Summer 2015:
We had a busy summer this year, and, with any luck, will still get another trip or two in before the snow flies.
First was a week in a time share just East of Quebec City, then a week at a time share in the Berkshires, next a camping trip South to Wilmington NC, and finally a weekend trip with friends to Prince Edward County in Ontario Province. So here are a few shots taken at various places.
1.  Locust Lake
A nice little campground in Southern PA that we found. Just the right distance to stop at the end of our first day of driving. Not many photos here, but I can recommend it as a clean and pretty campground.









2. Peaks of Otter:
 Yep, really odd name. It's a federal campground in the Blue Ridge Mts, and well worth a visit. The campground is "primitive" so we were off power, but that is no problem. If you have had enough camping by the time you get to this one, there is a resort beside the small lake at the foot of the mountain. The campsites were clean, paved, and very pretty, and the bathrooms adequate. If you are into some strenuous hiking there is a good trail all the way up the peak, or if not, then there is a bus that takes you 3/4 of the way for $10 each. It is a spectacular ride, but not one for those who don't like  small winding roads. The views from the top are spectacular, even though it was very hazy the day that we were there.




















No, this last one by the bus is not us, just some other folks that we met along the way.
