Today we started our migration South. We left Albany just after 10AM EDT and arrived at Twin Grove RV Resort in Pine Grove, PA at 4:15PM EDT. We took I-90 West out of Albany and caught I-88 West to Binghamton where we picked up I-81 South. This route is longer by about 20 miles, but avoids going through New Jersey and then paying the $16 toll to cross back into Pennsylvania on I-78. We didn’t find I-88 to be as smooth as it used to be, but it was only bad in sections. When we got South of Scranton, I-81 got very rough. It wasn’t visually obvious, but something about the distance between the bumps in the road seemed to catch a resonant frequency on the trailer and it was shaking the heck out of the back of the truck. The rough ride ended about 50 miles South of Scranton, but there were votes in our vehicle to never take this route again. The problem is that my recollection of I-78 is pretty bad too, but that was several years ago.
This is a nice campground albeit hilly, which can result in leveling issues in some sites. We stayed here in August of 2021 and had some tires off the ground when the motorhome was leveled. The site we’re in on this trip is fairly level and only required that we raise our driver side about 2″. Our neighbors, on the other hand, have a massive 5th Wheel and both passenger side tires are completely off the ground.
We have full hookups and very few trees allowing our Dish antenna to pickup satellites 61.5, 110, & 119. Our AT&T hotspot connection is receiving excellent connectivity at 123/49 Mbps download/upload speeds. Our TV antenna is picking up NBC, CBS, and Fox out of Harrisburg, PA.
