Intro – Today is
July 26th and as I mentioned, we are staying at the TT Horseshoe Lakes
campground near Clinton. It’s a small
campground (TT most likely bought out a local campground that’s been here for
years and renamed it as a TT campground), more suited to fishing and taking a
canoe or paddleboat out onto one of the small lakes here. There’s no swimming or wading in any of the
lakes, so that's a bummer. The TT
reserve has a small pool (nothing like the Olympic-sized pool at the TT
campground in Hershey, where we just recently spent a couple weeks and were
joined by our two sons and their families for a couple days at the nearby
Hershey Park. But I get ahead of
myself. [Below are photos of Obidiah Longbeard, The Traveling Lord of LynDen Haus, posing at a couple spots at the RP campground in Woodbine...isn't he one handsome fella?
Let's go back to July 10th
when we left the Rambling Pines (RP) campground in Woodbine, MD. After we sold
our house in Westminster, MD, we moved into the Winnebago fulltime and camped
out at RP from mid-April and until we left on 10 July. RP is a nice family-oriented campground with
lots of activities. We had a couple of
the grandkids join us at different times: Ben and Luke, and then Ben and
Rayne (that's the two of them in the photo to the right when we took them to a nearby amusement park (and Ben is leading!). The oldest granddaughter, Skye – who
has turned into a terrific fast-pitch softball player (mostly at catcher) – had
numerous games/tournaments this summer that prevented her from joining us. But she was part of the day at Hershey Park,
where we all had a great time.
But back to RP. While there, we witnessed two hot air balloons being set up from scratch, and then launched. Quite a feat getting one of those balloons stretched out and pumped full of hot air, let me tell you. We've posted a couple pictures of the set up and launch.
Also noteworthy in the RP area are a couple of restaurants we really like. In nearby Sykesville, MD, there is Baldwin’s Station. The restaurant occupies the old Sykesville train station and is quite nice. Good food and drink, with entertainment on the weekend. Plus they carry 25-year old MaCallan’s scotch! In nearby Woodbine itself sits the Woodbine Inn, a local bar and restaurant, that we found had some wonderfully delicious cream of crab soup. The café sits right on the Howard - Carroll county line, so easy to find on Route 94 just a mere two miles north of I-70. Definitely worth a stop for lunch or dinner.
After some minor repair work on the motorhome at Beckley’s RV Sales and Service in Thurmont, MD, we headed north for the two hour drive to TT Hershey, just on the other side the Campbelltown, PA, on Route 322. More to follow on the next blog.
