Our review on Campground Reviews:

Beautifully tended campground

We stopped here for one night and were delighted with our stay. The owners and staff were all very friendly and welcoming, where it truly felt like they wanted to help, not just as a matter of course. Check-in was a breeze, and then we were escorted to our site, which was clean and in good condition. The pull-through was long enough for our 40-foot motorhome and tow vehicle without having to disconnect. They offer food delivery to your site, which is appreciated after a day of driving, so we enjoyed pizza, fried mozzarella sticks, and milkshakes. All in all, this was a pleasant stop and we’d be happy to stay again. We camped at Scottsburg Raintree Lake KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

Arriving at NIRVC for the annual servicing of our coach (we arrived on a weekend, but they had sent a link to open the gate):

Arriving at NIRVC

We were originally going to stay in our coach while it was being serviced, but we were feeling sick with Covid, so decided it’d be more comfortable to stay in a nearby pet-friendly hotel instead. So we did that, and were very glad we did.

Our review on Campground Reviews:

A bit expensive, but convenient

We needed a one-night stay on short notice, and this campground worked. It was a fairly basic site for $100. If we were staying longer and making use of the amenities, it would feel more worth it. Slightly annoying that the camp hosts told us we’d need to unhook our tow vehicle because it wouldn’t fit in the site, which was wrong–there was plenty of space to remain hooked up, and we would not have been in the road on either side. Site was mostly level and the utilities all worked well. We camped at Olive Branch Campground in a Motorhome.

Just a one night stop, so no real opinion on whether or not we’d stay here again; probably so, though we’d ignore the office saying their site wasn’t long enough to remain toaded if we did.

Baseball: Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago White Sox

We did a pregame tour and attended a game of the Pittsburgh Pirates vs the Chicago White Sox at the Pirates’ ballpark, PNC Park.

Jenn’s game summary:

We took a tour of the park before the game, and it’s a lovely ballpark. A beautiful view of the skyline and numerous neat touches throughout—plantings and artwork that tie the present to the past. The team has a rich history and shows much respect for its roots. The current team, however, is not good. Blown out by the White Sox, who are also one of the worst teams—an embarrassment. Still, the fans show up to root for “the Bucs”. Cute pierogi race between innings and a Warhol cam to salute a famous son of the city.
