Travel North from Savannah - NC, VA, and PA

Left Savannah after the trip to Juliette Low's house and traveled north thru Columbia, SC, and then thru Charlotte, NC.  

Mostly interstate so always traffic including trucks.

But scenery was beaufiful.






Spent the night in Elkin, NC.  


The first site we had was not level and we did not want to unhook so called the office and they had this site open.  Short but we just fit.


Probably wouldn't stay here again mainly because it was off the beaten path.  When you drive some 300+ miles, you don't want the last 10-15 miles to be off the interstate very far, and, this was probably 10 miles off.

The next day our campground would be in VA, another 300+ miles, north of Roanoke.  We were in mountains a good share of the way - and rain.





Just had to take this picture - can't remember the last time we got over 13 MPH pulling the trailer.  And in mountains, too yet!


We found our campground - National Chimney Park 7 Campground in Mount Solon.  Again we were a long ways off the interstate, and, GPS took us the shortest way, as usual which was NOT the best way.
This was our site - OK, but...


had to use 3 boards to get the trailer level and got to use the extra step my cousin, Gary, made for us!


Beautiful park though.

.

Not sure where we picked this up, (probably way back in Florida) but had to let you know that we found it.  (Not available in TX until later this year.


Wednesday we traveled from VA to PA.  


Approaching a tunnel...




We found our campground later in PA at a place called Don Laine CG in Palmerton.  No picture here but again off the beaten path.

On Thursday we headed East again and took this road in Eastern PA along the Delaware River with NJ on the other side.  Route 209 - 45 mile speed limit but worth it.  We wanted to get to I-84 which takes up over the NYC area altogether and gets into CT.



We made it to our campground in Barkhamsted, CT later on Thursday to spend a week with Larry and families.
