This is going to be a long trip report (photo wise), in 16 days from April 10th through April 26th we will drive a little over 2800 miles and take over 1200 photos and videos, I narrowed them down to these but I still feel like it doesn’t tell enough of the story.
This was also our first trip without Spot, boy did we miss him and it seemed everywhere we went there were dogs. So we took our time and pet almost everyone that came our way, there were a couple that we wanted to bring home with us but they seemed to have happy homes already.
We started by going to our friends Chuck & Pats for Easter weekend (Ohio), I like to stay busy so I asked Chuck to have some projects ready. We started by bleeding the brakes on their class A, you’ll see that Daisy is quite the protector…
and than we worked on the siding on the garage until that side was completed
While we were busy outside Pat & Kim were busy running errands and than making Bunny carrot cakes for Easter (they were gooooood)
Than we finished the evening by a fire on the deck, it was a good weekend, Thanks for having us.
Next was Watoga State Park in West Virginia, we hiked along a stream enjoying having to cross the water about a dozen times.
We got to the end or where the stream begins and turned around the way we came.
The trails ranged from asphalt, rocks, steps, wood chips and boulders but it was all good
I don’t think the hike was really a long distance but it was a lot of elevation and switchbacks, our GPS said we did 1300ft vertical travel. It took us 1.5 hour going up and 1.25 coming down and .5 each way to the campground so about 4 hours of strenuous exercise.
Here several of us are sorting out shirts and other items so that we will be ready for Fridays registration
Than a well deserved break
Thursday evening anyone that was there was invited to go into town for dinner at a local seafood restaurant, we had three sets of tables full of people
Here’s a shot of our site, straight down to the end of the road, right on the water
And sunrise from our dinette
Sunday morning after breakfast Gary & Deb, Bob & Jan and Kim & myself headed south to Hatteras, on the way we stopped at the home of Grave Digger monster truck
Here is our trail on the GPS of our visit to the outer banks of NC, there’s more to see and do but we wanted to leave something for next time we are there
as we drive out we just had to stop for a photo of the Spaceship house
Then on to Chapel Hill NC to visit a friend from our high school days, for something to do we cleaned up the Ferrari (ok maybe not quite a Ferrari)before going to visit the rest of the family (notice the cool looking rig in the back ground)
Friends & friends Family
Horses & Ducks
and Kim found a cute new puppie friend (she wanted to bring him home but they had just gotten him and said no way)
Dinner with the gang
And than we were to take two days to drive the 700-mile trip home but we got home a day early because the roads/traffic were so good.
Well you folks definitely know how to cover some ground, and have a great time doing it. I feel like I was at the party, all of them. Thanks for the great trip report! And into trip reports it goes...wait! That's Silver's line! Sorry, got carried away there.
Looks like a lot of fun. Wish we still had our TC but had to give it up. My wife's hip was giving her a lot of grief getting into and out of the cabover bed, so we're TT people now. TCing is still the ultimate way to travel. We did our snowbirding in one for several years.
