Delaware in the crosshairs

Day 255
Washington DC- Felton DE

Another day of moving across the country. We pack up slowly and roll out of D.C. after rush hour is over. No more having to worry about someone breaking into the RV or stray gunfire coming through the sides. Yes, those are legitimate concerns near metro area of D.C. We'll head east and spend the next three days checking out a quiet place in Delaware. We cruise up to the Chesapeake Bay bridge and pay the gatekeeper $12. Our first toll in Penny on this trip.

Another hour of cruising brings us across state lines and into Delaware. Flat farmland and groups of trees remind us of home. There are plenty of farms in the view and the temperature is on it's way up. We are in a good position to wait out a hot spell that is coming through the area. We get set up and take a walk in the woods to check out our new surroundings at Killens Pond State Park.

This place is much more of a campground than an RV park type setting. Roughly half of the state parks we visit are compacted gravel or paved parking spaces. The other half look like this. Sand, dirt, and leaves piled up everywhere. The locals are here in full force and plenty of kids are outside screaming for freedom. We'll close the windows and crank up the A/C. A luxury for us to have electric to run air conditioning in the time we need it the most. For the last 12 days we have relied on the generator and our batteries to get us through the days. This place is going to be alright.
