Oneonta
Uneventful trip to Susquehanna Trails CG our first Passport America park. $17.50. A little dated with railroad tracks across the street from the CG. We are toward the rear and really aren't bothered by the occasional train.
After we got set up we went out to get the Jeep washed. It was really dirty from towing in the rain when we left Lake Anna. With the kayaks on top we just cleared the wash bay. We weren't sure we could clear pulling forward so we backed out. Then off to WM to pick up a few things. I bought 28" wiper blades since the 32" that are on the coach are not usually stocked in stores. Just a slight modification to get the automobile blades to fit but they look like they will do the job. The 4" loss isn't really noticeable, we'll see how they do on the road.
Dinner at Brooks House of BBQ. Best BBQ chicken.
Off to Vermont tomorrow.

We're not there, we're somewhere else
While at Newport News we visited with our friends Toby and Mary. On Wednesday Toby and I sailed on a J40, raced actually, and were first to cross the line but were 2nd on corrected time. We had to make up about 5 minutes and were able to get a 2 minutes on the last leg and about 30 seconds more on the next to last leg. Quite a ride.
While we were sailing Mary and Suzette had a girls night out. Shopping and dinner out.
From Newport News we went to Lake Anna and hung out there for several days. We were able to renew some friendships at the park as well as see friends from the time we lived there.
While we were dumping on our way out of the park I hooked up the Jeep. As I attempted to get the Jeep in tow mode I noticed that the transfer case lever was not connected to the transfer case mechanism. Called a local dealer, Fredericksburg, and they said to bring it in and they would get right on it. They did and $180 later we were on our way back to the park to get hooked up and head out.
Had to take a few 2 lane roads. That takes some getting used to when you are driving a 8'6" wide coach and meet an equally large 18 wheeler or other large truck.
We arrived at Jonestown KOA, formally Lickdale campground, about 6 pm.
