Our first trip of the year to Twin Grove.. This is where Kim and I got married. The only thing this place needs, is a fishing pond. Staff is great, activities are outstanding, just a great time always. Golf carts are $50 a day, and lots of fun, especially when they have the super soaker hayride. That's next trip.
Anyway, I was working at Ft Indiantown Gap, which is a few miles from Twin Grove, so I took the car to work and Kim drove the motorhome to Twin Grove. When she got there, she was holding a piece of the weatherstripping through the window. It came off and smacked all over the left side of the RV. She had to pull over on Rt 78, during rush hour on a Friday. She was pretty well a wreck when she got their. So we got set up, and went to the restaurant for supper. We both had crab melts. Later, we went to the arcade and ride area, spent some money, as usual. Well worth the fun.
Relaxed at the campfire till about 11. Went to bed, Karel, our daughter, woke us up about 12:30 with a bad headache and a stomach ache. Got her back to bed fairly quickly, only to be woken up at 1 am by thunder, and more thunder, and more thunder. That storm lasted till 5:30am, non stop. Extremely heavy rain, and lightening like I've never seen before, even in Kansas. I pity the people next to us in a tent. So Saturday, needless to say, the campground was pretty mellow, probably because everyone was up all night.
Crafts in the morning, always a great selection. Kim and Karel went swimming after that, and I took a much needed nap. 4pm was tye die t-shirts, and they used a different technique. They actually sprayed the die on, which gave some neat looking patterns.
After that, supper at the restaurant. this time it was the Yuengling fried haddock.
the restaurant at Twin Grove is always under new management. But every time we go there, the food is absolutely excellent. Plus it's kind of nice not having to cook for a weekend. Saturday evening we had another quick t-storm. Went to the arcade to kill some time. Sat at the campfire later for about 10 minutes, then when it thundered again, it was time to go in.
So back up a bit. Saturday afternoon, Kim came out of no where and said it might be time for a new RV. She knows I'm fighting a battle with oxidation, and now I got some strange spots on the rear panel. Her with the weather stripping, and the occasional mystery puddle in 1 of our upper cabinets, I think made her say that. So now to find a new Class C, probably with bunks, for the price we saw at the shows back in January. We'll see what happens.
Sunday we packed up, and I flushed out the black tank. This is a must do at Twin Grove, because their water pressure is great. That being said, be sure to use a pressure regulator. On a previous trip, we saw 2 different people blow their plumbing in their rv's apart.
So in less than 2 weeks, we head to Cape May, New Jersey for 4 nights.
