The next day was our turn. We had received directions last October from a truck driver friend about how to get from Gettysburg to Lake Raystown Resort. He said the three ways our GPS was showing us was not suitable for the motorhome. He gave us the route he uses driving his semi. After our experience the day before we felt using the day to gather info would be well spent.
We headed east to Harrisburg and then up and around the base of a mountain headed west and then south on the other side. It took 3 hours but the directions were right on. We got a day pass to drive through the resort which is huge!
We found our site which is very large and should work fine. It has no sewer so we will have to minimize use of our “facilities” for the week. Using the campground facilities during the day and not using the washer will help. When in Retama under normal usage we can go a week so it should be fine. Worse case scenario is we have to close up, drive to the dump, then set back up.
Because we were in the car, we took one of the three routes on the GPS back home and boy was Rob correct. It was a long steep drive down the mountain with turns galore, signs advising lower gears, and a truck runaway ramp. However, it was only two hours to get home.
I don’t remember what we did Friday but on Saturday we went to Chambersberg to a street festival. It was extremely hot so we did little besides walking the streets with booths before heading to Mass and out to dinner.
Sunday was Tom’s 78th Birthday so we took them to lunch at the Dobbin House. This is a home built in 1776. Much of it is still original and we chose to sit in the spring cellar furnished now as a tavern. The food and service were excellent. We all took enough home for Sunday dinner.
