Friday, 3 November; West Point to Clarksboro, NJ

It is still nice and warm this morning, but I believe the weather is going to change back to fall again tomorrow.  We chilled for a little while, but then started packing up to move.
Bella is getting so good about us packing up now.  She knows we are moving when I start putting stuff away.  I usually start in the bedroom by tucking my jewelry boxes under the pillows after making the bed.  She always notices that and in the past would start her trembling as I moved through and started securing other things.
Now, she just gets in her bed on the chair and waits.  I pulled in the recliners and started piling things on the couch.  No signs of worry from her. Rob brought the bike in and set it up against the bike.  You may or may not remember, my bike, having a motor on it, weighs 65 lbs.  It is too heavy for the bike rack on the back of the rig so we bring it inside when we move.  
Anyway, Bella was still fine and in her bed.  I put things away in the bathroom and then started securing the kitchen.  I tied closed the refrigerator doors as it is a residential and not RV so the doors don't have RV latches.  Anyway, when I brought the kitchen in she got down on the floor near the table.  Finally, I secured the table and everything.  I grabbed her and brought in the sofa slide and we went out to my car.
We haven't had sewer hook up while we have been here so Rob went and dumped.  Bella and I hung out down by the pond and I downloaded a book we have been listening to onto my phone.  It is John Grisham's Rooster Bar.  It's pretty good.  We have been listening to it while we have been together driving around and it has been on his phone.  Since we are driving separately I wanted to listen to it while I was driving.  It took awhile with our lousy wifi connection, but I finally got it and we headed on down the road.
We are on our way to Washington DC, but are stopping off at a KOA in New Jersey for two nights so we can go explore Philadelphia.
It was about a 4 hour drive.  There were 2 parallel freeways.  Rob and I stopped to get something to eat.  He pulled out ahead of me and I didn't see which way he went.  There were 2 freeways going the same direction.  Rob got on the Freeway on the right and I got on the one on the left.  As it turned out, one was for trucks and the other for cars.  We each got on the correct freeway.  We decided that I would go on ahead and check us in.  So, I did.
We are staying in the Philadelphia South KOA.  It is interesting that it is called that, because it is in Clarksboro, NJ.
Rob was pretty much right behind me.  We set everything up and then we both fell asleep on the couch.  After an hour or so we decided to take the Boo and go for a walk about. We like to do walkabouts when we get to a new place. 
We walked around the place.  It is really filling up for the weekend.  It is a fairly new place and they are adding cabins and walkways and stuff. We walked down to the pond.  You can fish in it but that is all.
 It is really nice this time of year with all the leaves and everything.
 There are lots of RVs here, as I said it is filling up for the weekend.
The new cabins that they are installing here.
After we walked we returned to the rig.  We had dinner and watched TV then went to bed.
