This year’s unbutton your rig rally was held once again at Pine Hill Campground in Kutztown PA. I drove up on Friday morning without any trouble. When I arrived I found that my site was on the end closest to the entrance. One of the first things anyone driving into the campground would see was my shiny Airstream.
Not long after parking and setting up I found friends at the camp fire.
That night the temperatures fell to the low 40’s. But, I had an electric heater and a down comforter to keep me warm.
The next morning I made my coffee and had some breakfast. I can’t describe how satisfying it is to roll right out of bed and use that old stove that I spent so much time refurbishing.
After breakfast I went for a bike ride on the Lehigh canal from Northampton and Bowmanstown, north of Bethlehem. The trail is very well maintained along that stretch. It was a little chilly and grey that day, but it didn’t rain and the ride was a real pleasure.
Along the trail a “graveyard” theme emerged. Here is a graveyard for Cessna airplanes. Old fuselages were lined up for 1/4 mile along the edge of the local air field.
And then there was the graveyard for old Willy’s in Bowmanstown.
And then I came across a few skeletons riding bikes.
But not everything was macabre. There were also some nice views along the way.
Back at the campground I had to start preparing my contribution to the potluck dinner. How do crockpot enchiladas sound? They actually turned out pretty good.
On the final day I had a nice lunch with good friends at the Krumsville Inn, a local roadhouse. And then it was time to pack up and drive home through light rain.
Until next time …
