It is too long of a drive to get to Mt Gilead, Ohio, where Gwen and Julie live in one day. Half way was in Clarington, PA where there was another Passport America campground, White's Haven.
It was a beautiful fall day, and the park was very well maintained.
The next day we toured the area. Nearby is Cook Forest, known for its "old growth".
And, The Pickle Barrel, a roadside general store.
We got a chuckle out of this sign in the store.
We got to Julie's the next day, only to learn that she and Tony had separated and would be filing for a divorce. Quite the shock, but it is what it is.
So, now Julie is the sole owner of the tin man Bob made for them. Julie has dubbed him Tin Diesel.
There is a large Amish community in this area. We stopped at one of the stores and stocked up on Amish foods, and at an Amish nursery we bought a variety of multi colored and shaped gourds and a dwarf red maple which Bob may try to make into a bonsai.
The last night there, we took the ladies out to a steak restaurant for dinner...Julie, Jodie (Tony's mom), and Gwen.
The drive home didn't start out well with a blustery rainstorm and backed up traffic on I-71 outside of Columbus. But once we got moving again, we didn't have any further problems and got home the following afternoon.
