When we started full timing there wasn’t much help on the internet for finding RV parking. We had two manuals, one civilian and one military. The civilian one was quite large but only had about 60% of the nationwide parking places with phone numbers and addresses. Larry Farquar (a retired USAF MSGT) had already started his US military campgrounds location catalog that would soon be on the net.
We seldom made reservations in advance unless we wanted to stay in a specific place for a couple of weeks. We were just freewheeling it – as my mother would say – from place to place. It led us to some strange parking sites. This one was in Chambersburg, PA. We just drove in and asked for a site and got a large FHU grassy one. The RV Park was Twin Bridges. It’s one of those country/family CGs with friendly management and a nice camp store. I got some bait and caught a few smallish eatable catfish from the stream across the road. We stayed long enough to explore the town – a county seat – and some nice country food restaurants. It never did rain and we got underway. Our next stop was at a KOA at Jonestown, PA where we had a two week reservation.
