Upcoming planned trips! Adventure!!

I've been to both and, although Arrowhead is a lot smaller, I like it better.  It's not far from the main highway (Hwy 11) and it is near Huntsville which is a great town.  Algonquin is very popular, the park is huge but the campsites are quite open and (like all provincial parks) very busy.   The nice part of staying in Arrowhead, you can easily take a day trip into Algonquin (45 minutes away) and your Arrowhead pass lets you into all other provincial parks so there's no extra cost. There are lots of other options as you make your way through... you may want to take Hwy 69 route and check out Killbear, Killarney or Grundy along that route.  Absolutely beautiful parks as well!  Wow! Now you have me looking deeper into that area. It's just loaded with Provincials' or Conservation Land.  What's the deal with the conservation land? Is it Queensland? Can you camp on it?

If you like Civil War history also try Antietam Battlefield (Sharpsburg MD) and Harpers Ferry, in the same general area. The Appalachian Trail goes through Harpers Ferry and the C&O canal towpath is right across the river in MD and makes a great (level) bike ride. And, if you do want to spend a day in DC without having to drive in and mess with the traffic, you can take the MARC commuter train either from Frederick MD or Harper's Ferry WV.

I'm looking to do some type of a loop from mass, down thru penn(amish country, then gettysburg) down to virginia (check out a few natural caves, landscapes) then cut across to the Manassess area, maybe go past montecello or mt vernon, then head back north. Still in the planning stage for august. Trying to avoid D.C. as we were there 2 years ago. 

I've been getting ours ready to leave Monday for a visit to Florida to see my parents and (hopefully) my uncle who has cancer and is pretty bad off. Mom recently had another stroke, so this visit will be good. I'll be able to test things like the new LiFePO4 battery and the recently completed furnace diverter. I'm not sure if I will have a chance to really test the solar project (also just completed) since we will have one night on the road each way and won't be sitting during the day. Once we get there, we have reservations at Happy Days RV Park in Zephyrhills. We have stayed there before and it is nice. Good Sam members get a discount.
