Apr 20 Underway at last. Left the rv storage at 8:06 a.m. Trip up as far as WINSTON sALEM was uneventful.Stopped between Elon and Greensboro at roadside park and had lunch. The dogwoods along the road were very pretty. No problems getting here.
The sighting of Pilot Mountain at mile 128 as you came up the hill was spectular. From Mt Airy up to the blue ridge parkway the views comming up the montain were very beautiful. I wish someone else had been driving so i could look. Fron Fancy Gap to Wytheville was interesting but hilly.
The hill coming up to Fancy Gap was something else, but the old expy took it in sride. That's one tough machine.
Arrrived at the park at 3:24 Pm/322 miles.About what I had scoped out. AT 4:00 I had set up and was pouring a wine. It was a long day but not bad. thats it until tomorrow. Plan to go to Bexley,wva and stay a couple of days.
