Thursday July 31,2008

Here we are the end of the month and we must leave Hershey today. We are headed into New York and our new campground this evening is Forest Lake Campground, 15 miles East of Binghamton. We leave Hershey early in the morning like 8:30 am. We had pretty much everything picked up the night before so we just had to pump the black water tank, then the gray water tank. Pick up the electric and of course pick up the ground cover rug. After all of that we needed to still hitch up the car. To do this we needed not to be blocking the roadway so it was up to the clubhouse and the parking lot there.

Tom wanted Nancy to put the parking brake on the car before we tried to hook up. We managed to make the connections, which took a little time. Then we were on our way. We heard this terrible noise and Tom had Nancy get out and check the auto. Everything looked o.k. And a man who was walking by told Nancy that his brake system does the same thing. So, off we went on our journey to New York.

Arriving in New York at our campground we were very impressed. Nancy went in to register us and Tom stayed at the motor home to disconnect the auto. When Nancy was finished registering us she came out to an angry Tom. Nancy had not dis-engaged the parking brake, so we had driven from Hershey to Forest Lake (180 miles) with the damn thing on. Wow, was Tom upset with Nancy!!!!!

When Sandy, the, camp owner, took us around to our campsite we were really impressed. We drove around a lake and our site was right on the water. What a beautiful camp ground. I think this is the best one we have ever had. When we had cocktails out under the canopy that evening, we were looking at the lake and the mountain behind, what a spectacular site to behold.
