Back in the boonies

Sorry that I missed a post yesterday but we were truly as the title suggests, back in the boonies.  Our campsite yesterday evening was on the banks of Sutton Lake about 10 miles East of Flatwoods, WV.  The drive was on West Virginia mountain roads which were twisty and narrow, lots of Yoo Hoo corners.

Our internet wifi connection requires an AT&T cell signal and we had zero bars.  Our cell phone for calls and texting is Verizon and again we had zero bars.  We looked for over-the-air television signals and again we had zero.  This would be a great place to get away from technology and have a quiet vacation and there were several folks in the campground doing just that.  Here is a picture I took of our campsite overlooking an arm of the lake.
 And a little later we looked out our back window to see this across the lake arm.
We didn't see any fish from the bank but most of the other campers had boats and fishing gear around their campsite.

Today we completed our drive to Patapsco Valley State Park between Ellicot City, MD and Phyllis' house.  We are only 3 miles from her house set up in a nice wooded area.  We are far enough off of the highway to not have any traffic noise but close enough to get out for any needed supplies or hugs from daughter.  Here we have a strong ATT signal 😊, a strong Verizon signal 😊 and 99 channels of over-the-air television 😊 and still back in the woods. 😏
