Initially we were planning to pull out today, Monday, but after reading the weather reports and checking on traffic conditions, we left on Sunday afternoon. It was a messy start to the trip. The rain just wouldn't stop and we got quite wet doing the final packing and hooking up the Jeep. Our plan was to drive as far as we could and then park overnight at a Walmart or truck stop. Unfortunately we ran into heavy fog near Fancy Gap, VA and had to pull into a KOA campground. It was about 9:00 by then. Things got a little stressful because the fog was so thick that we could hardly see more than 10 feet in front of us. Michael said it was like driving blindfolded. After maneuvering the RV very carefully around the campground to a site we had chosen, we saw it was already taken. Oops! This campground is one way in and one way out so there was no way we could circle back around and find another spot. We ended up having to unhook the Jeep so Michael could back up and get into a different site. Isaiah and I helped guide him in using the Jeep headlights and Isaiah's trusty pocket flashlight. I'm sure the other campers there had a few laughs at our expense. We definitely didn't look like we knew what we were doing.
So, after a decent night's sleep, we got up and got back on the road to Washington DC. The weather is much better today, cool and cloudy but no rain. Thank the Lord!
We will be staying at Cherry Hill Campground just north of DC for the next few days.
