Hanging out here at the club, just taking it easy

Where are we today ?

     A mild night and a great sleep here in the forest, So dark and so quiet.
     Up at 4:30 this morning and it was 53f outside. I had to look outside to actually see where we were, LOL, sometimes that happens.
      Did get my first walkabout at 7:30 and felt wonderful. Exploring a new place again. enjoying the sunrise and fresh morning air.
nice sunrise through the trees
      Soon back home to us in the forest.
I took another walkabout down a nice trail 
    Then Suzie and I did tour around this campground to check it out . Down by the beach, pool and Marina as nice as it may, be it seems tired. But heck we have full hookups and no overnight fees. we like free camping wherever we go. This palace would be hopping in the summer but off season now not so much.
this beach would be nice in the summer
the marina quiet too
nice views across the lake
left over Halloween decorations
    Then we checked out the clubhouse was busy yesterday , today a ghost town. The season is over here.
they do have a very nice clubhouse though
this hot tub would be nice, but closed for the season 
    Even the restaurant and bar looks nice bit only open wednesday and friday , we missed it.
       Then another wlakabout after lunch . some nice trails here to explore.
    Then I checked out the fun centre and bowling alley . Everything you could want here , with games and spend money if you wish.
    Then the bowling alley looks nice as well , we don't do 10 pin but would have been fun.
     Back home to relax and enjoy our e-readers for a while in the  shade. 65 F but was cool. So we moved a few sites down and found a sunny spot.
chilly here on the shade
    Then the sunny  spot was nicer.
thuis was better
    Then at 3 pm our neighbours  pulled out of the perfect site. I checked with the office and yes we can move to that site ! Only 4 down from us.  Ok in no time we secured the coach moved over there. (total 30 minutes to pack up move and set up) Had sunshine and warmth . plus a good view for our satellite dish.
now this is much nicer, out of the forest and some warm
sunshine bonus we can get our satellite dish as well
My son Ken made this hot sauce, loving it
   For supper tonight a pork Tenderloin on the grill mat, quick and easy about 15 minutes  internal temp 145f.
in no time this was done to perfection
added to our salad, apple sauce and Ken's hot sauce
was wonderful
     Just another fun day here doing what we enjoy, relaxing and enjoying some very nice warm weather.
       Thanks again for dropping by and hope you had a great day as well wherever you may be.

Hey That's us !
      Not a bad night at all 42F at 5 am and warming up slowly. No rush today just going to stop at a Flying J this afternoon. I did enjoy a nice walkabout the campground for a couple of miles enjoying the fresh air and scenery. Had another coffee, stored  our satellite dish and hooked up the car. We ready to go.
She has been waiting a long time
for Halloween
lots of nice cabins here 
General lee's Cabin
         We left the campground about 10:15 and stopped in Maryland to add a bit of gas to our coach so we could make it to the Flying J. Pennsylvania was $2.99 a gallon. Maryland $2;85 and the Flying J $2; 40. A no brainer will fill up here and stop for the night and enjoy free parking as well. Added 60 gallons of gas and saved $32.40 a vey nice savings, help pay for our repair yesterday.
      Through Maryland. North Virginia the into Virginia, Managed to by pass Washington DC no problem , clear sailing all the way just a bit of slow down around Frederickburg, Stopped at a couple of rest areas to stretch and make lunch enjoying the liesurely pace.
we by passed these n problem
glad we are heading south instead of north
nice travelling along here
Base Quantico? FBI headquarters? 
a bit of slow down but sitting high in the coach
we can see what is going on
        Arrived at the Flying J fuelled up and parked just after 3 pm. Relax a bit, do some reading after a few walkabouts, happy hour and then whip up supper. It is raining but we cozy inside.
We are secure here now
spotted this boat at the pumps, 3 massive outboard
motors on the back, that sure would be quick !
heating our English Muffin on our Blue Flame 
      Supper tonight a very tasty one. Our Canadian Peameal bacon on an English muffin, with egg cheese and tomato for me. Added a few potato chips and this did the trick today.
quick and easy a nice treat
that was it for our day
       Still pouring down rain. and this posting is pretty well done. So time to get my Kobo going and back into some Jack Reacher escapades. Maybe even watch a bit of TV later on. We have 35 local channels on our antenna so will enjoy something I am sure.
     Thanks for checking us out and hope y'all had a wonderful day.
148 miles today.
