This week we took Serendipity out for her longest run yet. We loaded up the Dudley Twins and headed for the hallowed ground of Gettysburg. Lawman has a favorite campground (Drummer Boy) and we made reservations the day after we brought Serendipity home.
We've been gearing up for the trip all summer, we would buy a little at a time. By last weekend we had everything we needed all loaded up and ready to go. We hooked up and got underway.
The DT's travel very well, they slept most of the way. We stopped every couple of hours to let them stretch their legs and potty.
The trip took almost five hours, we hit quite a bit of traffic in Harper's Ferry, but it gave Cupcake a chance to snap some pics.
We arrived and set up camp. We are a well oiled machine
Our pal JM came up and grabbed the site next to ours, so we had a friendly face next door. We tried to show him a good time.
After a couple of campfire meals, we split the battlefield up into two days. We did the Union side on day one.

In between visits to the park, we enjoyed campfire cooking. We kept a pot of cowboy coffee on at all times, and did a couple of meals in the cast iron pot.

After a week of getting our camp on, we came back home to a tree full of persimmons. We're looking forward to making a batch of jelly this coming week.
We ended the week with unpacking, laundry, and naps. A bunch of naps.
