We left Clairsville at about 8:00 a.m. and headed east. Within three hours we had covered four states. We left Ohio, crossed the north-west corner of West Virginia, crossed the south-west part of Pennsylvania and dropped down into Maryland. Today was a 275 mile day with a lot of long, 6-8%, up and down grades.
We made a brief stop to purchase BBQ chicken and Ribs at the Orleans Volunteer Fire Department fund raiser. They do their BBQ 3-4 times a year during the summer. Good BBQ and it appeared it was well attended. Must be good, they had quite a facility and great equipment.
Once we got to Washington DC, we went to the Cherry Hill Park Campground in College Park, just west of DC. We checked in and got a spot near the back of the park. This is a large place with several pools, a restaurant, clubhouse, store and other facilities. The sites are pretty tight and nothing fancy. $52.00 a night less 10% for Good Sam, FMCA or AAA members. A little pricey but easy access to Metro for visiting DC.
Tomorrow we head off to see DC
