The Maiden Voyage

The time has finally come.....to camp!  After 15 months of restorations, I am off to enjoy the company of fellow Rver's who I have been so envious of.  Along for the ride is my son, father & our small dog.  I load the bikes for the big adventure & unbeknownst to me I would have to use a bicycle for transportation later on in the trip.

We leave on a beautiful but very,very hot morning.   The heat does not faze us, as the camper had just come out of the shop for air conditioning repair and was blowing ice cold air.   Low and behold we did not get 15 miles from home and the A/C had stopped blowing cold.  It seems the compressor had failed.  After saying a few choice words and some under the breath grunts, we reluctantly head back into the cab to continue our journey.  Once again, that does not faze us, since we have the old fashioned wing windows that will cool us just enough to keep us alive!

Driving North to our destination to Frontier Town Family Campground, the beautiful drive takes up and along Rt. 13 through Virginia into Maryland.  With it's straight, flat & pot hole free road we arrive in just a few hours to enjoy the afternoon of relaxing, unwinding and wasting no time to turn on the Rooftop A/C to MAX.  Whew! One day of driving down and many more to go.

The campground itself is huge in comparison to many, with plenty of activities for children.  It is heavily wooded and tucked away overlooking the Sinepuxent Bay which is located across from Assateague Island.  With not making reservations ahead of time (which I highly suggest for future outings), we were only able to stay one evening in which my son's face was turned from happiness to utter disappointment.  In leaving behind his newly found friends, we promised to return soon for a longer stay.
