June 23, Monday – A Drive in the Country



It was time again to weigh anchor and move further north to Delaware. I stopped a couple of times and was surprised with what I’ve been finding all along my trip up the east coast. German tourist and German sales people!! Radio Shack – German; Souvenir Shop – German. Interesting. As I headed north I stayed off the major roads and it was some of the most delightful driving that I’ve down in seven months on the road. Small farm towns and open crop lands with plenty of wooded areas. This was a total change of what I witnessed on my drive to Annapolis where the farmland was be assaulted by bad zoning.
I drove into Delaware about ten miles and camped at a state park next to the Delaware/Maryland Canal, a carved channel between Delaware Bay and Chesapeake Bay. This canal was the top of the Delmarva Peninsula. Right away I noticed something in Delaware that I had not seen before on my Circle Tour. The parks are dry – no alcohol and if you are from out of state, you get charged more for using “their” parks. Welcome to “The First State”
