Earle NWS, NJ

Monday, Sept 26

Travel day.  With only about 118 miles to go, we were not in a big hurry.  We couldn't arrive at our next stop until after 11:00 am.  In fact, it was almost that when we left Intercourse!  This campground is a little tight so we were hoping that some of the people would be out site-seeing before we left.  Nope, in fact some guests pulled in and made it even harder to maneuver.  Luckily they noticed we were packing up and said to just let them know when we were leaving and they would move.  We had already decided to pull across the road to a large parking lot to hook up the car instead of doing that in the campground. 

The drive was uneventful.  We did wind up on the Pennsylvania Turnpike for a bit.  We normally don't use toll roads but it was either do that or add about 30 miles to the trip.  I think it was worth the $11 we spent.  It was also one of the smoothest roads we have been on in a long time. 

We are now parked at Earle Naval Weapons Station just outside of Colts Neck, New Jersey.  It is a very small base without many of the things we like on a base.  No commissary and the PX is really just a shopette and uniform shop.  Oh well, the sites are cheap.  Once we arrived here I decided to do the laundry.  This is one of the more expensive base laundries I have come across.  At least it is done but I will probably do whatever there is on Sunday, just to get it out of the way. 

Now we have to plan what we are going to do for the next week.  I suspect it is not a lot.  Let you know later.  Bye.
