Nice afternoon in West Virginia

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.
