Night of the owls

We're still in Tuckahoe. Except for the host campers and us, the campground is empty. sandi and I were wathing the TV for Ernesto updates and playing cards when around 9:30 PM I heard the distinctive "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for me?" call of the Barred Owl. We went out side to get a better listen and were treated to a concert of every barred owl sound as three or four of these owls competed for attention. I've often heard them but I do not believe I have ever heard such a phenominal chorous.

Charlotte NC to Tuckahoe State Park, MD

We left NC and followed the Blue Ridge Parkway northward. A highlight of the trip north was a stop at the Natural Bridge in Virginia. Sandi and I have since childhood both seen signs but never had the opportunity to stop. Well worth the while. We spent the night at Loft Mountain Loop Campground in the Shenandoah National Forest in VA. The next day we continued north through part of the Skyline Drive and then into Baltimore where we picked up Jayme (our daughter) and Braelyn (grandaughter - 3 mos.) and headed to PA to visit family. Parked the night in the yard at Bob and Shirley Reeser's along the Schuylkill River. Had a great visit with parents, and my brother, sister-in-law, and niece. Next day we headed to Harrisburg to visit Sandi's brother and family and then headed south to Ft Meade, MD where we spent most of the week. Had a great visit from Scott and Lou Wales who stopped by enroute from MA to NC. We left Ft Meade yesterday and pulled into Tuckahoe State Park where we will spend the next ten days visiting our son Bill, his wife Ann and playing with Marisa and Sammy our Grandchildren. Should be a great week. We do have a wedding to attend. Our daughter's best friend is getting married.

First Blog entry

Bear with me this is my first entry. I have been keeping a log for over a year now and after attending a seminar in Charlotte, NC about RVing and blogs put on by Jim and Chris I decided that I needed a blog and could do it myself.

We are in Reading Pennsylvania, will go to Harrisburg today to visit more relatives and then will settle in at Ft Meade in Marland for a week. Then I'll really work on this blog. Look for updates.
