Well, we're off again. After some regroup time in Pa., the next stage of our adventure is starting. It got pretty intense there for a bit. Besides having to liquidate our former rig and a car, we had to go thru our storage unit and do some SERIOUS paring down. ( It got pretty ugly with me on the whip and Joannie whimpering like a sick puppy with tears in her eyes..) It ended ok and we're now fine once more.
Then, with our newly acquired truck in Dallas, the fiver in Knoxville, and the hitch in Lancaster, there was much coordinating going on to bring all loose ends together. It required some bonzai driving trips and other efforts, but we "got 'er done".
The horse ( GMC diesel Sierra ) pulls strong & quiet, and the coach ( Challenger 5th wheel ) is all we'd hoped and then some. Coming out of the travel trailer into the fiver was akin to leaving a small studio for a 1br apartment that also has a basement! It's great for the lifestye we've chosen to pursue, and look forward to many years' use.
We're now set up at Greenbrier State Park, near Hagerstown, Md. Our site is wooded and the park is beautiful. The surrounding area is peacefully scenic, with many interesting things & places to explore, including many historic sites with Civil War connections.
We mainly put in our work camp hours over the weekend and have all week to ourselves. Duties include administering social programs like ice cream socials, kiddie bingo, and movies. Also, we clean fire rings and sites after campers leave, and greet them as they arrive. It's easy going stuff with lots of rewards.
We're feeling incredibly lucky and blessed to be able to do all this. We'll elaborate more on the whole experience next time around. Ya'll take care now!
