We all loaded up…

Abingdon And The Virginia Creeper Trail
We were with a rally of the Virginia Airstream Club in Abingdon, Virginia. The city blocked off a street so we were free to move around without fear of traffic. We enjoyed a nice breakfast hosted by Peter and Stephanie. One of the many attractions of Abingdon is the Virginia Creeper Trail, an old railroad…

Thursday, May 13, 2021 We drove four hours southwest to Abingdon, Virginia for a 4-day Airstream rally called “Silver in The Streets”. Usually looking for secluded parks set in natural surroundings, this is a new venue for me. Through months of planning, the Virginia Airstream Club worked with the town of Abingdon to allow us…

Hungry Mother State Park 2
We started the day with a beautiful quiche Sandra brought Campground host, Roy Stanley, came around to say good morning as he made his rounds. Roy and his wife, Elizabeth, do a great job. In fact I would later tell him they are the best! We have been to a lot of campgrounds and have…

Drive From Nashville to Hungry Mother State Park
Thursday, March 25, 2021 It was a grueling drive from Nashville on I40 and 81 to Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia. Traffic was heavy, and the rain was coming down so hard, I never took my windshield wipers off high speed all day. Everyone likes to pull right in front of you after they…

The Oliver Travel Trailer Showroom in Hohenwald, Tennessee
We went to Oliver Travel Trailers in Hohenwald, Tennessee, just up the road from the campground. We had seen one at our last campground and liked it. After watching a video online, we decided to take a look. We missed the factory tour, which takes three hours, and all the sales people were busy, so…

Visit My Cousin in Somerville, Alabama
Sunday, March 21, 2021 It was a 1.5 hour drive to Somerville, Alabama to visit my cousin. It was noon when we got there. Standing in the doorway, talking, their beagle got out. Although she is fairly old, she likes to travel. I think there is a dog down the street that she would like…
