Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

What's happening, Dave? Are ya still terrorizing the roads in the evening?

 

Oh yeah.. had to hit myself in the chest a time or two.

How are, Tim? did you ever get your SRS light figured out?

 

I think I know what it is, but have not had a chance to look at it. I tried to turn on my hazard flashers last week and they didn't work. So I think something behind it was left unplugged. And I HATE pulling the radio panel out because it is a bitch to put back in.

 

Gotcha. Never did hear if you had gotten it fixed. Was curious about it.

Other than that... All good with you?

 

Pretty much.

 

Cool.

A bud down in Alabama, is hinting about the Atlanta takeover next year. I know you missed it this year, but wondering if it's worth going to?

 

I enjoyed it when I went, and will probably go next year if my new dog is up to the task.

 

Mornin everyone. Road tripping. Any good camping suggestions in your neck of the woods?

 

Looking for campgrounds or public lands camping? Secluded or big RV park style? Lake Anna has a few spots and there's a campground next to Kings Dominion (amusement park), if you want something to do nearby...if you're looking a little closer to the water, look down the northern neck Westmoreland or New Kent County. Public lands is more along 81 out near the mountains, from what I'm familiar with.

 

We are down for anything worth while. I'm rollingg with a RTT, a gound tent, a pack, boards, shovel, air compressor, and a healthy amount of booze. Because it's kind of our make shift honeymoon road trip.

 

It'll really be dependent on your route as to what will be most accessible to you. You can come South via a few different main routes and each will lead to different camping offerings. 95/81 are major highway options providing either a straight shot just inland of the coast or through the mountains and the western part of the state respectively, 29 provides an option between the mountains and the rivers/coastal regions east of 95 or From Fredericksburg you can take 17 towards VA Beach and down along the coast. There are cool little spots along each route and other more secluded spots to jump off to out west like mountain lakes, i.e. Lake Moomaw, Smith Mountain Lake (where dirty dancing was filmed if she's into that sort of thing), Claytor Lake State park is way down SW Virginia, New River Gorge all have great camping spots. Closer to 29 you have Charlottesville area camping as well and some OHV trails you can ride up and camp at in Peter's Mill or Blue Ridge/Skyline Drive campgrounds. The ones closer to the coast are more RV parks and golf cart community campgrounds although plenty of history and stuff to see along the way.

 

Just saw your post on Tidewater Region as well...if you're headed inland there's Williamsburg/Jamestown, Richmond (James River has some great spots) Belle Isle for their booze, Charlottesville has a ton of awesome breweries and wineries through that region. This is outside Charlottesville a little ways, cool "off-road trail" leads to a 1/4 mile hike to a swimming hole 6796 Sugar Hollow Rd, Crozet, VA 22932. Natural Bridge has a cool campground and is cool to see, but an off the beaten path option is the Cascades falls outside of Blacksburg VA...about a mile hike in and a huge swimming hole at the base that is an exhilarating swim.

 

You think you will go next year? Been years since I been down that way. When is it do you know?

 

I am. Blew my main air line to the air dryer. so they brought me a Penske. Lmao. Poor 4wheelers. I had an air horn for a couple of days. Plus it was automatic. I was spoiled. No power taking off. But it was ok. Got my Mack back so now I’m happy. Lol.

So what’s been going on? I’m so busy I don’t get on here much.

 

How’s it going

 

Morning

 

Cluster this morning in the yard. Lol. So glad tomorrow is Friday.

 

My dumb butt said yes to working my weekend off, next day off will be next Wednesday

 

Put in an offer on a house out here in AR last night.
