Jameson Inn Martinsville

Our Danville, VA show was supposed to be abysmal. We had to load in early, because the space was so bad. Thursday night, after we did venue run, we received the most glorious phone call ever. Due to the bad weather, and flooding throughout VA, our Friday show was cancelled!!<br><br>YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! !<br><br>I can't tell ...

... pay for his slot so that he could just pull straight in. It&#8217;s ok they assured me &#8211; "let him pay for himself, we&#8217;re open 'till 7". We had got one of those huge pizza&#8217;s for a snack when he arrived, I think they are about 16&#8221; but they seem more like 3ft diameter. Betsy cut a couple of portions to cook for us as Larry had said he had already eaten on the road (dirty habit that&#8230;). Whilst we were eating ...

... Sheriff's car hidden behind a slight hill.   He started following us with his blue lights flashing.   We pulled over and Sylvain and I started to have flashbacks from what we will refer to here only as "The Gloucester incident."  He said he radared me at 83 mph and Sylvain at 81 mph. We handed him our papers and he asked how long Sylvain was going to be in the country.  I said, "only another week, until we get to Mexico - we have been planning this trip ...

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 ...

... have eaten a small plate of each! <br><br>Just as we had been told by someone further south on the Parkway, once we crossed into Virginia, the landscape was dominated by rolling hills and valleys rather than the rugged mountains of North Carolina. As it was Sunday there were a lot of people out for a drive and a picnic, including a fair number in classic cars. When we stopped briefly to look around the shop at Mabry Mill, we got chatting to a lady called Doris and ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

I'm sitting in my breathing room. I'm breathing. Kate is on her way across southern India. We'll meet in Bangkok at midnight 28 November. But there is much I don't know. For instance, How will we get to Cambodia for Christmas? Will I be able to buy a ticket to Manila in January? Where will we be in February? How far into Indonesia will we make it, if at all? Then I remember that I won't have to figure out ...

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 ...
