Travel day from Boydton, VA

To Wake Forest, NC

We only had 50 miles to travel today so we slept in a little later than we normally would on a travel day.  It was also great to be able to just take our time packing up.

As usual, I took care of the inside while Monte took care of the outside. 

 

Once I was done inside I helped him outside by retracting the rear stabilizer and brought the landing gear up using the hookup memory level. 

It really works great and takes the guess work out of placement for hitching up.

By 10:30 we were ready to pull out of the site and make our way to the dump station.

 

It was pretty full-----

While Monte was dumping the tanks, I looked up and noticed that there were a lot of leaves rolled up in our slide toppers. 

OOOPPPS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was very overcast when we departed the park. 

 

 

 

 

 

The drive was uneventful–our route taking us through several small, quaint towns.

The address I entered in the GPS for our destination at Holly Point had us driving a half mile past the entrance for the park and declaring we have reached our destination at a location where there was no entrance.  So we had to drive another mile down the road before finding a place to turn around.

When we arrived at the entrance booth, we received a map with the available sites highlighted.  Monte got in the Jeep with me to check out the sites.

 We chose site 80 in a loop where we are the only campers.

Even though there was a large opening our roof top satellite dish could not find a signal so Monte set up our portable tripod mounted satellite.

In the evening we walked the short distance to the bathhouse to take showers.  Monte let the water run for a while until it got warm-my shower never got warm so I braved the icy water and took a very quick shower.
