We left our campground in Phillipston, MA this morning and decided to make it an easy drive to NJ.  We spent most of the day on interstate or toll way, and it turned out to be a great choice!  It was in the mountains for the most part, and just a very scenic drive.  We had about 20 miles on a secondary road to get to our campground.  It is called, Pleasant Farm, and it's just that!  We are on a farm.  It's quite a large campground, and we passed the buildings, to make our way to the campsites. It is the most expensive campground that we have reserved on this whole trip.  I guess we are very close to NYC, so the feel it demands the higher prices. We came through the Berkshires in MA and the Shawangunk Mountains today, just south of the Catskills in NY.  We will be returning to the Catskills after our extended weekend in NJ.  We aren't far from them now, but we want to explore the Delaware Water Gap, of which, we are very close to.  We'll explore that tomorrow.  We saw lots of trees turning yellow, on our drive today, and we arrived at our campground to rain.  We just got set up, and it started to pour.  They need the rain so badly, so we're glad it decided to rain at night!  It's a fast moving system, and will be out of here by midnight.  I think our days are to be in the 70's for this weekend.  We have been blessed with beautiful weather throughout this whole trip.  We had rain early on, but it's been great for most of it.  We probably needed a rest when it rained, anyway!   I don't think we'll have enough days in this area, but we must keep on a schedule! Tomorrow is 9/11, so please reflect on the day, and what it means to us!  We will never be the same, but we have endured!
