Vacation Day 5 – Moving Day. We left the southern portion of the George Washington National Forest and headed north and into West Virginia. Just after setting up camp and eating a thunderstorm hit us, everyone hid in their camps, Sam, Deb and I played cards when the rain and wind stopped suddenly, the pressure changed and the rain fly was trying to lift straight up off the tent? Very strange…. oh yeah, Sam won several games of Crazy 8 in a row!

Vacation Day 1 – A foggy on top Brush Mountain deep in the George Washington National Forest, in fact only 1 truck passed our site in 3 days.

Camping with Beth and Jim mean you do things like, I wonder if this leads to a overlook as we bush wack through head high brush.

It didn’t, but at least there were butterflies.

Camping with Beth and Jim also mean you eat well – dessert? Bananas Foster flambe.

the tide was perfect for shell hunting

 

Then over to the lighthouse

We cooked dinner and watched the sunset

Shrimp boats

Then we headed back to find a place to camp for our 6:30am ferry.

Well crap, thunderstorm warning, lightning, and wind. We slept (or tried) in the truck cab till about 12:30am and gave up and set-up the Flippacs.

The problem with Spring Break in early March

yep snow in South Carolina

and saying goodbye to Steph…. twice.

We dropped her off at Charlotte and drove away, we had checked the flight during lunch and all was good… then to find out a 2 hour delay in Charlotte meant she would miss her connection and no hope of a later flight, so we turned around and drove her to Greensboro, and a later flight, but hopefully she gets home tonight!
