Our last day at Vanderpool started off with a brisk walk in the park then back to camp to do laundry then a get together potluck dinner. We didn’t want to miss our photo opp with the new RV Strummers! (see pic). We sure are gonna miss everyone! We had a wonderful time – we want to give the C’ & R’s a special thank you!

John and Buddy mapped out our route to Warriors’ Path State Park (I think it was about 70+ miles down the road). The roads were looking good – until, the lady on the GPS said “Turn left on 67”. Ok, we did it, although we both had our doubts. She must have been getting her jollies for the day, because we started going down some narrow back road. We ended up in the center of a small town (I don’t recall the name). Buddy was trying to drive and read the map. She (the GPS lady) said “turn left”, and we did. Buddy looked at me and said “Is this a one-way street”? Sure enough the cars were parked on both sides of the road facing us – and low and behold here comes a truck our direction! The guy in the truck must have been use to seeing trucks pulling RV’s going the wrong direction all the time, because he slowed down before he got to the intersection so we were able to make it to the corner to make a right turn. After a few *&%$#@ Buddy was able to get us back on track! The A’s didn’t make the same mistake we made, but they did miss another turn and had to do a U’ie. We arrived at Warriors Path around 11:30 AM – it is a 1000 acre park with hiking/biking trails, fishing/boating, swimming and golfing. It has 94 sites which are filling up fast. Oh, I forgot, sometime happened during our trip here --- the TV slid forward and hit the slide (from the inside) and broke a window. It didn’t come out, it just shattered. Buddy taped it up and said we will fix it when we get home. We will figure out a better way to anchor the TV in the meantime. That’s it for now!
