What a day! Starting out before dawn (not unusual for us) in freezing drizzle, ending up with jackets off in sunshine and 50 degrees! And just in the span of about 250 miles.
We left the ridges of WV to travel thru steep mountains, with road grades of up to 9%....pretty steep! But the RV climbed like a champ.While we didn't actually see a sunrise over the mountains, we could watch the sky lighten and clear. In Virginia we skirted the Appalachians looking down on Shenandoah Valley. By this time the weather was clearing nicely, giving us grand views.
And here we are camping where the NASCAR fans settle in for big race weekends, right next to Charlotte, NC Lowe's Speedway.Glad to have (hot) water and electricity tonight. Met a couple here who just came down from Cortland, NY. Sunny and warm, and we're renergized after lunch and a short nap.
After a desperately needed car wash (TOAD gets mighty dirty back there behind the RV) we took a drive thru the local area and downtown Charlotte. Nice! Obviously an active and prosperous city.
There's a large RV dealership/service center next door and B will seek advice on the cold feet issue. I may take in the big Mall while he gets the big rig serviced.
Next, Charleston, SC.
