We nave moved again

                                      CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF NC.


First off I added a link above so you can see the pictures I took in North Carolina.
We left Lenoir NC yesterday and drove to Gladys VA. and got all set up at Lynchburg RV Park. It is a nice park and we got a great site.

The weather was great and we didn't have any rain till today. Looks like it will be wet most of the time we are here.
Today we went to Appomattox as it is only 18 miles up the road. We first checked out the Museum of the Confederacy. There are two of the and one was here. It is a great place to lean about the people and what all happened here. Lots of pictures of the people and what happened to them. Also lots of artifacts from the war in this area. You can spend lots of time reading all the stuff.

Then we went to Appomattox Court House. It was a strange feeling to be where Lee surrendered. He didn't surrender in the Count House but at McLean House. There were several buildings you can go through and the McLean house was one of them. You can see the spot where Lee surrendered. May go back to see the rest as it was raining and a bit wet while we were there.

Still here

Well by now you all know Gloria had a heart attack and is not home and doing well. We were going to leave here on Wednesday but I change is to Monday. Gave Gloria a bit more time to get back to normal. We have had a good time here and got to see some new areas and places. We will be going to Virginia to a TT Park called Lynchburg RV Park. Hope it is as nice as this one. I will post pictures of our stay here when we move as the internet is slow here.

More looking

Yesterday we went to the emerald Village Mine tour in Little Switzerland NC. This is one of the mines that produced Feldspar for the making of Bon Ami. It was not what I was expecting and not worth the money. They say you get a mine tour. I guess you did but all it was is a hole in the rock. Not the mine itself. The did have lots of old mine equipment to see in the museum and other things too. just not what I expected. Would not do it again.

This is all the mine you get to go in the rest is flooded
 

It would seem lots of the things around here are not much to see just places to travel to. We went to Boon NC. today to go to the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum. Real nice area but not much there to see. They have moved some old cabins here to preserve them. The first one was built before the American Revolution.

This one was built in 1852 and the people raised 12 kids here.

That is the picture of the people that got this house for a wedding present in 1852

 There were 4 more but I couldn't learn much about them. The only good thing was this one is free.

Just looking around

We have been busy looking around the area. Had some rain the other day so we got to stay home but today we went to a place called Fort Defiance. No it isn't a fort but a house that was built near where the fort was. The house was built by General William Lenoir in 1788 and the town was named after him. It was a nice tour that took us around the grounds and inside the house. Only bad thing was you cant take pictures inside. There are lots of thing that were in the house from the 1800's. There is also a cemetery where most of the Lenoir's are buried.

Guess I should have said we have moved

We did leave S. Carolina and went to N. Carolina and got all set up in Green Mountain RV Park 4/28. It is another member park and is real nice. We set up in a new area with all that we need.

The weather has been a bit bad at times with some hard rain. But for the most part it has been nice. We took a drive the other day to Linville that is north of here to see the Linville Caverns. They were nice but not as good as some we have seen.

We also went to Linville Falls. Not a large falls but real nice and a good hike for me.

Will post more as time goes on as there is lots to see in this area.

We are going north again

We will leave here tomorrow and head to North Carolina to stay in Lenoir at a member park called Green Mountain. Should be a short trip like 160 miles. Looks like we will be hitting rain again on the run. So I will be cleaning the rig again. hehehe. We have had a good time here and got to see some new things.

enjoying our stay

We have been having some good weather here. Been in the high 70's and clear. The other day we took a drive north of here and looked at some water falls. The first one was Chau Ram Falls. It was in a County Park and was easy to get to.

The second one was Brasstown Falls and was a much better falls. There are 4 falls all in one. But the walk there was a bit hard. Lots of rock climbing and narrow trails to get to them.

It was a real nice day trip. There are lots more up in that area and we may go look at some more later.
We also took the bike for a ride yesterday around the area and got to see some nice country side.
