Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Swap Meet @ White Rose

This is the first meet of this type we have attended. Basically 2 days of folks selling stuff, stuck engines, good engines, junk bikes, good bikes and everything in between. This was the 18th annual meet at White Rose Motorcycle Club near Jefferson PA which is near Hanover PA.

I'm sure one of our club members wanted this but ...

I didn't ask if it ran.


A new meaning for hard tail



We choose to camp at Codorus State Park and arrived on Friday. This is a large park that surrounds a lake. Very nice. As you can see we had a very wooded site. There is no water at the sites only electric. Most sites are 30A and there are a few 50A.

Westmoreland SP Virginia

Well I worked around the house for several days and needed a vacation. We decided to go to Westmoreland state park on what is called the Northern Neck of Virginia. It is about 2 hours away.

We decided to take Logan on his first camping trip. I also wanted to do some swimming in the Olympic size pool. Suzette want to do a little kayaking. Well the pool was closed because lightning had caused the pump to go out, rats.

We did take an evening guided kayak tour to fossil beach and searched for shark teeth among other treasures. Other than the kayak tour we took a few walks around the area as well as drive through all the camping and cabin areas.



One of the hikes with Logan took us to fossil beach and the yellow swamp. Logan liked the beach and frolicked in the waves, not very deep. He wanted to bite the wave caps as they came ashore.

We took a trip on Thursday which was our rainy day and visited George Washington's birth place. We also visited Colonial Beach which was devastated by Isabel 2 years ago. The area looked very good however one of our seafood restaurants, The Happy Clam, was never rebuilt. The Osprey, left, were on pilings at the restaurant location.
