High Point, NC


Back in High Point, NC for the weekend.  We survived Georgia's severe storms of April 3rd and 5th, before moving on to High Point, yesterday.  Normally that's a two day trip for us, but we decided to push it and do the trip in one day.  Took us about six and a half hours including lunch.  Donna drove all the way.  We made it on one tank of diesel using almost 33 gallons of the the truck's 48 gallon capacity.  We literally followed the cold front as it moved east, yesterday, so the tailwind obviously helped with the fuel mileage.

So far it's been cold and windy.  We been visiting since we got here.  There's only about a dozen RVs in the park.  I met most of them yesterday as I cleaned the bugs off the truck.  Apparently, I was out in prime dog-walking time. What should have been a 15 minute job turned into an hour plus.  It was good, though.  Met people from all over.  Most were like us - here visiting friends & family.

Today the ladies spent the day out visiting, eating and shopping.  I filled the truck's fuel tank, bought ice cream and some groceries at the Triad Farmer's Market, got a sewer hose extension from Camping World, and finished the grocery list Donna made for me.  We had dinner with another Donna here at the trailer this evening.  So we've stayed busy since we've arrived.  I think it all continues tomorrow with dinner out and an Easter show.

Plans are to move to Fredericksburg, VA Monday.  Weather forecasters say it'll be warmer.  Next post from there.  Everyone have a great weekend.  Thanks for dropping by! David
