Back From Brandywine

[Bigjohn1028]

Finally made it back....Had a great time camping out....I had forgot how beautiful it is down there.....In all did around 1300 miles ....Took some of the roads some of you had suggested.. Did a lot of hopping over the border into Virginia..(Love Rt33 thru the mountains into Virginia) That has got to be one of my all time favorite set of twisties. There's a few pix in my signature (if it works) Got the Venture the dirtiest it has ever been took it up Dolly Sodz...Thought the thing was going to rattle apart ha!...Then took it up to Reddish Knob from the Sugar Grove side....Very dusty...Found out later I could come in from the Virginia side on paved road...

Tell ya what it's hard to beat setting around an open campfire with friends and big ole T-bones on the grill with a few cold ones after a long day of riding... Liked it so well ...Were heading back down the weekend of the 19th to do it again..... Also.. if anyone get a chance take Rt 47 out of Parkersburg (WOW!) Very nice...Take it all the way untill you hit Rt 33....Nice twisties and switchbacks...

Getting ready to buy another tent ....wanting one this time that is a 2 person....Been eyeing the Eureka Timberline 2XT....or the Eureka Apex 2XT...anyone have any horror stories with either ? Been researching and they look like good tents for the money.

That is a good ride. I love going up germany valley. Did you see any bald eagles along the potomac?

Eureka makes a good tent - can't go wrong. And I've been on the routes you described. Wonderful
