We left Forest Lake Campground on Thursday, a day earlier than scheduled, a drove to the Chesapeak Bay TT Campground near Gloucester, VA on the Planatank River. Its a beautiful campground with a couple lakes and a boat ramp and fishing docks on the river. Lots of trees and our campsite is overlooking one of the lakes. The drive yesterday was about 300 miles, that's long enough through Greensboro, NC, and Petersburg and Richmond, VA. Took I85 to I95 then East on I64. Exitedon VA33 to Glenns and took VA198 to campground. We're getting the trailer setup and takedown pretty well. More trouble than the motorhome, but still like advantages of travel trailer and Jeep. Enjoy being able to sightsee with the vehicle and towing the collapsed trailer is no problem. Expanding it gives us plenty of room and good facilities.
Got here about 3 p.m. yesterday and was in the pool after setting up camp by 3:45. We did stop at Petersburg yesterday for lunch. Tried to find a Cracker Barrel from signs on the interstate, but couldn't locate it when we got off. Didn't want to keep driving around with the trailer in tow so gave up and tried the All American Buffet. It was ok, but nothing special.
Its about 8:30 a.m. EDT and Nelda's doing laundry while I'm in Adult Lounge using the dialup service that is provided to members. Plan to go into Gloucester and look around and have lunch. Tomorrow we will go to Williamsburg and Jamestown. There is a Lutheran church in Gloucester that we'll check out and see if we want to go there on Sunday or worship here at the non-denominational service at the campground. Thousand Trails is very Christian friendly. At Forest Lake they were planning a VBS for both campers and the community.
Check out the pictures we took on the way here.
