Biking the Great Allegheny Passage with our friends

Planned almost a year ago when we were with our RV friends, the Zamostnys at Death Valley NP....(Although we didn't plan to meet them with our new motorhome.)  Well, we pulled into Ohiopyle State Park and setup for 5 days of biking on the GAP.

Unfortunately, rain was in the forecast for our entire time, but we were able to get in pedal time between rain drops.  With a lot of shuttling help from our friends, we biked portions of the GAP.  What a well maintained trail, even with all of the rain.  We biked through forests, across rivers, and even through an old restored rail tunnel.

We will have to come back to the GAP and finish the trail.  Too nice not to!

Back to Hershey for a real sweet treat

We decided to head back to Hershey, PA to walk the biggest RV show in America.  Just finished maintenance on our current motorhome with new tires,  starter battery, etc so it would be ready for our Fall and Winter trips.  So, no chance that we would do more than just check out all of the new RVs.....

Well, we saw one that we really liked, got a good deal including a good trade-in....and we bought it!

Big features include a second queen bed when the sofa is opened up, and a full size loft bed.  Then there is the nicer décor, the full size queen in the bedroom, and more storage everywhere.  Also, Morey likes the updated electronics including an inverter, LED lights, and the generator transfer switch. 

Swapping motorhomes on Thursday, and ready to road test with our first camping adventure to western Pennsylvania.

Parked at Dan, Liz, Jack & Logan's new home for September

Major construction is happening big time at their newly purchased circa 1900 four-square house.  Very proud of how Dan & Liz have managed this major project.  The remodel has included a new kitchen, laundry room, 1/2 bath, and hair salon...and much, much more.

With temperatures in the mid 90s all week, it is great that their new HVAC system is functioning so well.  Our extension cord which we were using to "hook up" to Danny's shed (aka Brew Barn) started to melt -- as our motorhome's air conditioner was trying to keep up with the heat.  Looks like a job for me, to upgrade to a 20amp cord.

Summer's Over.........

Summer of 2016 is now history....some great memories.

We love having all of our visitors, particularly our grandkids.  Thought we'd share a couple of classic pictures of our great times at the Jersey Shore.

Also took a RV trip to Hershey Park, our third in three years.  Did we wear out the tracks on the Super Dooper Looper??

  And with all of this happening, Dan & Liz moved to their new house, built in 1900.  They spent the summer gutting the entire downstairs plus the bath upstairs.  Hope to have it all put back together by mid-September.  Quite a project!  And all going to plan.
