Dover, PA – Sept. 28, 2025

Stop #8

Well, a lot has changed. I got two days in one place! My brother flew back home, and my husband flew out to finish this trip. I wish the place had been better, though. I got sucked into the fact that they had bunnies hopping around and you can feed them.

I didn’t realize a lot of things. This was a HUGE family-friendly RV park, which isn’t bad, but that is sort of its main gig. So A LOT of kids. Another thing is it is religious-based. As a traveler, I sort of just want to see the sights and leave everything else behind. Businesses have their prerogatives when running their operations, and I commend them for sticking to their beliefs, but after being in a lot of RV parks, I have learned some have put basic rules out to be followed for a reason. People genuinely do not respect one another these days. A different point of view, or different perspective being tossed out there is just enough to cause issues. One of them even banned all flags besides American flags and sports teams. I can see why; it can really alienate people right now.

RV resorts are a small community for however long you stay in one, and it is off-putting to see someone go overboard with their flags politically. Unfortunately, this park had no one working at it. It was run by some children, and they basically worked in the ice cream area. So there was no regulation in this place and it came with two more German Shepherd dogs being tied up outside. Terrible.

That brings me to the showers. SOOOO BAD! I didn’t even take a pic because of how low I had stooped in regard to what I was willing to shower in. Black mildew in the corners… Like, get a magic eraser and some bleach. The worst part, though, is that you press a button and the water comes out for 10 seconds and shuts off. No time to do anything, and no time to get warm. ON top of being packed in that place, it was a no-go for me… That was a real bummer and waste of a stop.

HOWEVER, that all changed when I got to see my friend David. He lives in the area and he loves Pekingese just as much as I do. Fun fact, he will be the Best in Show judge next year at Westminster. He has won two times with his Pekingese, Wasabi, and his Pekingese, Malakai. It was awesome catching up with him and having some tea. YES, tea! He also gave me a couple of Best in Show ribbons. His whole house is filled with Pekingese stuff. I was in heaven playing with all of his dogs. Wasabi too! I am including a link of him in all of his glory HERE.

Last but not least. I picked up a kitten in PA! She is making the trip back down with us and is a tiny amazing little girl. She is so cute. Any ideas for some names?

Up next… The Finger Lakes
