Poconos Mountains

August 11, Monday: A good night sleep! Yea! Sobaka finally gonked out and slept all night. In fact, this morning you wouldn't even know he had not been feeling good yesterday. Sometimes it is not easy traveling with dogs but it would be too long to leave them.
We are staying in East Stroudsburg which is one of the towns considered part of the Poconos. Paul, our oldest son, and his wife, Michele honeymooned here. They have always said how beautiful it was. They are right. Don't tell them I said that! Larry was very happy traveling here because of all the old barns and country farms. We noticed on the roads that all the billboards are at least 200 to 300 yards off of the side of the road. Sometimes hard to find.

Had a little rain today but all in all a good day to travel. The weather is has been cooling off at night to the low 60s but high 70s during the day. Great Spring weather for Larry but since I am part reptile and don't warm up until the 80s, I have a different opinion.
This campground was a little aggravating to find by the directions in the book. Almost missed the turn onto the side road. Fancy driving by Larry...not easy with a 62ft rig. We asked the owner about better signage but he said the city would not allow it. Go Figure! Today we decided we were going to buy a GPS for the the coach. The CRV has one and it has come in hand many times. That is as long as you remember the address of your campground. Now I am not saying I have done this I am just pointing it out. The campground is literally in a huge forest. We are in a pull through that is about 100 ft. No other rigs are around us. Lots of extended summer camping. Since we are here during the week not very many weekenders are in their spots. Lots of 5th wheels. Can understand the draw since the grounds are about 2 hours from Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey.
Had a very quiet evening.
Good night!
