On The Road Again Resenär
Back in the USA
12 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
After arriving at Dulles airport we took an Uber taxi to the storage company to see our Coach for the first time in over 2 months. She still looked great, but needed to run the generator to charge the batteries to start the engine. Temp in high 80's and we're not used to that. Stayed overnight in the coach in the storage place, shattered after a long day.Läs mer

Front Royal, VA
13 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Up early & on the road again, everything seems to be working on the coach, only thing we found were a few sparrows nests in the awnings. Heading up I66 into the Shenandoah Valley to Skyline Ranch Resort for a few days via Walmart in Front Royal for supplies. Another scorcher with temp in 90s, even the locals say its hot !! Thunder, lightening & torrential rain late evening, but an hour later the ground is dry. Islay View in between 2 fifth wheels.Läs mer

Skyline Ranch Resort
15 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
This is a great place to chill, so decided to stay a few days. The temps are in the 90s, glad we have air conditioning. We've had a busy couple of days reorganising the compartments outside so we can fit in our Brompton foldup bikes we brought from the UK. Also unpacked cases and moved things around inside and we still have empty cupboards for more stuff. We're taking daily walks round the campground checking out the RVs. Saw fireflies & bats last night as it was getting dark, which was cool.Läs mer

Cleaning Day
17 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Stew's doing the outside & I'm doing inside. I've got the best deal as its mid 80'sF and sunny, but cool inside with the aircon on. Glad the icemaker is working well Stew's needing an endless supply of cold drinks.
Hope to go to the pool today, they closed it yesterday just as we got there as there was a storm on the way. Thunder & lightening, bit not much rain.Läs mer

Walmart Shippensburg - off I81
18 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Moved north today through 26 miles of West Virginia, 12 miles of Maryland and now in Pennsylvania at our second home, Walmart. They get a good deal out of us staying overnight in their parking lot as we've just spent more than a few bucks in the store !! Of course we get a good deal too, free camping !!
Gone back in time, we're in Amish country, a family has just arrived in a pony and trap & parked in a stable on the edge of the parking lot. In the grassy area on the other side of the coach we've got wildlife, rabbits, sparrows and what we think are marmots.Läs mer

Swatara SP - Appalachian Trail
22 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Still at Twin Grove RV Park, got the Bromptons out and went for a ride on the Swatara Rail Trail. Crossed the creek on the Appalachian trail bridge. Great trail through the trees, so we were in the shade most of the time, good job as temp was nearly 90F, even the Bromptons needed a rest. Stopped at the store for an icecream back at the RV park. Once the bikes were back in the compartment under coach we went down to the pool to cool off. Leaving tomorrow as park is fully booked. Next stop, somewhere north of here !!!Läs mer

Walmart Again
23 juli 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Drove north up I81 to Dickson City. Overnight stop at Walmart, with dinner at the Red Robin burger joint just down the hill from our parking spot. No side walks or crossings, everyone here drives everywhere, walked down the grass verge & dodged the traffic at the lights. Madlove special burger & bottomless fries were superb, as was the Samuel Adams Summer Ale & Boston Lager.Läs mer

Charles JohnstoneIf you are planning to go to Saratoga Springs you must go to Old Saratoga Brewing... They have a tap/tasting room that does not sell beer. It's free! But they do suggest a donation... https://www.oldesaratogabrew.com

Caught the shuttle bus to Turning Stone casino, amazed at the number of people playing the slots & tables. No gambling for us, only here to eat BBQ at the Tin Rooster, great food, country music playing & line dancing waiting staff. Great views from the 21st floor of the Tower.Läs mer
