June Campout with ODC, Gettysburg, Pa. 2012

The Big A Bus left Louisa, Va. on Thursday, June 21st heading to Gettysburg, Pa with the Old Dominion Cardinals Camping Chapter of Good Sams.  We met Mathenys, who also had our Madie with them, Tolsons and Simmons in Warrenton and began our caravan.  It was extremely hot but after all it is summertime.
We arrived around 3pm and got the rigs set up and then had a nice dinner of pork chops on the grill with vegetables and potatoes and sherbert for dessert.
Friday we enjoyed the pool and waited for the rest of our crew to arrive.   Saturday the ones who had motorcycles rode, others visited the Battlefield or the Museums.   It is a very humbling experience to see this place and no how many of our people were killed.
Sunday there was another motorcycle ride, actually a tour guide with them thru the park, and the rest of us met them for lunch downtown.  Monday we took a side trip to "The Sweetest Place on Earth", Hershey, Pa.    We toured Chocolate World and came home with lots of candy.  
We had a great time and arrived back home on Tuesday afternoon around 3 pm. 

Our next adventure is in July over to Misty Mountain Campground near Charlottesville.  Not sure what activities we will try to do then.   Madie might like to go to Jeffersons home at Monticello as she has not been there.  Last year we did the Pioneer Museum in Stauton, Va.
