Travel to NC

Hi all
Saturday morning in Moncure, NC.
Was a good trip over from Nashville.
Our original plan was to spend Wednesday night at a Walmart in Newport, TN and pick up a few supplies.
As I always go in to the Service Desk and verify overnight stay welcome................
Found out they did not allow overnights.
Well, that put a bit of a crimp on our plans as it was getting dark soon so we had to find accommodations elsewhere.
Called 2 places that were not yet open and fortunately the second one suggested a place I had not seen, Fox Fire RV Park and White Water Rafting.
It was along the Pigeon River in the Smoky Mts.
Well, Reese, answered and was very helpful, indicating they were not yet open and only the electrical was running, no water or sewer. Well that was fine with us as did not have any connections where we intended to stay.
We got there after dark and missed the entry to the park and learned we could turn around almost anywhere, even in the dark. When we got back to the missed entry and got to the check in office, a very helpful young lady signed us in. She recommended, since we did not need electricity, that we pull in down by the river, in the tenting area. Told us to just stop on the road as no one else would be coming in, so we could enjoy the river and the peace and quiet. Well, the trail was pretty tight and had I seen it during daylight I likely would not have tried. It was just as she said, dark except for the moon and stars, with just a little water (white) noise.
Perfect.
We sat out and enjoyed until we got hungry and tired.
Light supper and off to bed.
Next morning presented just perfect and we delayed leaving early to enjoy some time by the river.


Thursday evening we found Zooland RV Resort just south of Asheboro, NC.

Great place that is in the pines and not at all busy, yet. Still outside of their busy season. Great staff and late checkout. So we got to relax as we got ready to move on.


Friday we got to Dickens RV Park (mancamp). We were able to get a spot that has been rented out for the month and the tenant would not be arriving until after we will be gone. Works for us.
Surprising that Friday night was very quiet, I suspect many are working shifts so noisy neighbors are discouraged.

Today we are going to spend the day with our Nephew and his family. We sure are looking forward to some time with them.

Make your day great
Tom and Millie
