Jack and Angie left for Asheville by noon the day before. Bob and I continued getting ready for our trip east. Both of us had already gotten a head start on Saturday, and since this was not our first rodeo or road trip, we were getting pretty good at packing up what we needed. By Monday morning, we were ready to hit the road. We originally planned to make the trip in 2 days, but Bob was concerned about one of the trailer tires, so we found a tire shop in Elkin, NC, and arranged to get a new tire, to be on the safe side. Good thing we did, because Bob noticed another of the rv tires was low because there was a nail in it, so we had that repaired as well. It was a small and very busy shop, so it took about 2.5 hours for them to take care of us. By then it was late afternoon and starting to rain, so we decided to stop for the night at a Passport America park, Fancy Gap Campground and Cabins, on the Blue Ridge Parkway off exit 8 on I-77.
I was concerned that Bob wouldn't back up too far into the site...it was a bit of a drop to the woods below. Within a hour after stopping, the fog was so thick you couldn't see outside the windows.
Before getting back on the interstate the next rainy morning, we stopped for breakfast at a little diner that had recently opened up in an old gas station/garage. All the décor was auto related. The light hanging down behind Bob's head was made from two license plates bent together and strung from a hub cap.
