Travel: Lake Greenwood to Statesville, NC

View Larger Map

Thursday, May 24, we departed beautiful Lake Greenwood for Statesville, NC. Weather was great, making travel smooth. We decided to avoid Charlotte and the preliminary NASCAR activities, so headed up to I-40 at Gastonia, then across that familiar road to the KOA east of Statesville.


It was good to come in on Thursday, for we easily got into our site, and were set up. A few others came in, but Friday was when the park was really busy! We were glad to be already set up, and able to sit and watch the show! The park is full for the holiday weekend.


We have a very nice site, with a patio, patio furniture and a bench. The patio needed cleaning, as it was obvious that they had had a hard rain earlier! Water had flowed down our site, across the patio, leaving good old North Carolina dirt across the patio! Lindy loosened the dirt so it could dry with the rake, then we swept it off the patio.

We do not receive good satellite reception---ummm, could it be because of that huge tree...? Fortunately, our antenna gets great reception of several local channels. It is interesting to view local news channels. Here, a KKK rally scheduled to be held in Harmony (good choice, no?!) just north of us this Memorial Day weekend was rescheduled for a town just across the border in Virginia.


Later!
