Holly Point Campground in the Shinleaf Recreation Area on Falls Lake.  Last day of camping is October 31st!  Getting colder up here and we need to start heading south.  Nice place with good spacing between the sites and a beach area.  Since it was late in the year and there Read more

Pulled into Hyco Lake around 3:00pm from Excel Truck Group – without any dashboard lights coming on – yay!  We were staying at our friends’, Laurie Versaggi Calfee and John Calfee’s, lake house.

On the drive down to Gettysburg, we stopped at Hersey’s Chocolate World to get some Halloween candy – right!  It’s hard to put into words how cool this place is.  Huge chocolate and displays: I kinda got the impression that this place could be called Chocolate Disney World.  If you Read more

After leaving the Newmar International Rally, we headed to a Harvest Host called Valley Country Club in Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania.  Our first golf course stay.  Really nice – I think we will try another one in the future. The host, Clark, told us how to get into the Country Club through Read more
