We left Gettysburg on Monday 5th (a holiday in Canada) but first were very lucky to find S&S RV Service nearby. We had sprung a leak in the exhaust (muffler). George Scott, the owner took us in right away on Monday morning. He was very knowledgable about the Workhorse Chassis (It is a 2007 vehicle) made by Chevrolet and also the Banks exhaust system that we have. Not only did they repair the exhaust (two gaskets needed) but advised on a couple of intermittent issues - instruments turn on and off unexpectedly, a leaking water pump (he said), that there had been a recall on the brakes which he thinks has been done and an ABS light that comes on intermittently. I was most impressed with his knowledge.
We were able to leave at 1.30 after having been to a Starbucks to get their high speed internet and update the Blog.
We are heading west now and need to be in Minot North Dakota for Wednesday 14th August and the Family Motor Coach Association rally. I have shown Hugh the Frommer book on RVing which outlines more than twelve different types of people/personalities that go RVing!
These are Garbo Gourmets (those who like to live the comfortable life style on the go), Sportsmen, Weekenders, Families on vacation, Ecotourists, The ultimate shoppers, Relatives, Retirees and Empty Nesters, Pet lovers, Travelers with disabilities, Special events attendees, Snowbirds and Full-Timers. We will potentially meet them all at this rally.
We found Rocky Gap State Park at Flintstone, Maryland for Monday night. Another state park with nicely spaced sites, good washrooms, electrical hookup (for the air conditioning) and on Tuesday morning we did about a 7 KM bike ride on a very challenging (roots and rocks) path around Lake Habeeb adjacent to the park.
Now we are at a Good Sam camp ground - Wolfe’s Campground at Zanesville, Ohio.
