Dutch Country RV Resort, Manheim PA

We had a very nice trip to our new campground, Dutch Country RV Resort.  Our route this time was interstate to the turnpike.  We have just about decided that we will have to travel this way up here in the North and use the car for those roads less traveled. It rained most of the trip, bad in places, but most of the way is was just steady.


Our site backed up to a wooded area.



 


Because of the woods, Big Bob is still struggling to get the tailgater satellite to work.  We have been in mountains too high and sites that were too wooded since we left to get service.  He has had numerous phone calls with the factory and they have even sent a new receiver but so far, no satellite.   We also replaced the antenna while we were here to get more channels.


The sleep number bed deflated last week, and we had to have a part for it over-nighted to us, but once the part arrived and we installed it, the bed is working like a charm.
The campground, another in the Thousand Trails collection, has the regular amenities for one of their resorts.

A Phone Booth  I didn’t quite understand this when I took the picture, but after a trip to Amish Country, we found out no telephones are not allowed in the house, but they can have a cell phone, if they do not bring it in the house, and go to one of these “phone booths” to use it.



  
We also found a real nice little market here run by the Amish with exceptional prices.  A gallon of purified water was $.49, subs that are as good as Publix for $2.99 and tins of smoked clams for $.99 ($2.25 at home) so Bib Bob got 18 of them for snacks– I think my ‘stocking up” philosophy is rubbing off on him!


This is the state where we must buy beer at the “State store” but the prices are good – 30 pack for $24.99, not as good as we found at the Kroger In GA for a 35 pack at the same price, but all much better than we are used to.


Our new friends at the American Legion recommended we get gas in VA, since it would be cheaper.  So glad we followed that advice. We paid $2.99 for diesel there and found it as high $2.69 in PA..Nice help to the budget.- we are heading into the "budget buster" part of the trip Now if we could just do something about our Harley Shirt habit.  We are finding them to be at least $10.00 more per shirt up here for branded shirts.


We were lucky enough to be able to meet for lunch with our snow bird riding buddy, Cappy, December Cappy!


Another great stay.  Only negative for the campground is no internet.  Hot spots are eating up my data, but we will have it at our next stop.
