This week in Brandywine Campground

With the help of Carly and the Mike Eye the Game Warden, we captured a black rattle snake last Sunday! Carly nearly rolled her bike on top of him and she heard what sounded like a baby rattle. He was about 3 to 3 1/2 feet long.

This past Thursday and Friday we packed up most of our house and moved it into a storage unit in WV. It was a great adventure with lots of help from the Piedmont Ward members to pack the truck. Brad drove the 26' truck over both Shennandoah mountains without any problems. Brayden and Tyler really enjoyed the ride in the Big Truck.

Saturday we took some R&R at the Massanutten indoor/outdoor water park.

Come up on the 19th and camp with us! Its only $16 a night! After the Court of Honor bring you own picnic lunch and enjoy the mountains and a swim in the lake at the camp's own beach.

Directions from Culpeper:

Take Rt 29 south to the Sheetz at Madison and turn Right on Rt 230 and travel to Stanardsville, VA. Turn Right on Business Rt 33 in Stanardsville and continue merging back onto Rt 33. Travel over the mountain and through Harrisonburg, VA. From Downtown Harrisonburg (about 30 minutes more to go) continue on Rt 33 to the next mountain and go over it too. We are on the other side of the mountain at the foot of the mountain. You'll see a sign for Shooting range ahead and then you're only 1 mile away. It's the first Left turn and follow the enterance road past the lake and into the woods. We're the first site on the left!

A bear hunting we must go!!

After 5 weeks of terrorizing the campers coolers we captures this sow guesstimated at 150-160 lbs. After the bear we faced a different challenge...the midnight barking chiwawa!! Killer minature dog who roams the forrest unchallenged! Until last night when we captured him too! Actually, he walked up at 1:00 am and sat on our door step.
