Last weekend we were in Lancaster, Pa. at the Old Mill Stream campground with the Traveling Americans group. Thirteen rigs were in attendance, a nice turnout.
Friday evening we were on our own for dinner. Tom and I along with my brother, Larry and Joanne, went to the
Revere Tavern for dinner. Saturday morning the hosts for the weekend provided doughnuts and coffee for a continental breakfast. After breakfast we all scatter in different directions doing whatever. But we started gathering together in the late afternoon and then for dinner we had the derby specialty, Burgoo, a stew type dish in which we all contributed to the ingredients.
It was tasty and quite filling. Most of the ladies donned their fashionable hats and the men also had some interesting toppers.
Prior to the derby some bets were placed but no one placed a bet on the winner.
Sunday morning we gathered together for a pot luck breakfast that was supposed to be prepared by the men because afterall it was Mother's Day.
Tomorrow we are leaving again for the weekend. Because of the distance we are allowing an extra day to get out to the far reaches of Mineral Wells, West Virginia near the Ohio state line. The West Virginia Samboree is being held at this location and we have never been to their Samboree. The number of Maryland folks going out has dwindled because of the distance. I'm looking forward to this trip as it is in an area that we just passed through but have not spent any time at. The weather has just been about perfect the past several days and I'm hoping good weather will continue through the weekend.
