It took 7 1/2 hours but we are settled in at the Allentown KOA. The campground is beautiful - tucked into a wooded valley with a stream running thru the campground. They have 76 sites and about a dozen cabins. The owners are very nice. There are five couples that worked here all summer and are leaving Thursday. They all said this was a great place to work camp. We will be working 15 hours a week each, and spending a lot of time relaxing and exploring the area. Hope to take the train into New York City in a couple of weeks and possibly get to Philadelphia.
We would love to have some company, so if any of you want to wander on over, check out the Allentown KOA and give us a call.
One note - unfortunately our cell phones do not work in the campgound. Can you believe it - we just switched from ATT to verizon and guess which one doesn't work here. If you call, just leave us a message and we'll get back to you or you can pm us too.
Well Ralph and the dogs are in bed already and since we have to report in tomorrow AM, I will say "Good Night to all our Ohio Rally Camping Buddies! Betsy

How very cool!!!
DITTO! Do they (the owners) know what they are in for??? Just curious but who in the world did you use for references??? I mean, c'mon, no one called me!!!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.....
Now we know why they call this work camping !!!!! I spent the day cleaning restrooms and scrubing mold off the ceilings while Ralph weed wacked and got the low down on all the outdoor work. He gets to drive the golf cart - I have to walk! I need to check the restrooms one more time around 7:00 PM and then done for the day. Tomrrow more of the same, plus I need to clean a cabin and tidy up the lodge. Really it's not that hard and we only work a couple of hours a day. We are staying in tonite with a trip in town tommorrow. Town here is only 7 miles away. Compared to Smithfield, we are in living in a sprawling metropolis. Gotta go - Betsy

Is it just me, or does this guy like his football way too much??? If you notice, the large dish is way bigger than the Datastorm dish it is next to and a Datastorm dish is really big by itself. This thing must be about 9 feet diameter. What the heck kinda signals does it get??? Oh, and notice he has his batwing antenna up too! Yikes!
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history.........
