Out in the Hills of Pennsylvania

Short ride today, 138 miles to a Passport America park along our route. No rain on todays ride but when we set up it poured for awhile. Lynda did some laundry here and its not a bad place. Full hookups with cable, thats good because the trees don't allow satellite. Stopped for fuel just a few miles before the exit as we wanted to do a last fill while its cheap which isnt the case in New York or Vermont. We should be able to make home and top off just before our house at a good price like here. Must admit the fuel cost has been great all the way, glad of that. We had a hard time at the Pilot/flyingJ where we filled though. The last one in Georgia was all set up for RVs and it was great along with their discount RV card. This one had no such RV place and we had to deal with trucker life which says you have to pay in advance a certain amount before pumping. Well I wanted to fill up and had no idea how much it would take so it took several up front payments and a refund to do that. Plus the big rigs line up at the pumps and the drivers just pull up a few feet after they have pumped and take a food, shower, rest room whatever break just leaving their rig parked in front of you blocking you in. We will call ahead next time to make sure they like RVs, not just Lorys.
When we got off the exit we passed a German resturant that served local Pennsylvania Dutch food. I was thrilled planning to come back in town and have dinner. We went down a country road a few miles and came to construction of an overpass. It had a light that let only one vehicle at a time go over a temporary bridge. Well the power's to be that made the holding area and the narrow bridge apparently didn't count on the Magic Bus pulling the little Honda. We stopped for the light and a pickup coming across barely skimmed by us. Lynda was white knuckled on the tight narrow overpass. We then got to the campsite which is on top of a few very steep hills that strained the ole Bus. But we finally made it and the site is very nice.
We left the park in the car and headed to town and the great dinner I expected. I read the reviews on my iPhone app Yelp and they were great for that local Dutch restaurant. We pulled in the parking lot and Lynda looked up at the sign in their window "Sorry Closed". Oh no, I went up to the door and sure enough closed Mondays and Tuesdays, darn now what. Of course I had an Ogee, (desire) now for that kind of food so back to Yelp. That took us over hill and dale, over eleven miles to Alexanders German Deli and Pub. In we go to an empty cold looking bar that had seen better days and a Chap sitting in a chair watching CNN. We sit at the empty bar and he takes our order for two Bratworsts, a bottle of German beer and a diet coke for me. Time crawled as we waited and waited for those sandwiches. Finally out they came on cheap hot dog rolls. Well turns out the meat was great, tossed most of the bread and we bought a frozen pound package to take with us then left.
A stop at a local Weiss supermarket in Kutzville for some things, a walk for Charlie and now its the end of the day. Tomorrow on to the Elks in Catskill New York.
