Mountain Glen RV Park, Pikeville, TN

 We left Two Rivers Landing RV Resort on August 9, 2021. The next stop was Mountain Glen RV Park, were we stayed from the 9th until the 15th.
Mountain Glen is a small family owned park in a very rural area.

The surrounding area is also a Mennonite community. We went to two of their produce stands and the veggies were great. At the produce stand closest to the campground, we got a loaf of sourdough bread and some oatmeal cookies fresh from the oven. Yes, they were delicious. The picture of the mums was taken at this produce stand. At the deli we got some smoked turkey, smoked ham and smoked Swiss cheese. WOW, what a great sandwich.

We went to the local General Store where Cheryl fell in love with a bentwood rocking chair. Since we live in an RV we had to leave the rocker there. We did get some fresh eggs though. We decided to take the back-roads back to the campground. These roads are mainly used by the Mennonites and their horse drawn wagons, so they are unpaved gravel/dirt. We came upon a truck pulling a wagon load of fresh cut lumber. The truck was stopped in the middle of the road because the front left wheel had broken loose from the axle. The driver decided to try and drag the trailer. Well, the axle dug into the road and in short order had stopped the truck in its tracks. This left the road mostly blocked.  The two guys in the truck unhooked the trailer and drove off. Cheryl got out and watched to keep me away from the trailer as I squeezed by. Just another adventure.

Greg went out about 2 AM to watch the Perseid meteor shower. He took photos as well. In the two included images you can see a meteor in each one. You can also see some small oblong objects, those are galaxies.

Twin Lakes RV Resort, Cumming, GA

Image
 We overnighted on the way here at GSP RV park near Greer, SC, not much to write about. We picked Twin Lakes because of the proximity to Cheryl’s mom in Canton, GA. We stayed here from October 23 - November 5. The site we were in was basically a spot on a gravel parking lot. Cheryl’s mom did not know we were coming for a visit, so we got up Sunday morning and headed to Canton (about a 25 minute drive). Once we got to Canton we stopped and got donuts and Starbuck’s to take to Mom’s.  We sure did surprise her. When she opened the door you could tell she recognized us, but she did not understand why she was seeing us. It was a happy surprise. We had a really nice visit.  Greg went and got BBQ as Cheryl’s sister Belinda and her partner Michelle joined us. We brought Mom back to the RV, to see our home. She had not been in an RV as large as ours. It was not small like she was thinking. Greg went and got some Chinese takeout for us and it was ok. We are still looking for some g...

Happy Holiday RV Resort, Rapid City SD

Image
 July 14 - July 25 We had originally planned to spend two weeks at the FamCamp on Ellsworth AFB, but found this campground that was a better choice for seeing the sights without as much back and forth. This is an interesting park, we are wall to wall in our space. Our tow is parked beside us in the grass, ok'd by owners. There is a covered picnic shelter with two tables in between us and another site. Kind of unusual for us but not a problem either. Not all spaces have the covered picnic area. The trip to our site was very tight, the tree limbs rubbed the top of the coach and we went very slow because of the tightness. Not our favorite park but we've been at worse. We did use the laundry facilities so it wouldn't heat up our coach. There is a pool but we didn't use it. We had several extremely hot days (107F) and the breakers for our section tripped several times. The park is scheduled to have the electrical distribution  on this row repaired by an electrician. We turne...

Midway RV Park, Statesville, NC

 On our way to Princeton, WV for our medical appointments we stopped over at Midway RV Park for a few days. It was a nice park, the arrangement of the sites was a little strange. But it worked out. The park had a pool, a mini golf and big pillow type bouncing thing for the kids. So, this would be a fun place for kids in the summer. They had a nice little lake that was catch & release. Greg enjoyed the fishing.
