I made it safe and sound to Toms River, New Jersey, although the tolls nearly killed me!   I probably paid over $45 from DC to NJ.   I actually had to pull into a rest area to find an ATM machine for more cash.   I loved the campground and especially my oversized site.   I actually had a back yard complete with a fire pit.   Most of the people seem to reside here full time.   They have really fixed up their sites with gardens, rock ponds, decks and screened porches added to their RV’s.   My neighbor told me that many, like him, live elsewhere but use this as a weekend getaway.   The park is also filled with construction workers judging by the number of trucks with construction/repair logos.   http://www.surfnstream.com .   My team came over for a get to know you BBQ and I could tell right away this was going to be a great group to work with.   Mike Kennedy came from Minnesota, Lee Blayden from near Pittsburg and Bill and Barbara Epting drove an entire hour from Bucks county Penn
