We left Swannanoa KOA at 6:30 in light rain. I-40 was light traffic ... and a 6% grade with "truck runaway" ramps. Mark noted that the highway was not banked at all ... 25 MPH on some curves! (Impossible!)
Sue and Wayne were on I-95 ... a couple of hours behind our ETA. (We were on the road 2 hours before them). US 58 was a nice 4 lane country drive with rolling farmland and a few tiny towns. It looked like the year 1955. LOL
We arrived at Chesapeake Campground and Farm about 2:30 in the pouring rain. One "Deep Stable" horse was kicking up his heels in the rain; 5 were standing dejectedly in their rain sheets and six were under the pole barn roof. Pecking order firmly established.
Fortunately, our campsite is paved ... we were surprised to find it quite full ! There must be a large long-term RV community here. Who knew?
Pam sent me a picture of Savannah's and Marshall's wedding cake topper ...
Hilarious!
Sue and Wayne arrived about 5 o'clock, but had trouble pulling into their space ... It's now 535, and I watched them pull out the exit, possibly to get turned around?! Mark is out in the rain somewhere, trying to help.
Ha ha Ha, it's now 10 to 6, and Mark is still out trying to help Sue and Wayne find a spot that they can back into. Everything is soaked here with the rain, and if he were to drive off the pavement, the Prevost would be well stuck. Sue called to say, "don't worry, Wayne will drive Mark back. " LOL "No he won't", I said, "because your Escalade is parked behind our rig!!!"
Meanwhile, there have now been four confirmed tornadoes in North Carolina today. It definitely is a severe storm outbreak.
