It is a beautiful day here in Gettysburg Pennsylvania … 72 degrees, blue skies with white cotton- ball clouds and a gentle breeze! The humidity (so far) is only 68, on the high end of “normal” and slowly dropping so it is tolerable. I found a “compact” dehumidifier at the RVer’s favorite store, “Wal*Mart” but so far the machine hasn’t found much moisture inside our coach. It’s probably the power of suggestion but I FEEL more comfortable since I turned it on. Whatever works-that’s my motto!
We lost our satellite connection yesterday afternoon and it didn’t reconnect until I was getting ready for bed last night. Phil tried everything he knew how to do in order to reconnect several times but finally gave up … then, without any prompting from us, it came back by itself. My theory is that the problem was on the satellite end rather than our end but we really don’t know for sure. All we do know is that when it goes away … we miss it!
Gloria and Les are camped near Hershey PA (a free park for them) so they haven’t had Internet (at least not from our router) since we left our last park. Ardella and Don along with Phil and I are here in Gettysburg at one of our Passport America Parks (half price for six of our ten days) about 50 miles south. It was the closest park (with any kind of a price break) we could find near Hershey. Interestingly, this park, (Artillery Ridge Camping Resort) has campsites for people with horses and many sites have a corral. I love being around horses but so far, the campground is far from fully occupied and the corrals around us are empty.
We would like to find a repairman for our satellite TV (it stopped working for whatever reason … just another hitch in our gitalong) while we’re here and Ardella wants to have their satellite TV hooked up if we can find someone qualified and willing to work on it. Our best bet would be a big RV service center so we’ll do some searching today.
My last visit to Gettysburg was more than 20 years ago and I am impressed with the continued restoration of this charming, historical village (population about 7,500); the abundant and renovated, battle scarred, points of interest; the new museums as well as the variety of battlefield tours available. The four of us are looking forward to taking advantage of the National Park Service's fully narrated, air-conditioned bus tour (two hours) along the 23 miles of road inside the park as well as a full day ("deluxe") bus tour to Washington DC sometime this week.
