Well, morning has risen on another exciting camping trip!
This weekend we ended up at Parker Dam State Park in PA. We had plans to camp at the Benzette Store campground. but it turns out that not only does the campground itself suck, but their camping policies suck as well.
We were prepared to overlook the fact that the campground sucks. We figured the fact that there may be elk in the campground would make up for that. What ended it was when we tried to check in. Johnny and Janice brought Timmy and we brought Thomas, so we have 6 people and 4 tents. They wanted to charge by tent, so one night of camping would have cost us $104.00! Good God! I told him it does not make sense that the family with the giant motorhome is paying $26 and we were paying $104.00, but they were more or less uninterested in talking. He even tried to find something in their flier about this but could not find it.
Parker Dam is a fantastic place so it all worked out in the end!
Well, it looks like it is payback time for making Skidplate sleep in the forest last night. Now we are swimming in luxury in St. Marys, PA.
I suggested that we try to spot some elk and this is the only place we could get to stay. Skid is delighted.
It was a very cold night. The thermometer on the motorcycle is showing 44 degrees right now. I still managed to get a pretty good nights sleep even with the cold. I got a solid 9 hours of sleep and it is looking like today is going to be a perfect day. There is not a cloud in the sky and I am sure once the sun gets above the mountains it is going to warm up fast!
I am spending this weekend riding PA Rt. 6.
I am writing this from inside my tent at Twin Lakes Recreation Area near Kane, PA. It is a very nice campground in a very nice area of Pennsylvania. It is getting a little brisk right now and Slidplate is whining about being cold. I am not even in the sleeping bag but I am comfortable.
Tomorrow we will continue east on 6 until we get bored with it. We have no specific plans so it is impossible to know where we may spend the night tomorrow.
