New England Trip

This morning in the campground we hooked up the Acura for towing, and had a visit from another camper interested in the equipment for towing and asking questions.  We spent a few minutes explaining the rig to him.  He and his wife and son were camping in one of the KOA cabins, but were interested in buying an RV and traveling to some of the places we had been, especially Nova Scotia.

We set out around 9:00 a.m., and had a wonderful drive through the valley, with mountains on both sides of the highway.   We stopped at a rest area to fix sandwiches for lunch, and enjoyed looking at some very cute puppies.  Toward the end of the drive there were some interesting passages where we had to use low gear on some steep downgrades, and we landed in Statesville about mid-afternoon at the KOA.  We had hoped to top off our propane tank here, but the woman at the registration desk could not leave the desk, and when she tried to call the person who could fill our tank, the phone number had been disconnected.  Traveling does have its challenges.

We will get an early start tomorrow, to be sure to make Steve’s 4:00 appointment with Dr. Stone tomorrow afternoon in Hartwell.  We are eager to find out what weird disease he is battling, and to get some medication for it if possible.
