From Pennsylvania to North Carolina

4 Oct
We set off down the Interstate 81; out of Pennsylvania, through Maryland and West Virginia, and into Virginia. We could see the Shenandoah National Park running parallel to our journey. The countryside in Virginia is so similar to Wilts/Hants/Dorset. In fact apart from the buildings you would not know the difference. We stayed at a camp site near Staunton, VA.  The lady at reception had the most wonderful accent with lots of “y’all”etc.

We travel further down the I81 paralleling the George Washington Forest and then took a left and headed East over the Blue Ridge Mountains and eventually into North Carolina. The road over the mountains was narrow and pretty steep and the RV does well towing the car (driver does well too!).

We noticed the creeping vine, an invasive species, which smoothers everything. However it does make everything look very green and luscious. We really feel we are following the summer as it was hot and sunny again and the trees are still very green too.

We met up with Louise and Kev where we will be spending the weekend. Their neighbours are very kindly providing some parking space for the RV because it would not get down Louise & Kev's driveway.
