We are OK

Hey, we are alive.  We did not get kidnapped . so if you got a ransom note don't pay it.

Before I tell you where we are now I will just tell you where we have been all this time and let you get caught up on things.

We left the Hollywood Casino Free parking spot and headed down through Virginia on our way to a point to go across into West Virginia.  But first it was a stop to fill up with gas for $2.48 a gallon instead of $2.89 in West Virginia.

After traveling the country in West Virginia.


See barns after barns and corn fields.

We could see at a distance what we were headed for!

And a closer look at Seneca Rocks. It is a beautiful site and shear rocks where people from the US to challenge the rocks by climbing them.
We spent four days at the Seneca Shadows Campground and really enjoyed those days.  Of course we didn't have wifi or phone signals.

Next was Sherwood Lake Campground which is in the Monongahela National Forest.
We had a site right on the lake side.

We saw deer everyday in the campground.

I think this is some kind of mushroom that was close to our site.  If you know what it is please tell me in the comments section. After four day we where ready to leave.

Well not really, we noticed that there were some dispersed  sites just a couple of miles outside the campground.  We saw a nice site beside the creek so we parked there for two days.

This was looking out of our door, the creek with the clear water looked nice and cool (and it was).


With five waterfalls making a nice sound and no problem sleeping.  We stayed here another two
days and really enjoyed looking and listening to the creek.

Then it was on to Bluestone Lake Campground where we had our Family reunion this year.
The first four days we were in the primitive section. then we moved to the camping area where we had electric and water.  We spent more time this year with out service hookups than we ever have and this after we installed a residential refrigerator.

Of course we have a new little friend that is a 1000W Sportsman generator. Its hard to believe that with a 1/2 gallon gas tank that will run it 6  1/2 hours before it needs filling again. But we also have the 5500W Onan generator.  We run "little Genny" (that's what we call it) most of the time.
Also 425 watts of solar panels on the roof with a 2000W sine wave inverter we get along just fine.

Now to put you up to date we are in the Cumberland Gap Campground for a time that depends.
Well as this trip has been with a lot of things wearing out----my front levelers decided to join in and not holding up and leaking hydraulic fluid out.  They are at an Hydraulic Shop and we are waiting to see if they can repair them.

With all that has happened this is still one of our best trips.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Glad you are Safe and Enjoying this trip.
Most Hydraulics are rebuildable so unless there is a major score in the Piston Rod you should be good.

It's about time.

I think your mushroom is a Chicken of the Woods.
