We headed south again for our second Delaware Samboree. There were three Jersey Pioneers going as a group with another couple joining us at the site. We met the other two rigs at the Molly Pitcher rest area on the Turnpike and headed off to Harrington, DE. The trip was uneventful. Our sites were in a grove of trees with one oak about three feet from my windshield.
We left home knowing that we were going into the path of hurricane Hannah. She was coming up the Atlantic coast. The forcasts on tv showed its path coming directly over our area. I don't know about anyone else, but if it looked bad, I was prepared to pull up stakes and head west.
Thursday night we went over to the casino so I could make my required donation. We went back to our rigs for dinner. Last year, Joyce and I brought a lot of food and we ended going out every night. We didn't bring anything this year expecting to go out every night except the one night that the Samboree had a catered dinner. It was off to the restaurant down the road. We had eaten there last year and had enjoyed the food. The place went out of business. We took a ride looking for another place to eat without any luck. When you live in an area that has restaurants on almost every corner, this came as a shock. We ended up buying something at the Food Lion and taking it back to the rig.
Friday, we took a ride to the town of Milton. Fenton had a problem with a lockset on one of his doors and we went to an RV dealer and a hardware store trying to find a replacement.Later, we had a chapter meeting.
We had dinner at the casino with the group. We returned to the RV to make sure that everything was stowed before tomorrow's storm hit.
The storm didn't live up to the hype "they" gave it on the news and weather radio. One small branch fell about 20 yards from our rig. We did get a lot of pine needles on the roof. The seals around the windows held nicely.
Tonight was the samboree dinner and entertainment.
The trip home was uneventful.
