2011 Trip to Ohio

..................................... Sunrise worth waking Ray for. : ) ....................


Fort Criswell, Va. Good Sam RV Park. We're thinking " well, it's late and there aren't any other parks (preferably state parks) around. So we'll settle for this place. RV Parks are notoriously cramped and jammed with huge bus-sized RV's and we are usually stuffed in between with no view and NO privacy. Wow, were we ever surprised to get a nice little pull-thru spot with no one to block our views of the farm and cows grazing in the pasture. Same view the other way too, as we were in a little valley with green hills on both sides. I could go on and on. We had steaks on the grill in celebration. : ) Temple Grandin style.

Stayed at Mom's and Willard got us passes for the Noble County Fair. It is about a mile from Mom's house so great to just pop over for the Outhouse and Sulky races as well as the Tractor and Truck pulls. Loads of great fair food and live stock 4H shows too! We had very busy but fun time.

Kate and Gator and the little camper. Lovely spot right on the river. Colleton State Park: http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/park-finder/state-park/1876.aspx

No other campers except the 2 "Camp Hosts". And wouldn't you know they occupied the only two accessible sites. : (
Turned out for the best tho, we actually had a much better view and privacy where we ended up.
