We are in Pennsylvania...

Quite a few stops have been made since my last post.  Let me try to catch up....
6 weeks ago I attempted to publish a lengthy post and lost it while trying to publish.  ​Since then we have been pretty busy.

As of 12 May we are at Cook Forest SP in Cooksburg, PA.

We've been at this campsite for 18 days (wow), a long time for us.  It's still a little early in the season for campers here so we are enjoying a very quiet stay.  

We did get a chance to go golfing.  We thought we were in good enough shape to walk the 18 holes, however.......we opted for a cart on the back 9 holes.  The picture below shows a visual aid to help see the pin from the fairway below.  Mountain golfing is beautiful but exhausting!

A one night stop at a Cracker Barrel in La Vale, Maryland.

On the way to the Cracker Barrel we stopped along side the road for this photo op.

Here we enjoyed a relaxing stay at a Boondockers Welcome host in Berkeley Springs, WV.

It's nice to have a little help from my friends :)

This goose really thinks he's human...he just walks up to you for a pat on the head and mumbles in goose speak.

​Here is a Harvest Host that we enjoyed in Glen Allen, VA.

The huge net seen at the right side of the picture below was to catch errant golf balls from the range next door... we hit a few balls that night after a wine sampling :)

​Previous to the winery we were at another Boondockers Welcome location in Advance, NC.

We landed in this general, central, location to visit dear friends Betty, Donna and Sally.  We've know each other for many years and Attended many Church services and functions at All Saints Lutheran Church back in Mt Pleasant SC.

At 95, Betty is a remarkably sharp, intelligent person.  She and Wendy's mom used to talk sports all the time and Betty helped Mom through her most difficult times.  Our short time together at her son and daughter in law's home gave us time to catch up, a little, with the years past.

Donna has a walk-in closet in her home that could easily fit our trailer :)

I wish we would have taken a selfie with Sally after we enjoyed a lunch together.  Reckon we'll have to go back for that one day :)

An overnight stop at a Bass Pro Shop in Bristol, TN.  Of course I had to scrub off the bugs on our rig!

This is Old Stone SP in Manchester, TN.  A two night stay since we had to retrieve UPS packages in Murfreesboro.

This was in a Cracker Barrel rear parking lot in Murfreesboro, TN, awaiting another ceramic coating for out truck and trailer by CGI.  We couldn't find a suitable level spot out front.  Not the best location...we had  a few people walk between the trailer and fence.  But all was well :)

Cracker Barrel in Arkadelphia, AR.  In between we spent 4 nights at Tunica, MS.

Here we are at Grapeland, TX, a destination for us each year.  We were here for a week and a half and were able to watch the solar eclipse at the end of our stay :)  I'm just posting some random pics throughout the week.  This gathering was centered around camaraderie and music and was a ton of fun :)

BINGO!!!  (not)

Brushy Creek COE Park in Jefferson, TX, for two nights.

We were able to visit Tess and Harold's home in Wetumka, OK.  We sure had to keep our eye on the weather this time of year.  A sunset, below, over their garage...beautiful!

Harold and Tess's prayer garden :)

Tess and Wendy are always working on puzzles when we visit :)

An hummingbird moth graces us with a visit :)

We came back to Brush Creek Park as we made an appointment to have hail damage repaired on our truck's hood from last week and a few hail dents from a couple years ago.  They did a perfect job :)

This is number 100........ lol.  Really, I was halfway to number 1 and never made it :(

We stopped here on a whim as many Rt 66 sites were closed or abandoned.

It turns out this one was opened.  Above the door I saw the homemade SC license plate.  We tracked down the owner who was out back mowing.

Meet George :)  Long story short, we both lived on James Island , SC at the same time a few miles apart.  We didn't know each other and went to different high schools.  But this is another "small world" story!

Boondockers Welcome in Springfield, MO.

We visited the Bass Pro Shop headquarters...it was HUGE!

This guy is actually real....yikes!

This one's for Connie and Tom :)
