Best Western Martinsville

... the elation my cast and I felt upon hearing this news. A long weekend, is just what we needed. Not that Danville, VA is a happening place to be, but it was restful, and had a mall next door for those who wanted to shop. Also, the hotel was nice, clean, and comfy... what more could we ask for.<br><br>...and Saturday, we're off to D.C. It's a good weekend :)<br>

... drive down near Charlotte (NC) and now he really did want to share some camping with us as his motorhome has just been in storage for a while. We were going to meet up about halfway between here and his house, so a fairly short trip for both of us &#8211; about 150miles each. <br><br>We pulled into the campsite, Lake Ridge RV (resort &#8211; no less), Hillsville, Virginia, at about lunchtime, asking for a pitch that would allow Larry ...

Wee got up at around 7:30 and had a nice breakfast with good coffee and waffles with Lisa and Barry.  The QB was still sleeping soundly in his rocker. We rolled out of Alexandria and again took mostly backroads, using US Route 29 to travel through Virginia.  We passed through Culpeper.   We stopped at Golden Corral steak house  where we had an all you can eat steak buffet for $9.99.  We were stuffed and the shocks on the bikes was a little more pressure on ...

We left New Jersey around 8:30 am and arrived at Floyd's Country Store around 6.00 pm. We stopped here because it is on Virginia's Crooked Road. The store sells mostly tourist items and snack type food . On Fridays they have music and dancing, hoedown style. And, if the weather permits there is ...

... and swimwear. It's hard to believe that we were wearing these things only one week ago and now we're glad of our gloves! <br><br>Once the bag was re-secured we went back across to the visitor centre where the musicians had begun to play. Bluegrass music is very distinctive with fiddles being the prominent sound and it was good to see that the tradition for playing this style of music is being continued and encouraged. Mel has to admit though, that all the songs sounded ...

... isn't a whole lot to say about this one I'll just let the pictures do the talking. It was here that I spotted my next climb. So far no one had gone out on this ledge so I though I'd see what it was like. What I got was my favorite picture of the day and an unobstructed view for miles. It was amazing.

Today we drove to and through the pretty mountain state of Virginia. We had some beautiful views of the dark green rolling Appalachian Mountains from the interstate. We stopped near a small Virginia town called Basset to get a couple of minor warranty jobs done of the 5th wheel, at a place called Econo RV. The guys there were very helpful & friendly. They made us come inside to the cool (air conditioning...lovely) and gave the kids 'sodas' and told us ...

After spending all yesterday in transit, Mom picked me up in Greensboro, NC for the drive to their house in Martinsville, VA. We stayed up a bit later while I unpacked one luggage and gave her some gifts from the trip I haven't quite figured out what it means to be done with traveling for now. One observation I made in CA was that I hadn't felt dirty or even the slightest bit sweaty in days! Not sweating, getting food out of the fridge and ...

Ah...the month of April, summer is almost here. I love the warm weather, and quite honestly I am very ready for it! After being in Florida for almost a month, it is hard to come back to this cold weather! We only had one show today though, in Danville, VA, so that was nice, I don't like being out in the cold ...

Even before we went they not particularly impressed with my stories how interesting it is to see a rainbow in the middle of the night. They though I was *********ting. But then, Cumberland Falls, is a myth. They may call it the Little Niagara or the Niagara of the South but sincerely it is nowhere ...
