and Ed, lots of people put too much chain lube all over an already dirty chain, so rag wipe your chain clean as you can before. Dont over do it, heck only the two rubbing parts of a chain link need lube going in, you shouldnt gloop the stuff all over the entire chain.
I'm sure it will get grimy even on a dry GAP. I usually start with the Boeshield as a flushing agent, wipe it off well, and finish with some oil. I've tried Teflon lubes but I don't go through it fast enough, and the Teflon seems to come out of solution and clogs the dispenser. Now I stick with Park oil.
I do have SKS fenders, so I think I'm good. One less thing to be obsessive about.
I looked at the campground. $50 for a well-equipped house, nice. Unfortunately the mileage doesn't work out right, I'm going from Cumberland to Ohiopyle.
The bike was probably washed well last year on my tour across Indiana and Ohio, as it rained on me.
Is your route posted somewhere? I'd like to see it.
