BLACKWATER NWR.
Day 395 – We got a little behind with the blog; we’ve been busy. So I will try to be brief, which for me is nearly an impossibility, ho ho. Because there was a storm (Nicole) that was going to pass thru mostly during the day tomorrow, we decided to visit one of our favorite NWRs today while the weather was still good.

Day 394 – Cooler weather here, it reached 60 degrees during the day, low 40’s at night. The campground has been quiet so far, but it’s not the weekend yet. The girls watched us closely this morning to see if we were moving towards packing up. By the time we left for Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, a little before 10 a.m., they knew we were staying and were busily napping and dreaming.

From: Cunningham Falls State Park, Manor Area Campground, Thurmont, MD.
To: Trap Pond State Park, Laurel, Delaware (DE).
Day 393 – It was 42 degrees, sunny and breezy, when we got up around 7 a.m. this morning. We’re feeling back to normal, so no dilly-dallying around. We’ve got a drive to Delaware today.
TODAY WAS A REALLY NICE DAY.
Day 392 – We didn’t do much except spend lots of our time relaxing. Did some cooking and a little bit of catch-up with things, but really we just kicked back. The cats loved it because we were here with them AND not traveling. It was sunny and breezy. The humidity had lifted. And it was beautiful out with the colorful leaves floating down from the trees. Winter is coming, and that has its own charm. But today was really nice. We hope your day was nice, too!

From: Chestnut Ridge Regional Park, Bruceton Mills, WV.
To: Cunningham Falls State Park, Manor Area Campground, Thurmont, Maryland (MD).
Day 391 – We both feel much better today. We still relaxed in the morning and took advantage of the extra hour from Daylight Savings. It rained some during the night. The woman from the trailer next to us that was talking non-stop last night when we went to bed was still talking non-stop this morning when we got up. LOL. It was two families that had gotten together for a visit. It must’ve been a LONG time since she had anyone to talk to! Ho ho.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TED C.! WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY. WE’LL TOAST TO YOU WHEN WE GET BACK (LOOKING FORWARD TO IT).
TRAVEL DAY
From: Forked Run State Park, Reedsville, OH.
To: Chestnut Ridge Regional Park, Bruceton Mills, West Virginia (WV).
Day 390 – It was warm and humid when we got up this morning. We are feeling better, not 100%, but less tired. Maybe today we’ll get hungry and eat some regular food. Today we cross into the hills of West Virginia. We took our time packing up again this morning.
TRAVEL DAY
From: East Fork State Park, Bethel/Batavia, Ohio (OH).
To: Forked Run State Park, Reedsville, OH.
Day 389 – We woke up this morning feeling a lot better than yesterday, but still extremely tired. We’d gotten so much sleep in the last 36 hours, and we’d been able to keep stuff in our stomachs (although we still were not the least bit hungry). We very slowly moved towards leaving this campground, figuring it’s the weekend and if we didn’t keep these revised reservations, new ones would probably not be available.
CH..CH..CH..CHANGES!
Day 388 – We had made all of our reservations several weeks ago. Today we were supposed to drive to Forked Run State Park in Reedsville, OH, stay their one night and drive to West Virginia for Friday and Saturday. We’d planned to leave here tomorrow morning around 10 a.m. So much for best laid plans.

Day 387 – It was 49 degrees and cloudy when we got up at 8 a.m. Today we traveled south from Indiana back into Kentucky, then northeast into Ohio. It was very cloudy and sometimes foggy for most of the day. The high today reached 63 degrees.
DOGS, FRANKFORT, & MEXICAN FOOD.
Day 386 – It was overcast today, but it had quit raining. The high temperature at 72 degrees was perfect. This morning we went by the post office in Charlestown to mail a package and then drove over to Louisville.
