It took all day, but I eventually got to the campground &#8211; Ye Olde Mill Campground .<\/p>\n<p>I am sure you are curious about the name of the community. &#8220;Burnt Cabins&#8221; is not exactly a name you would pick to attract people to settle down. According to my <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Burnt_Cabins,_Pennsylvania\">preferred source<\/a>, the land was owned by Native American tribes until 1758. By 1750, a small village known as Sidneyville had grown to 11 squatters&#8217; cabins. These cabins were burned by order of the provincial government to maintain peace and to demonstrate to Native Americans that their ownership would be respected.<\/p>\n<p>We all know how that turned out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12498 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Burnt-Cabins-Gristmill-and-campground-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Burnt-Cabins-Gristmill-and-campground-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Burnt-Cabins-Gristmill-and-campground-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Burnt-Cabins-Gristmill-and-campground-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That large white building is Ye Olde Mill.

(Budget advice: Don&#8217;t take the Pennsylvania Turnpike with a trailer, if you can at all avoid it.) Joyce was so excited for my arrival that she met me at the exit &#8211; I think. She called me as I was trying to follow the voice in my phone to her house and told me that she was right in front of me. I was sorry that I didn&#8217;t recognize her, but after all the backends of cars I&#8217;d seen in my travels, it would have to be something pretty eye-catching\u00a0for me to notice. Besides, I was focusing on the turn-by-turn navigation.<\/p>\n<p>I followed her home and we got Flo in the driveway.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-12482-1\" width=\"660\" height=\"1173\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Backing-into-Joyces-Driveway.m4v?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Backing-into-Joyces-Driveway.m4v\">http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Backing-into-Joyces-Driveway.m4v<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>And by &#8220;we,&#8221; I mean the &#8220;Royal We.&#8221; I was pretty wiped after the drive, so Jeff offered to back Flo up the driveway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lots-of-interest-from-the-neighbors.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12518 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lots-of-interest-from-the-neighbors-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lots-of-interest-from-the-neighbors-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lots-of-interest-from-the-neighbors-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.towingsilver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lots-of-interest-from-the-neighbors-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of interest from the neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>And, as I always say, any house looks better with an Airstream in the driveway.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the maintenance items\u00a0completed at the Mothership in Jackson Center, Ohio, it was time to head toward Pennsylvania.
