Middle Innings!

On Monday we made our way to French Creek State Park for a day of rest and refresh of RVMakes3.  While there we visited Hopewell Furnace, a nearby National Historic Site.  Hopewell Furnace was an iron plantation that began America's transformation into an industrial giant.  The Furnace, which operated until 1883, played a major role in the Revolutionary War....producing cannons, ammunition and 115 big guns for the Continental Navy.

Tuesday we arrived at First Energy Stadium in Reading, PA.  The Reading "Fightin Phils" battled the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (AA affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays) and lost by a score of 6 - 3.  Karla and I had a fun time at the game and a quiet and relaxing night boondocking at the ballpark.

Reading, PA is only 35 miles from Lancaster, PA, our next destination.  So we arrived at Clipper Magazine Stadium several hours prior to game time.  The staff allowed us to park RVMakes3 behind the left/centerfield scoreboard where we boondocked for the night.  We spent the day walking the F&M campus (Karla's Alma Mater) and downtown Lancaster.  The Lancaster Barnstormers defeated the Charleston Dirty Birds by a margin of 2 - 1.  It was an absolutely perfect evening spent in the most accommodating ball park we have visited so far.

Thank you for all of your kind thoughts and prayers for Karla.  We are enjoying all the activities and time together.  Please stay tuned for additional blog updates.  We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon.  And as always, (we are) coming to a driveway near you!   

Game On!

Good Evening All.  We are finally on our way, but had to postpone the first week of our latest RVMakes3 (minor league baseball park) trip.  Our CT Scans and MRIs showed additional anomalies that required further exploration so we departed a week later than planned.  Friday afternoon we arrived in Wilmington, DE to attend the Wilmington Blue Rocks vs Jersey Shore Blueclaws minor league baseball game.  We boondocked at Hangman Brewery (Harvest Host) and Brandon (our nephew) joined us for the evening.  It was a very nice evening and entertaining game with fireworks following the final out.

 

On Saturday, we traveled to Malvern, PA where we boondocked at Locust Lane Brewery (Harvest Host).  Several of Karla's "philly" friends joined us there for good food and tasty beer.

Sunday began early as we needed to attend early Mass and get to Harrisburg, PA for a 1:00pm game time....Harrisburg Senators (AA affiliate of Washington Nationals) vs Reading "Fightin Phils" (AA affiliate of Philadelphia Phillies).  We braved the extreme heat and witnessed the "Fightin Phils" triumph over the Senators 2 to 0.  We spent the rest of the day exploring Harrisburg and cooling and resting in RVMakes3.

     

Tomorrow we rest and refresh RVMakes3 at a State Park.  Then on to Reading, PA for Tuesday nights game.  Please stay tuned for additional blog updates.  We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon.  And as always, (we are) coming to a driveway near you.  Take care!
