May 11 - It was a good day today! The weather was great and traffic wasn’t as bad as we’ve seen already. There was some road work but that seems to be the normal for every summer.
We left Asheville at 9:10 and
arrived at Camp Creek State Park in West Virginia at 2:30. The park is very
quiet with only about 15 sites and on a gurgling creek. The
grounds are very well maintained and we had managed to get one of the 2 pull-thru
sites and didn’t have to unhook the truck.
I did have a close call at one
point today. I was in the right lane
behind a Florida person towing a travel trailer. I think it might have bene a virgin trip as
they drove like snails. Traffic was
heavy and once I got a break to the left lane to pass it was at an entry where
a semi was merging on from the right. Well, the Florida
person didn’t lay off or speed up and I didn’t want to be behind them when they
crashed so I had to serve into the outside lane and luckily, they either got
over or stopped as there was no crash behind us! We did see a bad one after the fact further
up the road. Two semis and there were
parts all over the road that I had to slow for and navigate around. So, I guess it was a more exciting day that I
thought.
We text and spoke to friends
we make while volunteering in Idaho who have now moved back to Ohio from
Arizona. We will be meeting them for
dinner in a couple of nights so that will be nice.
Bill washed the front of the
RV and we sat out at the picnic table and had a beverage and read our books for
a while. Then we walked over to the
creek and took a few photos and then stopped in the office and had a nice visit
with the lady working. She’s from here
but lived in Florida for 30 years so we enjoyed our visit.
We will be in Ohio tomorrow
and will do some sightseeing there.
