Timberlane Campground
We made it to our first campground after two days of traveling. We stayed at Timberlane Campground located in Clarksboro, New Jersey. We chose this park for its location between Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
The campground is clean and offers sites with full hookups including cable. There were seasonal RV sites, but they were well kept. The people were extremely nice. They helped us plan our trips to both Atlantic City and Philadelphia.
The night we arrived we dropped the RV and headed to Atlantic City. When we arrived, we parked near the Hilton. We walked down the boardwalk to the Trump Plaza. We both put 5 bucks into the slot machines and both came out ahead. My wife won $8.50 while I was the winner of the largest jackpot I had ever won, $30.00 dollars! Even smarter, we both quit while we were ahead. Sorry Trump, this time you lose.
The next day we went to Philadelphia. In Philly, we did the tourist thing and saw the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Ben’s house. At Ben’s house (Ben Franklin to those of you not from the area) we got to see his privy (or toilet for those of you not from the time period). It really was nothing but a hole in the ground. Things have come a long way since then.
By this time it had started to rain pretty hard. But no matter how bad the weather, I was bound and determined to get my Philly Cheese Steak before we left. The people at the campground had told us about “Rick’s Philly Steaks”. This place has one of Philadelphia’s favorite Cheese Steaks if not the very best. Rick is a descendent of the creator of the Philly Cheese Steak. Rick’s is located in the Reading Terminal Market building. This building houses several businesses like you would find in an open air market.
Back at the campground we decided to go out for pizza. We found a small pizza place called Heavenly Pizza. This was my first New York style pizza. Sure wish I could find this back in the Midwest.
