on the road

Left home in the rain yesterday morning, shorts and sandals, about 8am. Weather cleared up in a few hours and got cool, got out of rv around Roanoke, VA and about froze. Got a camp site at
Raccoon Branch in the Mount Rogers National Forest, pretty place up in the mountains at about 2500 feet. Played some dominoes with a scotch, had dinner and got to bed early. Woke up this morning and it was near 32 degree, so much for global warming. We are in middle TN now headed for Nashville, have no reservations but hope to find a site at 7 Points Fed. campground. Tomorrow will get into Arkansas.

The campground last night was near a little town called Sugar Grove, VA. According to our host Sugar Grove used to be a very productive maple sugar producing area, lots of maple trees. We were the only people in the campground last night other than the host, who was happy to see us. as he was kind of lonely. More later

  1. I hope you enjoyed pancakes with maple syrup this morning!! It's really cold here also. Yesterday I took Bill kayaking in 54 degree weather and he flipped the boat in the middle of the dam! I had to use my rescue whistle to get someone's attention and they pulled the kayak and I pulled Bill. I don't knoow which one was heavier!?!?
    Enjoy Arkansas, hopefully it will warm up for you.
