Monday arrived a little before noon, it took us a while to get settled into a site after trying out a few, I had to disconnect and reconnect the truck to get out of one of them, another first, but no dents or scratches. If I had had my chainsaw.....it would have been easier.

Tuesday the trails, overlooks and interior roads are superb. The waitress at the lodge was from Haysi, VA about 8 miles down the crooked road, we asked if they had a shopping center, she replied "we ain't got a shopping center, but we got a Dollar General". My kind of place.

Thursday today we went to lunch at the Road Kill Kafa down the road from Breaks,VA and of course I had to have the Road Kill Burger ------ the owner assured me that it wasn't coon or possum...whatever it was it was good.

Arrived Monday morning early after a 30 mile ride from Stone Mountain and there were very few empty sites that were available for a week. We had reserved site A43 from the Internet and did a fabulous job of picking a good site again. In the afternoon we went to the laundromat, the air conditioned one with the wanted poster on the door. While waiting for the clothes we walked next door to the hot rod shop an was very impressed.

Wednesday morning we moved from A43 a 30 amp site to B71 a 50 amp site because of low voltage.

Thursday we went for a couple hour walk from the dam, then rode to Vanderpool's in Boone to visit Jim & Joanne, John & Lu went to the Mellow Mushroom for lunch. Rained on the way home.

Sunday it has been raining the last few days late in the afternoon so we haven't been walking the nice trail between the campground and the dam, but around and around the park interior roads. Today we went in town and walked on the Yadkin Greenway and other parts of it that are complete.

Monday May 19 We arrived here around 11:00 am and I am impressed by this NFS campground, has everything except TV. The shower will blow you away the water pressure is so strong. My air card signal is as strong as it gets, it has a stronger signal than at home.
The trails that we have walked on were rather nice.

Wednesday May 21 There are 2 nice trails that leave from the campground a 1 mile and a 5 mile. The 5 mile, 7 Sisters trail runs along Little Walker Mt. an easy way to see the terrain is to click the picture which takes you to the album, then click view map.

This afternoon we did the laundry in Wytheville, when we returned Jack Wellington our neighbor invited me over to share his fire, Jack worked at Martin years ago. Later on when I was cooking the chicken David the camp host stopped by to chat, David a local boy from the next county over, he was telling me how dry it was here last year, he said he had gone fishing in the river and caught a nice channel cat, about 30" long and it had 4 ticks on it.
