Front Royal, VA to Gifford Pinchot State Park, PA

We left North Fork Resort this morning a little before 11 a.m. Mike usually has me direct him when pulling out of a campsite, but he said we had plenty of room. We both forgot about the fire ring on the site left of the RV. Long story short, Mike drove over the fire ring & it ended up getting stuck between the exhaust pipe and the rear wheel - we couldn't drive forward or backward. A campground worker came by & tried to dig around the fire ring with a shovel so he could pull it out with his truck; but it was lodged too tightly. I suggested raising the driver side & seeing if they could pull the fire ring out. I put the jacks down & raised the right side enough that the fire ring could be pulled out with the truck. Then we connected the Vue to the hitch & we were on the road.

We stopped at the Flying J at Clear Brook, VA for gas ($3.459 a gallon) & propane ($3.199). We left I-81 then & took US-340 east towards Frederick, MD. We found a large parking lot by a closed business in Charles Town, WV where we could park & fix lunch. In Frederick we took US-15 north until it connected with US-30 north of Gettysburg, then US-30 to SR-74 near York, PA & then up here to Gifford Pinchot State Park. Gifford Pinchot is about 12 miles NNW of York, PA.


We're in site #244 & we have 50 amp service. We stopped at a water spigot (across from site #242) down the road to fill up our fresh water tank before going to our site. Site #244 is a back in with an asphalt drive & a gravel pad. We are able to get satellite TV, but it is a weak signal.
