June 9 – 14, 2024

We arrived at Sampson State Park at around 1 PM on Sunday. This time, it was only Davey and I, as my cat Mister had passed about a week before. I was sad to lose him, but he was very sick and I couldn’t bear to see him suffering any longer. Traveling with only one cat, and one who was in good health, was much easier and less stressful, however. Davey didn’t like being in the travel carrier and complained off and on during the drive, but didn’t get sick or overly stressed out. He just yelled until he got tired of it, then fell asleep.

We arrived at Bald Eagle State Park at around 2 PM after leaving Shawnee State Park around noon. I was in site M100, the first (or last? anyway, closest to the end of the loop) site in the loop that allowed pets. (Pennsylvania state parks generally allow pets, but have separate areas set aside for them.) My site was paved and level. There was a lot of construction work being done in the park—a whole new loop with full hookups was being built, and the older loops were being upgraded. My site was electric-only, which was fine by me. As long as I can plug in and fill my fresh water tank somewhere, I’m good.

Our very first camping trip in my Thor Tellaro campervan was to Shawnee State Park, PA, in May 2024. I met my brother and sister-in-law on their last two stops on their way home from their winter travels.
