TN6 Hop 5: Dumfries VA to Jonestown PA

Posted by on May 31, 2020

171 tow miles via VA 234, I-95, I-495 (around Washington DC), I-270, US 15, I-83 and I-81. 339 truck miles. Cumulative tow miles: 1,189. Cumulative truck miles: 1,560.

The additional truck miles resulted from 2 trips to the GMC dealer for repairs, some errands and a trip into Alexandria to have dinner (a very pleasant dinner) with family.

Once again, the trip was uneventful, except for the loss of our “Home is Where We Park It” sign that was Velcroed to the front of the RV. The Velcro held, but the block of wood glued to the RV let loose. I think I dropped it on an interstate. Hope it didn’t cause any problem.

It was a beautiful day. High in the low 70s, puffy clouds. A nice travel day. But a lot of traffic (it was Sunday) and, as always, the roads in PA were pretty rough.

Our home for 5 night in Dumfries was the Prince William Forest Campground. This is a very nice, very quiet park. The large back-in sites (there are no pull-thru sites large enough for us) are hard to get into due to the narrow roads, but are lovely, wooded sites. It even smells like forest.

We have stayed here, I believe, twice before. But I never realized that this campground has a swimming pool. It is closed due to the pandemic, but I will keep that in mind for a future visit.

2 more hops to go.
