Annual Motorcycle Trip......with out our bikes

June 12th we set out on our annual bike/camping trip. Normally we ride our motorcycles the 180 - 200 mile trip to Spring Grove PA. But this year our bikes were not in working order. So we packed up the pick-up truck and drove out.
The nice thing about driving is that we were able to bring a cooler, chairs and canopy.
The camp ground is the home of the White Rose Motorcycle Club.

To most they are known for is hosting bike hill climbs. Its crazy.

These guys race their motorcycles straight up the side of a mountain.


Here are some photos from the top of the mountain.



The last few heavy rain storms flooded and eroded the race path. It is no longer a straight line up. Now it curves a bit.

On my walk back down the trail I took these photos. It was such a beautiful day.





On the other side of the muddy pond was a farm. Check out the old trucks just rotting away in the field.




A few more photos...



As I am entering the camp ground again.




And here is our site!!!

And of course, it would not be a trip with out a photo of a train. You will have to look real close, but there is a train that passes by. Just had to take a photo.


Although we did not ride our motorcycles this year, It was still a nice time.

Crabby, Cranky and just plain tired

These last few months have been a little hard on me. Lots of worrying and wondering what the next day will bring. Will I lose my job? Will Jeff find a job? Will our health say good? Will something go wrong and rejection become an issue?
I think I have more gray in my hair then before. First I thought it was just becoming lighter because of the sun. NOT.....
I try and keep a happy face. Keep up-bet and motivated. But, that's just the outside. I try to keep busy with my sewing and crafting. But that sometimes does not work.
I just want to apologize to anyone that I may have offended or ticked off.
