On the Road with Dave and Pat: Lots of events have come and gone!

We prepped to head north and writing our Blog unintentionally took a back seat, and we have a great deal to catch up with. We spent a few days getting the camper packed and the house ready for some downtime. Now to play "catch up!"
Lets start out with a tease...

We had to have a taste of something very familiar before we headed out!
What would you expect from the Wave!

For the next couple of days we were on the road.

Our new (to us) camper took us more than a couple of nights and many miles to adjust to the differences between our Journey and the Access.

The Access drove well. The mileage is less than the diesel but we expected that. We averaged one or two miles per gallon less than the diesel. In all, the things we enjoyed are all the newer amenities that our "Old Friend" didn't have, like pull down shades, quieter A/C and furnace. Yes, we did need the heat a couple of mornings!

Our first destination is Ronks, PA and the "rustic" Roamers' Retreat Campground.

"Little" Buzz and Darlene stayed in our camper for the ten day visit to Amish country.

Actually, our stay was organized by Bill and Fran who happens to live in the area. Thirty-two of us from the Encore Lake Magic Resort got together for a week of fun, food (and lots of it) and sight-seeing.

Here's a look around town...

We enjoyed feeding the fish and trying NOT to feed the ducks!

Buzz and I found out that the property adjacent to the campground is owned by a John Deere club and the weekend before the rest of our group was due in they were holding a "Rough and Tumble" tractor event. So we donned our farmer's hats and meandered on over.
