We went to Fredericksburg one more time for some barbecue and ice cream before leaving Virginia. I had started seeking out the barbecue joints in each town to try the different types. We left Lake Anna yesterday and we had the park with a beach practically to ourselves. We met some really nice folks @ Lake Anna. It seems like every place we stop the people are very friendly! The trip from there to here was a long drawn out one through a lot of back roads and severe traffic around Washington DC. We left the Lake Anna campground @ 2:00pm and finally landed here in Lancaster @ 8:30pm in the middle of a severe thunderstorm. We only traveled 210 miles in 6 1/2 hours, but I was beat from hauling the monster through all the traffic and small back roads. There was one part of construction that had us traveling down a bridge with concrete barriers only 10' apart leaving a measly 1 foot for error on each side. Talk about a white knuckle ride. I think Karen was more afraid then I was. After finding the campground in the pouring rain, we proceeded to our site which was occupied by someone else so we took one of the open pull through sites for the night.
Today we awoke to sweet smell of cow poop, as we are right next to an Amish farm. I have already gotten used to the smell and we already took a horse drawn Amish Buggy tour today. The kids loved it and I think its really interesting to see how these people live and the farmland in which they do it is beautiful.
Chris, it was nice meeting you guys. I'm looking forward to reading your blog over the next few months. Safe travels.
