Day 137 (Sep 30) – Hershey, PA


We have much shorter travel days in the east because everything is closer together.  Today we only drove an hour and a half, so we took our time leaving because check-in wasn’t till 3:00.  We have been staying at Homestead Campground in Green Lane, PA.  They have been so nice and over-the-top helpful.  We first paid for two nights and when we decided to stay two more, she told us to stay as long as we wanted and we’d settle up at the end.  This morning Brad went to pay, but the office was closed.  He called her to tell her we were leaving and she said don’t worry about it – it’s on them.  Brad said he would slide money under the door and she said no, just have a great trip.  How generous is that?  I think campgrounds appreciate good campers as much as we appreciate good campgrounds.

We got to our next campground, Red Run CG in New Holland, PA, a little after 1:00, but they let us check in early.  This is a nice campground surrounded by Amish and Mennonite farms, a creek and covered bridges.  As much as I loved our last hostess, we were right by the road (our choice) and heard traffic 24/7.  Now I just hear crickets and the clip clop of Amish buggy horses.  It makes me smile.
