We drove our coach 246 miles, about four hours of driving, from Beaver, West Virginia to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Here’s a map showing our route, heading west:

We had no sewer hookup at our campsite; when we were ready to leave our gray and black tanks were both at 83%:

So we stopped by the dump station on the way out:

A very narrow road out of the park:

Of course, as we head out of West Virginia, we had to play John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads:

We drove our coach 102 miles, about two hours of driving, from Manassas, Virginia to Hanover, Pennsylvania. This was a last-minute change to our route, to avoid spending the weekend at NIRVC, and so we could pick up another state.

Some kids on the side of the road waved and signaled to blow our air horn; Jenn obliged them, and they jumped with joy (see it in the video from today):

A little narrow:

“Sorry your GPS is wrong”; one of our GPSes did say to go through this driveway as if it were a road, but fortunately I check our route quite carefully, so I knew about it ahead of time:

Lots of distinctive Pennsylvania barns like this in the area:

Entering the state park, “campers next left”:

We untoaded in the dump station:

Our site, rather unlevel:

We arrived on a Sunday when they were closed, so they had provided us with a link to open the gate, so we could get in and camp for the night:

Our coach, with the workshops behind:

I looked for a spot to park for the night; this was easy, though not very flat:

In the future, we’d just park on the concrete next to the building; there are electrical outlets there too. Now we know. We plan to be back again next year for our annual servicing.
