Monday, July 15, 2024 - Woodland Campground, Woodland, PA, 196.6 Miles, 383.5 Miles For The Trip
We finished packing up the trailers, and around 10:00 the Guidos headed for the dump station. I pulled in behind them, but don't have enough in either tank to make it worth dumping. I may need to add some tank chemicals to keep the tanks from stinking during this hot weather (it hit 98°F on the way here), but without at least 1/2 a full tank it doesn't really dump fast enough to do a good job.
We arrived at Woodland around 4:00 just before a thunderstorm. We managed to set up before it hit, then headed into the trailers during the rain. The good - it cooled things down to around 78°F outside. The first thing I did was plug in the trailer power & start the AC. A good test of the new 9600BTU Houghton AC - on Automatic it took the trailer from 89°F down to 75°F in an hour. After that I set the fan speed on low to see if it can keep the trailer at 75°F without running the fan on medium or high. On low it is very quiet. The compressor adds to the noise level when it cycles on, but the fan alone is less than the one in my electric heater. Unfortunately, it slowly creeped back up to 79°F with the fan on low. Now, the sun is peaking out, and the outside temperature is back up to 87°F.
We are in "Buddy" sites, ie our doors & awnings face each other. I'm in site 25 & the Guidos are in 24. Full hook up sites on gravel with picnic tables & a fire ring on the lawn, level enough that I didn't need to unhook. $52.47 per night.
