North Carolina

I had a little mishap this morning.  Last week when I backed into my site at the campground in Virginia, there was a ditch and then an incline into the site; my hitch dug a little groove as I backed up.  It also tweaked my rock guard.  Today when I pulled out, the rock guard was so bent it was dragging on the ground.  The maintenance man was kind enough to remove it for me (and recycle the metal).  Now I have to have a new one installed at the next Winnebago dealer I find.

The county where I was staying in Virginia was Pittsylvania .... I thought that was funny.  I wanted to take a picture of the sign but there was no where to pull off.

Chasing these picture perfect "items" I take pictures of brings me to sketchy parts of town a lot of the time.

I finally used my last bottle of DEF that I brought back from Canada.  I didn't stop for diesel between Virginia and North Carolina; and, of course, gas and diesel are more expensive here. ha.

My first Social Security check was deposited in my checking account today.  Woohoo.

It was a short drive to the new campground today; about 150 miles.  My odometer turned over the 15,000 mile mark, so I stopped to take a picture.

There actually seems to be more color in the trees here than in Virginia.  I understand it has something to do with rainfall.

I have my route all mapped out for tomorrow to hit the road and see some of North Carolina.  I'm going to stay around Greensboro the first day; then I will head down to Charlotte and work my way over to the Blue Ridge Parkway again while I'm here.  I want to spend some time in the Smokey Mountains, but I may do that from the campground in South Carolina .... it looks to be the closest.
