Washington DC

Posted on November 5, 2016 by

Such a beautiful sunny day!  A city bus stops at Cherry Hill RV Park and brings you to a nearby Metro train station. So that’s what we used to get the Capitol area today. The moment we arrived up from … Continue reading →

Washington DC

Posted on October 20, 2015 by

We are in a wooded campground in Greenbelt National Park just north of Washington DC. We’ve been here a few times before, it’s pretty old and rustic and hard to fit our 34′ rig into the spaces, but we managed. … Continue reading →

Move to Greenbelt

Posted on April 3, 2014 by

Since Cracker Barrel was kind enough to allow us to stay the night in their parking lot the least we could do is go in for a good breakfast before we hit the road. Apparently many of the Canadians in … Continue reading →

Greenbelt Park, MD

Posted on October 30, 2013 by

It rained over night and for a while this morning.  Once it stopped we hit the road, moving further south, to Greenbelt Park in Maryland.  I’ll never get used to these metro multi-lane highways.  Give me the rural four-lane interstates! … Continue reading →
