Arrived at the KOA at around 4 PM, after a long-ish drive that included some rain and some heavy traffic but was mostly okay. I knew it was going to be a long one after my detour to Charlottesville, but it went pretty smoothly.

This was one of my favorite campgrounds of the trip. Huge pull-through sites, most with full hook-ups, lots of trees, just a mile off the freeway. The camp store has a snack bar with hot food, groceries, and RV supplies, an ice cream shop, and all the usual KOA amenities.

The campground was along Swatara Creek, and it was lovely to be able to walk right next to it.

I used my trailer’s hot water for the first time on the trip — the weather had been so hot up until then that I never needed hot water. But it was finally cool enough that I wanted hot water for washing up. Was pleased to see that the hot water worked. I never did use the furnace, so had no idea about it, but the air conditioner got a good workout!

The next day I drove to my new home in New York! and my 17-day cross country move was over. It all went amazingly well, considering I’d never pulled a trailer before, and I was glad it had worked out so I could make my move on the road.
