up late this morning (about 9:30) to the dinging of incoming text messages. Nacny was inviting us over to their Riesling Cabin at Buttonwood Grove Winery to spend some time with Cathy and Pat before they had to leave for their jobs in Buffalo.

Sunday, August 28, 2022 After breakfast, we drove less than two miles to the Van Riper Conservation Area and parked in the trailhead parking lot. After a gently-descending hike through hardwood forests for about 0.5 mile, we arrived at the shoreline of Lake Cayuga. We found a bench on a
