MOBILE TENTAS! North American Tour 2022: DAY 83 : September 28/22 Wednesday. New Jersey to Cherry Hill Park, Maryland (quick zip in and out of Delaware!)

With the oil change finished by Joe, and 115184km on the odometer, we rolled out of there around 10:40am to make our way to the New Jersey Turnpike to head to Cherry Hill RV Park in Maryland. So many tolls again! oh man. $$$. At 11:15am we were on a bridge into Delaware ($12 toll) and another $4 into Maryland. I can't keep track of the routes we took (my notes are all scribbles at this point), but we did pass by the outskirts of Baltimore through another toll that was no cash / bill by mail...we shall see if an invoice shows up in Vancouver or not. Baltimore was where we passed through a very cool white tiled tunnel. It was something like you'd see in an action movie with an epic car chase scene.

Around 1pm we exited at 29B to the 212 West to Cherry Hill RV Park. Quite the operation! Super friendly and had a little package all made up for us with information about visiting DC, bus tours, etc. We met Bill at the security gate who was awesome. He advised us that Barbara would be at the flagpole at 4pm and could answer any questions we had about visiting Washington DC.

Site 135 at Cherry Hill.

After getting settled, we donned our swimsuits to walk the short walk down our "road" in the campground to the Cafe/Pool. Kids had a look at the games room (MariKart, Skeeball, pinball, fusball...) The outdoor pool was solar heated - not hot by any means, but very reasonable to swim in. We had a pretty big swim, with the pool all to ourselves! Sun was in and out between the clouds. We hopped in the hot tub after the swim then walked back to the rig after a quick shower.

After the swim Jonathan hustled over to the flagpole to catch Barbara (a character who's been working there for 30 years). The kids rode bikes with him, but stopped at the playground to hang out. I walked over and met Jonathan... no one else at the "sightseeing info session" so we had Barbara all to ourselves to ask questions and get the lowdown on DC and the transit system.

We walked back to the rig, and gave the kiddos the surprise we had bought them quite a few days ago at a Walmart stop. Some LED lights for their bunk. They were pretty tickled setting it up. It's like a disco in here now at night.

A couple just up the "road" from us had a very cool halloween display up beside their RV. One couple walking their dog by our Rig while we were eating our veggie burgers at the picnic table and mentioned it to us. We walked over after dinner to check it out. Super cool! popping out skeletons, cool graveyard set up, and in the back of their toy-hauler on their rig was a tableau with a witch and cauldron and skeletons. Very fun! Gave us some ideas for what we'd like to do when we decorate our RV for Halloween.
