We had an overnight planned in Durham NC and after following the GPS took the scenic route thru the town to Birchwood RV Park (if you go there ask for directions and disregard the GPS). It's always an experience pushing 50 feet and 35,000# thru streets based on buggys and carts. Then off to Fort Yargo on Tuesday morning for two nights and some visits.
A beautiful state park with large spots, many of them right on the lake. We arrived too late for a lakeside site but glommed onto a super large drive thru that was excellent.
Liz's ex-husband and his wife joined us for hot dogs and wine around the fire (yeah, I know a bit strange for dinner guests) and it was a bug free evening with fine fare, good wine and great friends.
The morning after was crisp, bright and calling me to go for a ride around the lake. It was 7 miles of hills, rocks, roots and just a great ride. Took me an hour, wore me out and this loop was the easy one. Not that there wasn't a nice spot or two, the deserted beach is great place for a breather.
Off to Chateau Elan, really - a chateau in Georgia, just north of Winder, where we had a lunch and a wine tasting (try to taste 8 wines, it's hard but we did it). They import all the grapes (other than the Muscadet) from California and make all the wines on the premise. Liz's loves the grounds and the fountain and maybe the wine.
Then off to the ex's (really) for his birthday celebration and a chance to visit her daughter and grandson.
Dianne put together a great meal for the six of us, the cake was marvelous and Larry was another year older (less a day).
We thought about staying another night at Fort Yargo, but decide to plow on back home, 490 miles ugh.
