Big Oops!

Monday we went to the cemetery, then spent the rest of the day getting ready to leave Tuesday morning.  Rain was again our companion throughout most of the ride Tuesday.  We stopped near Wythesville, VA at a campsite that we hadn't stayed at before, but seemed convenient being close to I-81.  It was probably one of the worst places we have ever camped at.  The sites were tight, and vehicles were parked in the roadway.  When Bob was trying to get into our spot, he inadvertently jack-knifed the unit right into the back window of the truck, smashing the window and crunching the cab frame.  The only thing we had to patch it up was cardboard from a beer box and electrical tape.  Talk about looking like rednecks!  The camp was right under the I-81 bridge, and the noise from the traffic could be heard even inside the unit which compounded the upset about the damage to the truck, and did not make for a pleasant night's sleep.
