TTS Hop 3<\/p><\/div>\n

222 miles via US 209, PA 33, US 22, US 222, US 30, I-83, I-695 (around Baltimore), I-95 and MD 212. Cumulative tow miles: 680.<\/p>\n

This was almost a reverse of the hop last spring, with a few minor differences. The biggest difference is that we decided to travel US 30 to its connection with I-83 rather than taking the shortcut. We regretted the decision as it not only added about 5 miles to the trip but also got us stuck in about a mile-and-a-half of very heavy traffic. We will take the shortcut next time.<\/p>\n

This hop, though the best of the options (the other routes all involve tolls and city traffic), is not fun. It lacks any rest stops (I ate lunch while driving). We did, finally, make a rest stop about 25 miles short of our destination, to relieve Jett’s bladder. But other than the lack of places to take a break, it was an uneventful trip over roads that are generally in pretty good shape. But there were a few rough patches – enough to knock the broiler oven off its shelf in the closet.<\/p>\n

I don’t have anything more to say about the Delaware Water Gap \/ Pocono Mountain KOA<\/a>. It is a very nice campground that is in the perfect location for us for an overnight stop between Boston and DC. I am sure there are many recreational activities (and bears) in the area, so it might be a good choice for someone who would like to stay and explore a bit.<\/p>\n

Our destination for 5 nights is the Cherry Hill Park<\/a> campground. We stayed here on our way north last spring and it now is firmly established in our “best ever” campground list. We love this place! It is expensive (over $70 per night for a premium site), but it has many amenities and is close to everything. Jett’s sons and grandson will be visiting, so we will have a chance to catch up with family. Should be a fun five days.<\/p>\n

If Jett stays healthy. She has sniffles this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
