6/10 - Mooresville, NC - RACE CITY USA

We decided to visit a local church before leaving Greensboro and went to Sharpe Road Baptist Church. Their regular pastor was gone to the Convention, but the guy filling in did a great job. We got on the road headed for Mooresville!

Just outside Winston-Salem we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for lunch. The wait was 45-50 minutes and they were packed. We went ahead and put our name on the list, but I had a brilliant idea! We placed a "to-go" order and ate in the RV. It took about 15 minutes to get our food. By the time we finished and we ready to go, it was about the time our table would have been ready! Wasn't I smart! LOL

No problems getting to Mooresville except the transmissions getting worse. It's heating up and not wanting to shift right in first and second now. Glad the campground is close. In keeping with our water theme, were camped on Lake Norman and it's beautiful. There are HUGE houses and BIGGER boats here! The campground is older and has lots of permanent RV's, but it's not bad. We're close to the water and the ducks.

David was outside when a car pulled up. I noticed he and the guy were talking a good bit. Then he and his wife were at our door. They wanted to see the Airstream. Can't tell you the number of times we've done that to people so we didn't mind at all. Gordon and Rita are from Mooresville and thinking of buying an Airstream. They talked for awhile and then we all went to eat at Capt. Pete's across the highway. Had a great time and they were a great couple. Glad we got to meet you and hope you get your Airstream soon!

We watched a little TV and off to bed! Visiting Mooresville on Monday and hope to do the race shop tours on Tuesday!

See ya down the road!

Can you send some of that water down here? we're in a stage 3 drought...btw - saw your picture on Fox 6 the other night that you sent in of Niagra falls. I heard him say "sent in by Jenny Ellison of Trussville" and I said "I just saw that picture today on her blog and read about it"! How cool is that?
