The Velcro held, but the block of wood glued to the RV let loose.  I think I dropped it on an interstate.  Hope it didn&#8217;t cause any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a beautiful day.  High in the low 70s, puffy clouds.  A nice travel day.  But a lot of traffic (it was Sunday) and, as always, the roads in PA were pretty rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our home for 5 night in Dumfries was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princewilliamforestrvcampground.com\">Prince William Forest Campground<\/a>.  This is a very nice, very quiet park.  The large back-in sites (there are no pull-thru sites large enough for us) are hard to get into due to the narrow roads, but are lovely, wooded sites.  It even smells like forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have stayed here, I believe, twice before.  But I never realized that this campground has a swimming pool.  It is closed due to the pandemic, but I will keep that in mind for a future visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 more hops to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>171 tow miles via VA 234, I-95, I-495 (around Washington DC), I-270, US 15, I-83 and I-81. 339 truck miles.
