Back at Thousand Trails - Hershey


After a week's stay in Intercourse, PA, we're back at the TT Hershey campground with a great site. We knew in advance the site was going to open the day we were scheduled to arrive. To get it we left the Beacon Hill Campground at 5:30 for the 36 mile trip. This put us first in line to enter the campground when it opened at 8:00. Immediately after registering, Audrey drove the Jeep to a spot across from the site and waited until it opened. She moved quickly to get into the site as there were 2 others (campers wanting a better site) heading toward the site.

After getting settled in and chatting with our new neighbors, off we went to ride our road bikes. Audrey really loves her new bike. Check it out in the picture. We intended to ride the rails/trails from Colebrook to Cornwall - a ride we've made with the mountain bikes. However, we found that the road bikes were not easily ridden on the trail. The surface is too uneven for a safe and comfortable ride. In the end I got off the trail and rode for about an hour on the roads while Audrey cut short her trail ride and headed back to the start point.

Today we'll be off to the Green Dragon (A huge farmers/flea market in Ephrata, PA. Later we'll head to Shirk's Bike Shop in East Earl to have some minor adjustments made on Audrey's bike.
