Off to Shennandoah National Park

We departed a day early Oct 11^th . . . drove through NH to MA to CT to NY to Montage, NJ.  Cedar Ridge Camp Ground – place looked like a deserted graveyard for old trailers but it was getting dark and a storm was approaching.  Soon after pulling in, the rain and lighting started.  Turned out we had no hookups night #1  so we drank, played farkle (3-2 Sue) and called it a night with lightning cracking all around us.



Oct 12^th – Headed out of NJ to PA to MD to WV to Front Royal ,VA and found scary campground #2 near the beginning of skyline drive.  Aside from trees falling in the middle of the night, Gooney River Camp Ground was OK.  Saw an eagle near by and a couple of huge blue herring/pelican looking birds in the morning.

Oct 13^th  - Today we hauled the trailer along Skyline Parkway in VA.  Long steep hills with beautiful views.  We saw deer and lots of hawks along the way.  Lots of American Recover Act signs but few with people working.  We got 6mpg this part of the trip – next time leave the trailer at the campsite.

We're staying put just outside the Shenandoah National Park for a week to do some local sight seeing.
