Pohick Bay Trip, Day 7

 Locust Lake State Park, Barnesville, PA - Friday, July 2, 230.8 miles, 681.7 Miles For the Trip

Anne & Guido in Site 85

Me in Site 84

Lots of rain overnight, some heavy.  It did cool off, reaching 72°F by morning.   Around 4:00AM I shut off the AC for the first time while at Pohick Bay.

We packed up the trailers in a drizzle, dumped the tanks, and headed out around 10:30.  We decided to avoid the interstates, hoping for less traffic (didn't happen) and for better scenery.  Heavy rain at times.  I really felt bad for the guy on the motorcycle in front of us during the heavy outbursts.  He finally gave up & headed for an exit. Saw one head on accident that was causing one of the back ups, but the rest were for no apparent reason.  With the rain & heavy traffic if felt like much more than 230 miles. Lots of stop & go & 25MPH driving even on the 4 lane roads.

We arrived at Locust Lake State Park around 5:00.  It took a bit to wedge myself into my site (#84).  Both of our sites were reasonably level side to side, and a bit sloped front to back.  By backing within 1' of the tree behind my trailer I was able to leave the truck hooked.  The site is electric only, with the garbage dumpsters miles away, and the bathrooms almost as far.  $45.50 including a $6.50 transaction fee.

We were all a bit tired from the drive in the rain and heavy traffic so after setting up the trailers we immediately started dinner.  It is actually cool here - we all put on long sleeved shirts.  At 68°F it probably shouldn't feel cold but after a week of 95°F plus, it did.  

Dinner was grilled planked salmon & creamed spinach with Tillamook ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

Until Tomorrow -
