Amerigreen Fest then Philadelphia
Great weekend. Departed Friday and drove approx 30 miles north of DC and camped in public campground approximately 20 miles south of Frederick MD. Plenty cool enough weather to camp in July heat. Saturday morning drove on the approximate 85 miles north to Manheim PA. We found our destination about 9:30 but the music didn't start until approx 1:00 so we had time to find a place to hopefully watch Argentina play Germany in World Cup. Who would have thought nothing open until 11:30. Finally, after driving around asking everywhere we find an awesome little pub out in the middle of what appeared to be Little Germany. I think it was called Sharpsburg.Germany wins 4-0, Marie disappointed. We departed prior to game end. Went back to Manheim and set up our camp and took a nap in the shade.
First music started at 1 followed by 12 bands on 3 revolving stages with Hoots & Hellmouth and then The Hackensaw Boys ending out the show.Surprisingly COLD night camping as we brought nothing warm to sit around in.
Sunday morning early departure west the 60 miles to Philadelphia. Arrived at the hostel and screwed up. Desk clerk nice enough to offer us luggage storage and a shower although we couldnt check in for a few more hours. Someone was taking a long time in the one lobby shower so I seized the opportunity to grab the swinging code locked door (as someone was exiting)that leads upstairs to all the showers (desk clerk spotted us and caught us on the 3rd floor). He wasn't happy and I just knew we would end up with lousy accomodations that night :) Luckily, he went off duty before we checked in.
What a place to view a July 4th parade. Hot 100 degree day while touring the city. Of course I tried the mandatory soft pretzel and philly cheeses steak.
Monday morning departure south down the eastern shore of MD/VA with a casual stops here and there. Great weekend.
Really looking forward to approximately 15 of us going to James River State Park canoeing/tubing this weekend.
Potential trip July 29 to Baltimore as The Hackensaw Boys will respoond to Hoots & Hellmouth's challenge to a band showdown.
