6/4 - Luray Caverns, VA

Running for mama!

Chrissy the flying dog!










Before we left the campground at Gettysburg, a man named Gary Overstreet came over to our campsite. He was parked behind us and is also from Alabama. He's from Bay Minette, Alabama.


It wasn't a long day's drive, but it was in the mountains, so we left about 10:00 a.m. in the rain (remnants of Barry!).


It stopped raining after we'd been gone about an hour and the sun came out. Yea!

We reached our campground and overshot it. About the time we saw the sign, David realized there was a narrow bridge AND a school bus crossing it about the same time we were coming across it. We rode into town and turned around to make the turn into the campground.


I was shocked when we pulled up! Looked like we were going to be parked behind someone's house. But no...we were directed up the hill after we registered. At the top of the hill was one of the nicest RV parks I've ever seen. View of the mountains all around us, large spots, and an HUGE open area in the middle. A couple from Switzerland had just opened it. There were no plans to build any spots in the meadow. There is a small pavilion where they hope to have music and they were in the process of adding a small pond.
We took Chrissy out to the meadow and took her off leash. She had her rope so we played throw until she couldn't run anymore (about 10 minutes!). She was so funny! Another camper pulled in. There were two daughters and a dog! Chrissy was thrilled because she had a new playmate. Good for another 10 minutes and both of them gave out!
If we have the chance, we'll come back to this campground!
Turned out we didn't go to the caverns as we had laundry to do. The laundry facilities were all new and did a great job. They had wireless Internet there, but the signal was weak (that's why I'm behind on the blog!).
We turned in early and got ready to the ride to the end of the Civil War - Appomattox!
See ya down the road!
Jenny :)
