Trip to Bolerama and Takoma Park, Day 10

Friday, July 14, 2023 - LeHigh Gorge Campground, 225.1 Miles, 835.7 Miles For The Trip

We left Cherry Hill on time, hit a few traffic slowdowns, bypassed one of them, and arrived at LeHigh Gorge around 3:00. We are in sites 5 & 6 (me in 6) pull through full hookup sites on gravel for $60.00 per night. I'm using the campground WiFi (although there is an AT&T signal) since it is fast (83Mbps down & 11Mbps up). After hooking up the utilities, I fired up the AC to cool down the trailer from the 85°F it reached during the drive here. While warm outside, it is far cooler than yesterday's 95°F at Cherry Hill. The predictions for tonight is down to the 60's, so sleeping might be comfortable & quiet!

By the way, while Cherry Hill has the best showers of the trip, it isn't perfect. Lots of road noise, both day & night, and the flight path of a small airport goes over the campground. Still, for a campground in the middle of a DC suburb, it is surprisingly comfortable. While there are not any trees or other screening shrubs between sites, there is a good batch of them between rows, making it feel more like a state park than a commercial campground.

We were sitting outside of my trailer planning dinner, but what started out was a few drops of "is that rain?" turned into a thunderstorm. We are now back in our trailers. 

The plan for dinner is hamburgers since the tomato I bought the other day is just hanging in there. The heat has been rough of some supplies - we discovered that almost all our rolls are moldy, even an unopened package. 

Still not sure what is going to be for dinner. The rain (and lightning) keeps stopping, then starting, but with breaks too short to set up a grill & cook. It might be leftovers....

So the rain started up in earnest, so at least for me, dinner will be a Saffron Road Chicken Biryani microwaved bowl.
