Met some fellow campers who were really far from home!
While on a short getaway to Bass River State Park in NJ last week we began talking to a family we met while waiting to fill our water tanks. There was a mom/dad and two young boys. They apparently were all the way from Germany and had recently flown into New York City. They then rented an RV and were planning to travel down the east coast to Charleston, South Carolina. They were heading down along the Jersey shore and were going to take the Cape May ferry to Delaware and try to stay in as many state parks as possible. The father said they had flown over last year and did the Shenandoah mountains in VA, and the smokies in Tennessee. He said they think America is a truly beautiful country and his kids love to travel through it. On this trip they "doing the ocean sites" and were going to travel along the east coast. He said he prefers to dry camp (had a generator), and asked if we could recommend anywhere. We told him to be sure to check out Assateague State or National parks, on his way, as well as First Landing in VA. He already had Assateague on his list as must sees, and was anxious to check into the Virginia parks. I must say they were such nice people and it was very cool to see that they thought so highly of some of the sites of our country. I hope they have a wonderful experience!
