Making our way to Washington DC

As so it begins! We left home on April 8th around 11AM, a record for us. We took 5 days to get to our base campground, Cherry Hill Park. This Fantasy tour rally was booked for 2020 but with covid and life it has finally come to fruition. Day 1: Country Oaks Campground, Kinsgland GA. This Good Sam's campground is located just off the interstate. We took 301 but got on I-95 for the last ten miles. We had a nice pull trhu site. This is a small RV camp in the woods with campsite in a circle. Our site # 9.

Day 2: Big Rig Friendly RV Park, located in West Columbia,SC. This is a new park in Phase 2 with 2 more planned. Most sites are all pull thru and at least 70 feet long with 20/30/50 amp on both sides. It will be very nice when complete but for now, it's just sites.
Day 3: Dan Nichols Park, Salisbury NC. We made a stop here to see my Aunt and Uncle, both in their 80's. We have stayed here many times when we visit our NC Family. We picked a pull-thru site but we could not get level so we found a back-in that I believe to be the best site there, #11.
Day 4: Lee Hi Campground, Lexington VA. Once again, we have stayed here. It is a TA truck stop with a campground on a hill that overlooks the truck stop. Nothing fancy, but meets our needs: a safe place to stay, gas and a store.   And no, it is not noisy as one would expect with all those trucks.



Day 5: We arrived at Cherry Hill Park for our rally. This is a very nice campground! Our site #1604
