200 miles via PA 116, US 30, US 15, I-83, I-81, I-78, PA 33, US 22 and US 209. Truck miles: 212. Cumulative tow miles: 1436. Cumulative truck miles: 1621.

Another rainy day, but at least it became less rainy as the day went on. Gettysburg was at the northern edge of a flood zone, so we got out of there just in time.

The route was complicated (as Jett noted about a dozen times as she tried, without success, to reconcile the printed map with the GPS directions) but we managed to navigate it without getting lost. Most of the route was highway that we have traveled before. As always, the Pennsylvania roads were narrow, crowded and in poor repair. Not my favorite state for travel.

Our home for the evening was the River Beach Campsites which is, first and foremost, a base for canoe and kayak excursions down the Delaware River, and is only secondarily an RV campground. We stayed here at least once before and I had some positive memories of the place, though its primary attraction is its location: on the Delaware River, near an entrance to I-84, within one tank of Boston. Well, I rescind those positive memories. There is just nothing to recommend this place. The sites are uneven and, after a rainy week, very muddy. There is no cable TV and absolutely no over-the-air TV. There is spotty Verizon service, no sewer hookups, no garbage collection, no recycling. That it is conveniently located is not sufficient.

I need to find a better option.
