We got up and around, had breakfast and headed out. I stopped and dumped the waste tanks on the way out then stopped at the main gate to pay for our night’s stay. No one was there, but they had self-pay envelopes, so I picked one up and got back in the RV. We were about to write a check when I noticed, it said “no checks or credit cards for self-pay”. All I had was $20 bills and the price was $25. Hmmm. Sorry, Delaware. Guess we owe you one.
We headed on up around Delaware Bay and crossed the Delaware River on US Hwy 40 on the Delaware Memorial Bridge. From there, we wandered the back roads up through New Jersey. I’m not sure just how we got where we are now because I more or less let Gypsy lead the way. Joyce tried to figure out where we were on the Atlas but gave up. Interestingly, while wondering around, we passed the McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Joint Base. I didn’t know we were anywhere near it. I’d heard of Naval Air Station Lakehurst years ago while in the Navy, but never thought about it except to know it was in New Jersey. It used to be the Navy's main derrigable base and is where the Hindenburg met its end.
We kept truckin’ through the backwoods and stopped at a private campground, but couldn’t find anyone to check us in, so we kept going. It was about 4 pm then. We finally made it to Turkey Swamp Park up near West Freehold. What?! You don’t know where that is? Look it up. Google knows.
