A quiet night at this Walmart and we sure did get a wonderful sleep. Sleeped in again until 6 am , amazing! Got the coffees consumed and some computing done then a walkabout the parking lot and the Walmart. Got myself self a new pair of Levi's in the size and style I wanted. Bonus here no sales tax! Yahoo....

| even Walmarts have nice sunrises |
No rush again today only 113 miles to Gettysburg Pennsylvania . A very nice drive through the Mountains here and most of it beside the rivers, Loving the scenery . Hit the road just after 9 am. Very little traffic all day.
When we got to Harrisburg PA we missed a turn , oops. No problem now we get a a scenic tour of some downtown Harrisburg that we would have missed. We are never lost just sometimes take a scenic route.
 |
Glad we missed our turn or
we would have missed this |
Arrived at
Gettysburg Battlefield Resort about 11;30 am , and got set up on a nice pull through site, full hookups, free wifi, 50 amp as well. And no overnight fees. Part of our Membership at Rock Glen Resorts and Resort Of Distinction . This is huge very nice campground and right in a location that we want to be.

The information lady we had way so helpful , the tours and things we can do here is amazing ! We can spend a lot of money or very little, Narrated tours are nice, expensive but with my hearing loss could be a waste of money. So we loaded up with choices and headed back home to relax and decide what we will do, on the wonderful sunny 67F day. This sure beats the weather we left a couple of days ago, It will get cooler here too but we will enjoy this sunshine while we can.

| Our afternoon views reading in the warm sunshine |
Soon time for supper and tonight we decided we could use up some more of our leftover chicken . So chicken Quesadillas done on the grill mat on our Weber Q. loaded with chicken, onions, Mushrooms and cheese, they do cook up nicely on our grill.
 |
| ready to top it |
 |
| done perfcetly |
 |
This hit the spot with the rest of the
Amish Potato Salad we got yesterday |
That was our fun day moving on down the road, seeing new places and new faces, Exploring some places that we have never been before. This is what our life is all about.
Finally inside by 7 pm 57 f outside and no more sunshine, Time to relax inside for a while. And get ready for exploring tomorrow.
Thank y' all for dropping on by and hope you had a wonderful day as well.

| only 113 miles today a very nice drive |

Where have we been this Winter?
Nice to see you're on your way again, with clear sailing so far. Hope you have a real good winter! Gord.
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys sure feels good to be out and about seeing new sights.
DeleteWe took a horseback ride through the battlefield. You wore headphones which told the story.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun but headphone font's work with my hearing aides, think we may do a self guided tour.
DeleteHow do you flip the quesadilla with out getting it all over the grill?
ReplyDeleteVery Carefully!
DeleteWith the top on it squish down until the cheese melts and I use 2 spatulas to fill it quickly, works wonderful for me.
Lots of history on display at Gettysburg and great weather to enjoy it. Looking forward to your answer to Flowergirl :) I cheat and fold the tortilla in half with all the fillings inside, thus there is a solid side to work with when it comes to flipping.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of history here and we will attempt to absorb some of it. I have folded them in half as well but this worked pretty good for me.
DeleteSo much to see in PA. they have such beautiful country sides to see. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful country to explore , we are enjoying it very much.
DeleteGettysburg is on our list of places to visit!! Enjoy your visit there, and i look forward to hearing about it.
ReplyDeleteLove that Corvair. Reminds me of one my
former father-in-law had,same color and a convertible. My daughter loved riding around with him in it.
I hope the nice weather stays with you as you travel south.
So much to see and do here it is hard to decide, Sure could spend a lot of time here.
DeleteMy uncle had a similar Corvair convertible that I loved , it was so much fun to drive.
Love the part of PA your in. Normally follow the route you took along the Susquehanna when I head north. It avoids the potholes of I81 and is much more scenic and no traffic. Be interesting to see your route from Gettysburg. Enjoy Gettysburg.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter is was a very scenic route we enjoyed and not much traffic. we plan to leave here on Friday so we will see.
DeleteWe enjoyed Gettysburg too.
ReplyDeleteQuesidilla looked good! Oh and that is a very nice looking park.
Have fun.
We are enjoying it as well, and the park is very nice.
DeleteThe Quesadilla sure hot the spot too.
I absolutely loved the Gettysburg Museum. I even took a tour with a guide through the surrounding fields. An amazing somber place.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is an interesting place to visit and so much History right here.
DeleteGood to learn where ROD parks are. One day our route will take us through Gettysburg as well and we'll be sure to stop!
ReplyDeleteQuesadilla looks good. Never tried them on the grill but I would fold mine too, lose too much good stuff otherwise. Not an expert 'flipper'. haha
Lots of great memberships still to visit when we travel different areas.
DeleteI did not loose any stuff when I turned mine over, practice helps I guess.
Love the Gettysburg area! We have done the self guided tour with our car and we've done the bus tour which is expensive but can be worth it if you absorb all the history they teach. I'm afraid my mind doesn't anymore, so I'm good with the drive. haha. There is actually a good brewery called Battlefield Brew Works, great beer and great food, if you decide to splurge. :) Great looking quesadilla !!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, we are doing the driving tour and loving it. The narrated tour not so great for me cause I won't hear much anyway.
DeleteWill keep that brewery in mind thanks for the tip.
It was very tasty thanks.
You must be heading to Mexico soon or is this part of the heading south route?
ReplyDeleteWe will visit Mexico from California for a bit when we get , just moving along seeing new places as we got
DeleteGeorge and Suzi,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Pennsylvania!
If you get a chance, go to General Pickett’s Buffet on Steinwehr Ave in Downtown Gettysburg.
Good old fashioned Amish comfort food with a good carving station and lots of desserts!
Gettysburg is an awesome place! Enjoy!
I am following your trek south and enjoying all the updates.
Stay safe.....Karen
Thank Karen we were thinking about going there if we hav time this trip , Tanks for the tip Karen.,
DeleteWe took that road to Harrisburg, but then angled southwest toward the Smokies.
ReplyDelete
DeleteIt is all wonderful countryside to explore we are loving it.
Never been to Gettysburg and it's still on my bucket list.
