October 2, 2009 – Mind changing events

After Hershey, we thought we would drop down to Gettysburg for a couple of days.  I’ve never seen the battlefield, but everyone who ever has raves about it.  We talked with a camper from Texas who recommended a good campground in the immediate vicinity so that was where we headed.

Arriving at the campground we started the check-in process.  We weren’t sure how long we might want to stay and asked how long it might take to drive to Pittsburgh.  Four to five hours was the replay, much longer then we thought.  Then we asked how much the campground cost.  When we were told, 69 dollars, Carol asked if something special was going on.  It’s Apple Harvest Weekend.  If we come back on Monday the price will drop to 47 dollars. Carol looked at me.  I looked at Carol and we both said, “We’ll see you next week”.  But now where do we go.  We sat in a Wal-Mart parking lot and studied the map.  Carol selected a camp ground in Bedford, PA., about an hour and a half down the road.  Back on the road, it rained all the way.  We found the campground and called it a day.
