Saturday, September 12, 2015
We had planned to attend a geo-caching event in NJ, way back before we made any reservations at campgrounds, so we knew we had to find one close to the area that this was held.  We drove to Waterloo Historic Village, and attended the 2nd annual Metro Geo-Cache Event there.  They are doing great things there, restoring the old buildings, and keeping the grounds nice, but they have a lot of work to do.  Our entrance fee of $5.00 (optional) went to the preservation of this village.  That's money well spent! The event was fun, and we met a lot of nice people, although some saw my t-shirt "Wisconsin Badgers" and they had to give me a hard time.  I reminded them that we have welcomed many New Jersey players to Wisconsin.  It was all in fun.  The day was overcast and much cooler temps than we have been having, so they really got lucky on the weather for their event.  They had some wonderful vendors there, and we stocked up on containers for planting back in Wisconsin, and also, bought some t-shirts.  I also bought an organic salve to put on BEFORE we go traipsing through the Poison Ivy, and it is declared to work.  We left happy campers with all our loot, and got back to the motor home just before the heavens fell!  We had quite the downpour.
The old stone building was constructed in the mid-1700's and was converted into a grist mill a few years after it was built.
This is the Smith home, and he was the owner of the stone building above.  His home looks fabulous, but it needs some repair.
                                                     I attract all the handsome green people!
This is the farm prior to reaching the campground, which is on top of the hill.  It is called Pleasant Acres and is a working farm, and campground!
You can see how closely the farm animals are here, to the RV's.  The little kids that come here, love the animals and we actually, don't smell anything.
I will close today with the price of gas, which was listed at $1.95.9 and diesel was $2.11.0.  In New Jersey, they have people pump your gas for you, as it is against the law for you to do it.

  1. Having someone pump your gas is one of the things I like about New Jersey. It reminds me of my dad and his business where your gas was always pumped...in Wisconsin just because it was good service!
