When you're in Philly, the cheesesteak is an ok sandwich but what you really should try is an Italian roast pork sandwich from George's in the Italian Market or from DiNic's in Reading terminal.
I'll be living in Philly by that time as I'm moving into a new apartment at the beginning of the new year. I'll keep tabs on this thread but certainly do let us know when you'll be in the city. With a short drive over the Delaware, you can find a few good campgrounds which are out of the way and out of the city. I wouldn't sleep in a car in Philly because of both law enforcement and general safety. It's not really a dangerous city but sleeping in a car there I think would be taking a bit of a risk. I'm about to drive back to Philly from Albuquerque and look forward to getting on the road. Happy travels! Phil Forrest

If you want extra space don't wash the car-people will be scared of you hitting them

![]() How long will you be in Philly? The trip isn't until late June, so far all I know, you will have found another place to go... Well, don't recall ever saying I would camp in the big cities, as know too big of a risk. Only time I car camped in town was outside a "friend's" house (no longer for other reasons). Delaware? Well, I forgot to get the camping books, so kind of shooting in the dark... ![]() ![]()

No worries on not eating pork! My bad for the assumption.
Crossing the Delaware river from Philly takes you into New Jersey and a few miles past Camden either east or south you can find little campgrounds. If you've already got plans, my apologies again! ![]() I'm signing a lease on a new apartment so I'll be there at least until next fall. Phil Forrest

I don't think Vater be one to do this, but he taught me well how to be a penny pincher! Now I have gone even further! ![]()

![]() No problem, man! I am not hard core, just a preference for health. If I came to a dinner and it was being served, I wouldn't say a peep and finish it off. If it tasted good, I even say so. One every now and then isn't going to kill me. ![]() Hmmm, back through New Jersey again. I guess you didn't see it... I am sorry. I don't make firm plans. Within an hour, I have made a trip that I was thinking be no more than a week to almost two! ![]()

Well, things have changed. I am no longer putting her on the back burner! She has to be on the road A.S.A.P.! Tried going to class yesterday, but now suffering today. So will go onto campus for my acupuncture and see if I can talk with a professor, then that is it except for Friday's massage and chiropractic. I like to just get up and go, but didn't work and they want me to take a week off, so why not? I can get the notes.

I did just have an idea!
![]() What if I took out the passenger seat? Why would it be needed? That then give me 42" x14" deep cargo space. My Service Dog just loves making a bed in what ever is in the back. I put in an old 3 inch bed topper for the old dog I had and she still does it! Only issue would be the dog coming up front though instead of pushing on me she could just walk right up. Since Vater isn't coming with me to spend Christmas in Oroville, now that I think of it, maybe I will have time before and then can do a practice run.
