Indian Rock Campground

Indian Rock Campground

For our first official outing to a private campground, we chose a site within easy driving distance from our current location.  Indian Rock Campground is nestled between West York and Leaders Heights, conveniently located near Lake Redman, the Codorus Creek, and the York County Heritage Rail Trail.  After de-winterizing our water lines and sanitizing our fresh water tank, we fired up Cecil the RV and embarked on a short 15-mile drive along winding country roads on a sunny Wednesday afternoon….

As the last of the snow melted and the weather started to gradually warm again over the past couple of weeks, we finished clearing the final few things out of our apartment.  Before leaving Newark, we needed to pick up a couple of accessories the dealer ordered for us when we bought the RV.  (Which, incidentally, Ashley has decided to name “Cecil” – but I am open to other ideas.  Feel free to chime in with your thoughts in the…

Ashley and I spent the last four years in Newark DE, a small town probably best known as the home of the University of Delaware.  Newark’s population was estimated to be around 34,000 in 2015 with total enrollment at the university topping 23,000 in 2016.  So as you might imagine, the quirky, not-exactly-quiet town of Newark swells in population as the students return every semester.  Sometimes it’s hard to see Newark as anything other than a college town, with streets often…

Remember all that unseasonably warm weather we mentioned for our first two RV shows?  Well – not to jump too far ahead in the story, but – we bought an RV and this is what it looked like just a couple of days ago. Now back to the search.  This post isn’t chronological; not that it really matters to the story, but I thought I’d mention it anyway. We attended the York RV show with my (Nathan’s) parents because they…

The Harrisburg RV and Camping Show was the weekend after the Timonium show, so we decided to attend that as well.  Turns out the dealers offer “special” show pricing on new RVs, so we modified our mindset to potentially purchase a new RV for the right price.  This is, of course, mostly just another sales tactic and I’m sure you can haggle over the price of an RV any time of the year, but it is definitely convenient seeing the…

Quick Note – I changed our content management software after posting the first blog entry, which means any comments on the initial post have been lost.  Sorry about that, commenters, but switching to a new platform now was better than waiting another month or two.  I’m learning as I go! Turns out shopping for an RV is less about buying an RV, and more about finding interesting beers in the towns you’re visiting.  More on that a little later. Our…

Hello, and welcome to our first blog post!  Thanks for stopping by our site.  At this point you may be wondering why we even have a website, not to mention a blog on the site.  Well, for those of you who haven’t already heard, Ashley and I decided to take a grand leap of faith, purchase an RV, and travel the country for an undetermined amount of time.  Probably until we find a place we absolutely love, or until Ashley…
