Monday, August 2, 2004 We left Beverly at noon time today for a short trip to the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT. The Massachusetts roads are so bad that we were attacked by closet objects when we open up any door. But the big problem we had was the right fender of the car lost some screws and was nearly off when we got here. So there we were in the casino parking lot trying to make do with our handy screw gun until we can get the right screws. Oh well, we'll see if it holds tomorrow. It needs to stay intact about seven hours or so until we get to Penn. The Mohegan Sun is an Indian owned casino, has a variety of restaurants and lots of shops. It offers a wide range of entertainment from basketball games to Loretta Lynn, Rod Stewart and Paul Anka. We spent the night in the parking lot, enjoyed their buffet and left a donation at the slots. Catch you tomorrow.
Tuesday- August 3rd Today we traveled to Kutztown, Pa. to the Pine Hill Campground. We have been here before as it is on our route from the Tappan Zee in N.Y. We traveled I-287 and I-87 most of the way. When the sun was out it was 107.9 in the sun. We ran with our generator for a while with both air conditioners on. We didn't turn on the cab air because we were concerned with over heating, after an hour's hold up on I-87. We were both glad to get off the road today.
Wed. August 4th... We spent the morning traveling to the other end of Penn. We also stopped and did a little shopping in Cabela's. There were a lot of other RV'ers there, some I'm sure had spent the night there. L. L. Bean, in Maine allows that too. I'm glad we had air conditioner last night. Already at 10am , it is 101 in the sun. We past lots of farms growing corn. August is the best month for corn, although it's not as high as the elephant's eye yet, it looks pretty good. We are now tucked safely in Keystone RV Park on the Maryland / Penn line waiting for the gusty winds and rain. Catch you later.
