Chantilly, VA 5-30-07



Pics: 1) Potomac River (from the Unimog and on a bridge); 2) a chipmunk at the Gettysburg KOA (is it Chip or Dale?)

Saw squirrels and chipmunks

We left John and Diane's today and drove up to Gettysburg, PA. We'll have the warranty work done on the Unimog in Lancaster before we start exploring the Gettysburg Battlefield area tomorrow.

We crossed from Virginia into Maryland at 1340; then crossed from Maryland into Pennsylvania at 1435. We were both surprised that we crossed the Potomac River on our route. We took our time and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We had a leisurely dinner and evening at the Gettysburg KOA and watched the squirrels, chipmunks and a movie on the Gettysburg area and battlefield monument. This KOA also has the largest chess and checkers sets to play with (the chess pieces are waist high; the checkers are about 12" or more across). After sunset, we sat out at our site's picnic table and worked on our blog entries for the last three days - until the bugs drove us crazy. Unfortunately, some also came into the RV with us!
