Ending a very enjoyable visit with Larry and Jane H., Martha and I drove the CRV to the Richmond International Airport.
Martha flew home for a few days to take care of medical appointments and some chores. She'll be rejoining me on the night of June 01 here in Pennsylvania.
I drove on back to FOB Lee&Lyn and spent the night after prepping the RV for departure in the morning. I was fed dinner and we watched TV.
Wednesday, May 27
I left the FOB around 0715 and by 10 AM had dumped tanks at the Artillery Ridge RV Campground near the Gettysburg Battlefield Park.
I parked the RV with CRV in tow and checked out the visitor center and museum.
The museum was a bit disappointing, colored negatively by lots of middle grade age kids running amuck within the museum. It was also raining most of the way to Gettysburg so touring the battlefield was not in the cards.
The museum is managed by a private foundation, not the Park Service. It cost me $14.75 for just the museum, and truth be told, not worth it.
I left and of course soon after the sun came out. Oh well.
I continued for the 2 hours it would take me to get to the Rothrock State Forest campsite that I had reserved last week. It's dry camping with a picnic table and a site for a tent for $10 a night.
Had a bit of a moment, when positioning the RV for a level spot when I got stuck in mud on the wet grass area that apparently had been saturated over the last few days with rain.
Luckily I managed to get out back on to the gravel path but I did leave some ruts in the grass, hopefully the rangers won't fuss about it.
I'll be here, solo dispersed camping until Sunday. Plans are to meet with Steve of Scooterinthesticks for some riding and some visiting.
