Oh, The Best Laid Plans

August 1, Friday: Larry figured it would take us about 1 1/2 hours to go 90 miles up the peninsula into Maryland. First error of the day. Only Highway is Hwy 13 which goes through all the towns. Signal lights, stop signs, and 30 mph speed limits. After 4 hours and 120 miles, we stopped for lunch about 30 miles into Maryland. Back on the road again up to Queenstown onto Hwy 50 across the bridge towards Annapolis area. We got it made now. We are cruising like we know what we are doing. Arrived at the campgrounds in Millervilles about 3:30 pm not bad. Checked in. Drove to the site........NO WAY we are fitting in this site. Jo drove back to the office to explain. They gave us another site. Jo says NO WAY.........Larry says he thinks so. Another "discussion". Larry gets into the space but is hanging over both ways and cannot level the rig. Jo back to the office and brings back one of the hosts. He could not believe Larry was even able to back the 40 ft rig into the spot let alone try and balance it. It had several trees and very uneven. NOT GOOD!!!!! After some discussion about the 800 number for KOA it was determined they could not accommodate us. So I called Cherry Hill to see if they had room. We had reservations at Cherry Hill for Sunday through Tuesday. Surprise!!!! they could take us poor homeless people. Of course, did I mention it was Friday heading on 495 beltway around Washington DC?? By the time Larry re-hooked the car, took dogs for potty break, and listened to my comments on life it was about 5:15pm. Do I hear commute traffic???? Need I mention we are 62 ft in length??? We had 21 miles to go and actually had no more problems!!!
We were set up by 6:30pm. Very surprised because when we were here 3 years ago it was very crowded. This year lots of empty sites.
Nice evening!
Good Night!
