Shenandoah Valley Campground Review (10/7-10/10)

 Heading out for Final Trip w/North Pole

Friday, October 07, 2022

We arrived at Shenandoah Valley Campground around 5pm and checked in. We were at staying at site 39 and had 20 sticks of wood sent to the site. It took us about an hour to set everything up, but it was a nice and level site with plenty of room.

I started on supper, and we made this one fairly simple. 1 can of cooked chicken, 1 can of mixed vegetables cooked together in a fry pan with a little Mrs. Dash and Soy Sauce. We included a can of beets. 

After supper, I just relaxed around the fire and enjoyed a quiet evening. 

There were some clouds in the sky and the moon tried to peek through once in a while.

Saturday we had to leave early and pick up Matthew, and we headed to Forest, Va. There was a family event going on, and we attended. We were happy to see Nicole, Daniel and Ruth.

 

After the event, we took Matthew to Cracker Barrel to have lunch. While we were there we picked up some corn muffins to have Sunday with the homemade chili.

That evening, after returning to camp, I saw a Blue Heron in the river. I was able to watch him for about an hour.

Our neighbor, Vicki, had he dog with her and his name was Honey. He really loved attention.

While we were at Cracker Barrel, I found a sign that I had been looking for. While camping, it will travel with us but during the Holiday season, it will be at home.

This evening it turned off cold and I had to put on the "Big Coat".

No clouds this evening and the moon was full.

It was in the 30's this Sunday morning, so I cooked outside and we ate inside. For breakfast, we had pancakes, summer sausage and fruit. 

We dressed and headed to church. We attended service at Victory Baptist Church in Staunton VA.

For lunch we had NY Strip and green beans. 

After lunch I got the fire started and then split the rest of the wood.

I got the pot hung over the fire and started the chili. 

The chili cooked four hours and then we let it sit for 30 minutes before we ate. 

The beans were really good and we even shared with our neighbors.

After supper, Amy and I walked down to the falls.

After dark we continued to enjoy the fire and we even made a few smores'

Another cold morning, but a good hearty breakfast. NY Strip, scrambled eggs and fried toast.

We packed up camp and head for home.
