This first picture is the morning of Friday October 16, 2009. We are in the Poconos and most of the snow has melted from the previous evening storm. We got up early and were on the road by 8:15. We wanted to drive as far away from the storm as we could. We had watched the weather and the outlook for the day was more of the Nor'Easter. We were all set with that......
This was just up the street from the campground - but higher elevation. It was really pretty. We were happy to be heading south!
We decided after almost 200 miles of driving in the rain, sleet, and snow the whole way we would stop for the night. We had reached Maryland and were about 40 minutes outside of Baltimore. Another reason to stop was because it was Friday afternoon and driving through Baltimore and Washington on a Friday afternoon is not any event the we wanted to participate in.
This is a picture at the entrance of the campground. It was located about 10 miles off the highway and was really pretty. A very large campground with great view. We would have better pictures but the weather was raining and nasty.
Here is Russ sitting outside the motorhome at our site in the campground. We were located on the side of a hill, with a great camp sight. He was relaxing after a hard days work!
After resting for a bit we decided to play tourist and head into "town." We had read about an Amish Market that was located close by. This is a picture of 3 of the birdhouses (for sale) that were on display outside.
This is a picture of the "Big Chair" located at the entrance. It stood probably 10 feet tall. Russ was going to climb up so I could get a picture of him sitting in it - but it was still cold and raining. He didn't want to get wet.
This was inside the Amish Market. I would have hopped on for a ride but I was afraid the horse might not like it.
On the way back to camp, Russ saw this HUGE sunflower field. All the sunflowers were facing their heads down and out of the wind and rain.
So that was Friday. Saturday would begin with driving through Baltimore and Washington and then as far south as we could go. We were determined to have "sunshine on our sholders" by the end of Saturday.
