July 11th - 12th Pennwood Airstream Park

We got an early start on Saturday morning and traveled through New York to Pennsylvania via the interstate highway system in an effort to out run the approaching thunderstorms. For just over 7 hours we passed through the rolling hills of NY into the mountains of PA. We both were pleased with the performance of our tow vehicle (2008 GMC 2500HD) as we barely knew we had a trailer behind us even in the steepest inclines. Shortly after 2:00pm we arrived at Pennwood Airstream Park in Limestone, PA. Pennwood is a non-profit Airstream only RV Park that is affiliated with the Pennsylvania Unit of the WBCCI. The park is run and maintained entirely by volunteers and they have an operating budget of about $30,000 a year.

What a beautiful and friendly park! As we pulled in we were greeted by a volunteer who told us to take any open site and offered to get a "parker" to assist us with backing the trailer into it's spot. Leon declined as he prefers to back in on his own. After we set up camp a number of folks stopped by to introduce themselves and to invite us to Happy Hour. Before Happy Hour we walked through the park enjoying the well maintained buildings and grounds and of course we checked out the many Airstream filled campsites. Happy Hour was a total blast. We talked and laughed with the folks at Pennwood about traveling, WBCCI and just about everything else. Later in the evening we attended their giant bonfire and introduced them to tracking the International Space Station (ISS). We had a wonderful time, we fit right in. We had originally planned to only stay one night but since we had so much fun we extended our stay to two nights and are very glad we did. On Sunday we relaxed at camp, enjoyed talking to many fellow Airstreamers and enjoyed another Happy Hour.

If you are an Airstream or Argosy owner we highly recommend you stay at Pennwood when you are traveling through western Pennsylvania!

I added two more states to the travel map located on the inside of our Airstream door - NY and PA. Our map is beginning to look like we've been places!
