WHERE IN       THE WORLD IS       SAM?

Well, we have been traveling a little over a week and I haven't made another entry, as things have been pretty routine. What is ROUTINE? We stayed in a camp grounds in South Carolina and their was this wonderful pond but Mom wouldn't let me swim, something about it being an alligator habitat. Good thing we were only there one day.

We did stay 2 days in North Carolina where I got to play with a Springer Spaniel who had won trophies at the dog show.  In Virginia I got to play in a creek that was crystal clear and cool.

We are now in Pennsylvania just north of Hersey, PA. and it is beautiful! Days are in the mid 80's and nights mid 60's. Things called "hills" are all around and they are beautiful, but more important they are FUN to run up and down! I play with a Golden Retriever here. Can we get hills put in my dog park back at home?

I think Dad was upset on our way from VA to PA. Something about a gridlock on the Washington DC beltway. I only know we were moving very slowly. We hit another bog down when we got onto I-81 near Hagerstown, Maryland. We were actually stopped at times. Thank heavens,in both cases, it was only heavy traffic and road construction and not accidents that caused the hold ups.

We finally get to the camp ground over 2 hours later than we had expected. Everyone was tired but me (I was ready to play in the dog park). Setting up camp did not go so well. The jacks that level the RV didn't work right and Mom had to reset them. After several tries we finally got all set up. I think it was a good thing there was a restaurant on premise (with a full bar) so no one had to cook!

Mom says things run in 3's. Hope that is right. So far this trip the A/C's peed on the living room carpet, the refrigerator went from 38 to 50 degrees, and finally the jacks. Good thing that adds up to 3! Oh, about the pictures, I'm not sure the play ground with this plane was intended for dogs but sure was neat. You can see the beautiful hills in the background. We will be in Maine on the first. Then I get to SWIM everyday! I miss you all and will be back in touch. Love, SAM and Family
