Hospital ER

Really not a lot to report on for yesterday.
I wasn't any better yesterday morning. So this being the fourth day feeling bad I got up  took a shower and headed to the hospital ER.
The first thing they ask me was, have I been out of the country?  I think that is the procedure these days.
After seeing the doctor he said he was ordering up a few things. An EKG, blood work. They said I was dehydrated so in went the IV with the drip, drip. After an hour or an hour and a half in comes the doctor to tell me he was prescribing me some high power anti-diarrhea medicine. He also said to be careful how I take it or it would plug me up.
I thought I was feeling pretty good after laying in the hospital for four hours but walking to the car was a chore.  After getting back to the motorhome I was on the bed sleeping off and on the rest of the evening.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

feeling lousy

After our showers yesterday we put everything away, unhooked the electric.  Then it was time to go across the road to dump the tanks and fill the fresh water tank.
We got to the Walmart in Princeton, West Virginia where Mark was waiting to pick up Sherry before we went to Callie's. But first we went to Bob Evans to eat a bite. After eating it was back to the motorhome to get the rest of the things Sherry had on board. After saying our goodbyes it was off to Callie's. 
The drive way at Callie's is at an angle so I have the stack a lot of lumber to get the motorhome level.
 I've been fighting a stomach cramp and the rest that goes with is for three days now and it doesn't seem to be getting better

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Goodbye Stony Fork

The great grandkids had a ball playing in the creek here at Stony Fork Campground.

Kind of reminds of when I was growing up. We had no pool, only the creek and river.

Turn them loose with a box of chalk and here is what you get.
They left yesterday, but not before Nancy and I got our goodbye hugs and kisses.
Today we will be going to Princeton, West Virginia to visit Nancy's sister Callie for a few day.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Repairs and hotdogs

Yesterday was another repair day,
I started to open one of the bays and the lever just swung out freely.  I knew what had happened as this has happened at least four times before. The small trigger that is in the latch is made out of the easy broken white metal.  So out comes the aluminum flat bar that I carry for just this. After sawing, filing and drilling the new part was made.  I put it back together to work again. I keep saying that I'm going to renew all the triggers before they break. But you know how that goes.
Also the three great grandchildren had a fun day here at Stony Fork Campground.   They got to play in the creek that runs through the park and afterwards we had a hotdog roast.  Later in the evening they watched cartoons on the tv.
It was a great day with all the children.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.       

Taking a walk

We are enjoying our time here at the Stony Fork Campground.

We have a nice large back in site, complete with a picnic table, grill and lantern post.
Sherry and I have been taking a walk around the circle of sites.

Bigfoot Hunters van.

We were joined in our walking the other evening by a guy named Larry Davis an interest person.  He said he lived in Gibsonton, Florida at one time.  I asked if he was a "Carny" he said yes he did that for a while. He has been a Bigfoot Hunter for the last 34 years. He also said he has seen four of them.
Sherry's daughter Dee and her three children came up from Rogersville, Tennessee to spend a couple of days with us. The next few days should be interesting.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Stony Fork

Yesterday saw us leaving the Mayberry Campground in Mt Airy, North Carolina. The town that the Andy Griffith with his deputy Barney made famous. Even though it was raining hard we still made a quick drive around tour of the town so Sherry could see some of the spots made famous.  But not before we had our usual dinner at the Hungry Farmer Restaurant.  Which is located north on route 52 six mile out of Mt Airy.  This is one of the friendlies place you would want eat. It is buffet style with country cooking including hog jowls.

The drive was really going well.

That is until for some reason the traffic really slowed down.
But we did make it to Stony Fork Campground in the Jefferson National Forest.  We will be here for a few days before moving on.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Old Salem

Yesterday we left the Walmart in Lexington, North Carolina were we overnighted and drove the short distance to Winston Salem.  Sherry was excited about seeing old Salem town.

Nancy said it would be to hard on her to do all the walking so she stayed at the Welcome center while Sherry and I did a walk around looking at the old buildings.

 

Sherry and I both enjoyed the time here.

Here is the Gun Shop. 

 The large barn with the hay loft

 

 that was built with out nails. It is held together with wooden pegs.

Even wood pegs in the floor.

Sherry pumping up some water with the old hand pump.
We had fun and another nice day of sight-seeing.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

 

Country Roads

Yesterday was about the same as we were traveling the back roads again.

 

Of course it seems as though they are always working on the roads how can the roads need to be in such bad shape.

We stopped at a road side farmers wagon for fresh picked strawberries, tomatoes and cucumbers.
We had strawberry shortcake last night, they were sweet and delicious. Sherry just had to have a photo with the tractor.

This is one place we didn't do any sampling. We passed at least four of these wineries

We put quite a few miles in yesterday so we could be close to Winston Salem and a tour of Old Salem.  Sherry is enjoying the trip so much.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

 

Nice day

Yesterday afternoon we left Lake Sinclair and started the journey north.

The two lane roads took us through the town of Edgefield, SC.

We have passed through towns that had horse statues, but this town had turkey's all over the place.

We took a couple of turns in Edgefield to check ot the old houses.

The Turkey Shoppe.

It was a good traveling day.  We saw several nice small towns.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Auto trouble

After being at Cain's Campground for a few day we left and are now at Lake Sinclair National Forest Campground.

 

We have a site with 50 amp electric and water hook ups.  There is also a dump station.
Everything has been gong good up until today.  I don't know if its because its Friday the 13th or what.  We went to Milledgeville to do the laundry and by a few groceries. First I stopped to fill up with fuel at Kroger then went into the store to get laundry detergent.  When I came out I started the car shifted out of park and that's when things went wrong. I could tell the shift lever was to easy to be changing the transmission gears and I didn't go anywhere. I looked for a while and saw the cable working but the transmission lever was not moving after checking the cable had broken.
So I called the Good Sam Emergency Roadside service and any way it will be Monday before the car is ready to go from the Chevrolet Service. In the mean time we will drive a rental auto.
Oh We have no wifi at the park so it will be a few days being back on line.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Cain's Creekside RV Park

Yesterday we moved from the Walmart lot and went north on I-75 to exit 29 where the small town of Hahira is located. Just a short distance north of town is Cain's Creekside RV Park. This is a nice Passport America Park.  After leveling up, hooking the water, electric and sewer hose it was back to see Jeremy, Allison and the kids Jeremy grilled some fantastic pork chops and with a couple of sides we had another good meal.

Nancy and I stayed visiting until the gang of them was off to a church basketball game.
After getting back to the motorhome we did some computing then watched a little television.

The view out of the front window of the small lake and the setting sun in the distance was relaxing after a good meal and better visiting with the children.  A great day indeed.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
