226 miles via I-495 (east of Washington DC), I-95, I-295 (east of Richmond), I-64, I-664 (west of Norfolk) and US 17. 412 truck miles. 774 cumulative tow miles. 979 cumulative truck mile. Most of the extra truck miles were due to two trips from College Park to Alexandria, to attend family events.
Again (and, again, knock on wood), no truck problem. It was the longest hop so far – just over 4 hours. The last hop will be a similar length.
This route was almost entirely on interstate highway. There were two interruption to what would otherwise have been a non-stop trip: (1) we had to take a brief detour in Alexandria to drop off the swimming gear that the grandson left in our RV on Sunday and (2) a stop before the tunnel on I-664 to confirm that our propane tanks were turned off (a first in our travels).
The weather during our 4 days at Cherry Hill Park was far from perfect, but it was certainly warm. Jett’s sons and grandson came up Thursday night to visit us and we returned the favor on Saturday to attend a family dinner (great Chinese food!). On Sunday I traveled to Woodbridge to watch the grandson play a double-header (one win, one tie) and then the sons and grandson came to MD again, to let the kid take a dip in the pool and to say goodbye. They could have saved the goodbyes as we had to drop the swimming gear off on Monday, which gave them yet another chance to say goodbye.
Friday was a day of rest.
I have reviewed Cherry Hill Park before and it is the same as always (though with facilities limited due to COVID-19): beautiful, efficient and expensive. It certainly still hold a place in our Top 10 Campgrounds list.
