Lake Laurie Campground, Cape May, NJ - July 14, 2009

This morning, we were up and about rather early. We walked Pooh Bear, had breakfast and then headed south again after calling ahead to the repair garage in Stanford, CT about the tow dolly. On the drive south on 95 in Connecticut I dealt with heavy traffic, particularly in the western part of the state. Arriving in Stamford, we trusted Stella, the GPS, to get us to the garage. Instead we found ourselves in a very old industrial area of the City. I don't think this was really Stella's fault. I called the garage and they directed me to a place where I could park and they said they would come to me. They also told me that they had had trouble getting parts for the tow dolly and they were still working on the repairs. We waited and while we were doing so, I took the bikes off the Chrysler, took the Chrysler off the trailer and disconnected the U-Haul trailer from the Silver Lady. Help arrived soon after with our tow dolly, which they helped me hook up and get the Chrysler hooked up. All in all, we were stopped for about two hours.



Heading south again, I took route 287 across the Tappanzee Bridge into New York and then the Garden State Parkway south in New Jersey all the way to Cape May. Our campground was only a short distance off the Parkway and we were able to find it and get set up with a minimum of difficulty. This Campground did not have a pull through site for our unit so we had to drop the Chrysler off the tow dolly, and then drop the tow dolly before backing into a very nice site.



Afterward, we headed for the swimming pool and while swimming, Sue said, "let's go watch the sunset and then get something to eat." We got cleaned up and headed out. We found our way to the edge of the Delaware Bay and parked the car. We watched a magnificant sunset from a large pile of rocks reached by walking along a wooden breakwater that was covered with moss and wet sand. What a great experience. We held each other, prayed and sang praises to our God as we watched the sunset.



Seeking to fulfill the dinner promise, we headed out looking for a place called Harboon Henry's on the waterfront. A lady in the campground had recommended this place and it was great. We had only a very short wait, an excellent dinner and live music to serenade us. I even took Sue in my arms and we danced as our dinner sat waiting on the table. A glorious end to a long day of travel.
