After about a roll of toilet paper, the bag was relatively clean so we pushed on to our campsite, Minutemen of MA Campgrounds (or something to that effect). This was by far the nicest campground we stayed at yet. If you're in the area, we suggest it if you are looking for a place to stay. Got a AAA discount at the main office, then headed down to unpack our things. Took a dip in the icy pool, bought some snacks at the front desk, ate our ridiculously huge dinner (it might have fed 10 people...so much food: giant loaf of bread, stick of butter, chicken chow mein, rice for 4, half gallon of milk, peaches and apples...and other things I can't remember), then read out on our therma-pads and ground tarp until the mosquitoes (pronounce this like Bear Grylls does) became unbearable. We headed up to the office, got the FREE internet for some e-mails, then watched Mission Impossible in the rec room. Great relaxing evening.
Almost forgot. We met our neighbor named Lance. From Austin, TX. No lie. He's a former US Air Force member who actually was stationed at Andrews Air Force Base for a bit, had buddies that attended UMCP, drove threw Hagerstown countless times (when he asked me where I was from, I just said western panhandle of MD, and he threw out H-town right away...what are the chances), and also went over the mountains in Alleghany county before Sidling Hill was blasted out. He attended U of TX back in the day, and was currently traveling around the New England states in his two-tone van (just like the Wigfields' old van) seeing historic sites. Great guy to chat with and got a picture with him like usual. Check out the gallery.
