Carry me back to Ol' Virginny...

Hey folks. I am now in my beautiful home state of Virginia. We are not home yet. Won't be for a few more days (no hurry). Since my last post, I have been busy.

We WalMarted it up on the way to Kentucky; once we stayed at a parking lot next to a cornfield (guess the state---IOWA!) and then another one in Fulton, Missouri. We made it to Kentucky and stayed at a beautiful state park made from a dam called Nolin River State Park, where we stayed for 2 days to rejuvinate our batteries. We were spoiled because we had water and electric hookups. We could take "hollywood" showers until the tank filled up! Yahoo! Then we headed to West Virginia, where we stayed the past 2 nights at a pretty state park called Beech Fork State Park. We are now in a KOA in Staunton, VA. Beautiful here.

Well, as promised, here are some pics from the last download. On our way out from Mount Rushmore, we stopped and drove through an animal park. That's the only place we got our pics of the wolves and bears (from the safety of our vehicle, of course). They were really cool, though. They breed the bears in the park (some have been rescued). They have over 50 of them (black bears and 2 grizz).

So Mount Rushmore is stunning close up. Kentucky is beautiful country, too. Lots of greenery and rolling hills. It was nice to see that the fire danger was low. We caught those thunderstorms that rolled through the last 2 evenings. It just made the creek by the camper rise a little bit; no big deal. I hope all of you made it safely through that.

Enough gab; now to the pics. Back home soon! Enjoy!

Sorry, the pics are taking way too long to load now. Will try again later.
