Headed Home Through Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia

We left Freeport, ME headed to Bristol, CT. I selected this campground for 2 reasons. 1) we needed a stop around 300 miles from Freeport and 2) we have never stayed in CT and this was a good opportunity to stay in a new state. We have stayed here before, but not in the MH. The campground was Bear Creel Campground and it was attached to an amusement park (Lake Compounce). Of course that was of no interest to us. We had a nice long pull through site and we didn't even need to unhook the car.

It was kind of an odd location as we were next door to a landfill site and we could hear a very large fan running all night. It didn't disturb our sleep and it didn't smell. The CG had cabins and tepees to stay in. I don't know what they looked like inside, but they looked interesting on the outside. The CG wasn't crowded at all for a Saturday. I guess school was in and the kids were busy elsewhere.

 Crossing the Hudson River we had a nice view of the exclusive houses on the river bank.

The worst part of the whole trip coming home was the condition of the roads in CT and NY. They were in such poor shape that it felt like you were on a roller coaster and it almost jarred you brains out. Two States with very high taxes and the condition of their roads were horrible. This is a one picture that you can see the road. YIKES. It was so bad poor little Finny threw up and I can't blame him one bit.

The next stop was at a KOA CG in Williamsport, MD. It sounded nice on the internet, but it was way the heck down a narrow, winding dirt road along a creek. It was a bit tricky to maneuver  from the office to our site, but again we had a pull thru and didn't have to unhook. I decided to take little Bentley for a walk around the CG. Two little boys about 3 yrs. old came running over to see him. They were so cute and excited to see a kitty in a stroller. We walked around to the front of the CG by the office and we found an enclosure with chickens, roosters and goats. The chickens did their best to entertain Bentley and the roosters crowed to show off their vocal range.  Bentley was thoroughly entertained a a bit nervous.

  The chickens were all different and when they started to fight Bentley and I decided to go back to the MH.

 In the morning as I was warming up the car and getting ready to leave, David spotted a bunny sitting underneath the car. We brought him out some lettuce so that he could have a proper breakfast. He obviously was another of the CG hosts pets that lived there. So cute.

Our last stop was in Wytheville, Va at the KOA CG. We have stayed here a few times before and it is always convenient. They even have a bowling alley at the CG ad some nice activities. We are always only here for overnight, so we've never used any of the amenities. The site we were in were in a  new area, was extra long and nice and quiet. We arrived about 3:30 and since we were so close to downtown Wytheville we would go check out the local quilt shop Batiks, etc. It was located in downtown Wytheville in an old building. The shop had lots and lots of batiks and some other fabrics. There was nothing I needed or was looking for, but I noticed some fabric the I bought at Chattanooga Quilts in 2013 to make Emma a dress. I couldn't believe they still had that fabric and that it was $13.00 a yard. Yikes, that fabric wasn't $13.00 in 2013.

When we were ready to leave the next morning something scared nervous little Finny and he went to his safe place. Poor kitty, everything scares him. Maybe he was anticipating another rough road trip through NY.

We arrived home on Tuesday and the kitties were pretty happy to be home and so were we.
