We visited Knoebels Amusement Park while in Pennsylvania.  Vicki “forced” me to ride the Phoenix Wooden Roller Coaster.  We had a blast!  Listen for the “Oooo” and “Ahhh” from Vicki.  It was GREAT!

In the video: Tom (me) holding camera, Tracy is next to me, Vicki is behind her and Randy is next to Vicki.

Here is the video:

Tammy’s parents were already in Pennsylvania.  We drove up there and parked the RV.  We texted Tammy’s mom expecting a certain reaction.  It worked!  We texted “What are you doing?” (we knew the answer).  Her mom said: “Cooking out”.  We replied “Mmmmm.  Sounds yummy.  We want some”.  Her mother replied: “Well, come on up!”.  We drove up shortly afterwards.  1647 miles in a few minutes?  No, we were there.  The surprise is better than we could have expected!

We are at North 40 truck stop getting ready for a quick shower. We will fill up the fresh water tank while here since it is available. Then on the road again. It is neat getting ready and doing WHAT you want WHEN you want.

Stop for dinner

We tried to go on the Lost River Cave boat ride but it was already closed. We were able to see the butterfly habitat along with a nice hike. Our dinner choice today is Ruby Tuesday. We aren’t cooking this meal. I think that this is our second meal out on the driving part of our trip. Not bad. I almost forget how to eat out.

Love’s rocks

We were low on water this morning. Both holding tanks were full. It is a boondocker’s nightmare. We left showerless this morning. Along the way, we looked up a dump station on rvdumps.com and found the closest dump spot. It was the wonderful Love’s. We rushed to get there. Once we got here, we dumped our tanks and filled our water. All for the low price of FREE! We nuked a couple of leftover burgers as we are parked in the trucker’s section and are now getting ready for showers.
The moral of the story? Love’s rocks! Flying J is about the same in that reguard but Love’s Travel currently has my heart.

We just had sausage and eggs with powdered doughnuts. I had coffee and Tammy had hot chocolate with marshmallows. Ibbi is waiting patiently in the doorway as I walk Wikki.
A couple of showers and we will be on the road!

We are having breakfast. The item here that is unique is something called Scrapple. It is my first time but it sounds like I will like it. The building is an actual trolly car.

My navigator, Tammy, took us down this dusty old cattle road. This was in search of a resting place for the night. Sheesh.

Ever set off the smoke alarm in your house? It is twice as easy in a 200 square foot place! It is thick in here…
