After a trip to the local CVS to pick up some bug stuff! I spent $43 on repellent, a personal protection device that I am not sure will really work, spray for the inside of the rig and then some cream to heal the wounds. I return to the RV park and everyone is ready to head out. We pull out of the park and hook up the cars. We are ready to go! Guess what? After $43 and lots of complaining and pain I show Paul my arm and ask “do you think this is poison oak, I do?” Yep, I don’t even have any mosquito bites (maybe a couple) I have a pretty good case of poison oak or that is what it looks like. I have only had it once and that was a small patch the size of a quarter when I was 18! Paul is the one that gets this stuff. Now the question is how did I get it and he didn’t? He gets it thinking about it. At least now I can relax about the bugs! Yuck!!
Our next stop is Intercourse Pennyslvania and it is a bit too far for us to make from Kitty Hawk in one day so we are going to overnight somewhere. Pat & Kip have never overnighted in a Walmart Parking lot! Boy are they in for a treat. Kip found us a Walmart near Fredericksburg which is about 1/2 way to Intercourse. We arrive about 6 pm, get parked, get the BBQ out and cook up some steaks. Yeah, we are saving $60 on our accomodations so we get steak.
Everything went fine until about 5 am when bus loads of people and cars start showing up and parking near us. About 6:30 a megaphone starts but we can’t understand. I finally get up about 7 and we are boxed in and there is a marathon going on in the street infront of the Walmart!
Kip assesses the situation. I go do some grocery shopping and when I return, we are unhooking the cars to make room and pulling up stakes and getting on the road. They are closing the road about 8:30 and getting out is only going to get more difficult until about 1 pm!
We made it and are on our way north!
