Not perfect you say? Well, it thinks Sapphire NC is at the end of a small Lake surrounded by gravel roads. And it also thinks that the best way to get to Sapphire is by running down obscure County lanes that are possibly: blocked by logging trucks, playing banjo music from strange looking trees.
I drove from KY to NC today and all went pretty well until Google thought that a turn onto Bee Sting (or was it Stink?) road was a good idea. That road was closed and I kept going to find another route. Google was pretty good at that, but listening to Jack Reacher novels and being in areas that excited the baser imaginations was not conducive to comfort.
But a burger and a couple of stouts has set things right, and I'm doing OK.
Last night the KOA was pretty loud even with ear plugs. The terrain is hilly and the interstate noise rolled up the hill all night long. It didn't seem to bother the cows or the roosters or the sheep. Lots of interesting noises last night.
Speaking of noises out of the ordinary, the Boy Scouts dropped in about 7. Set up until 9 then went off for food. "Arby's! Yeah!" I heard one cry out. They were gone by 6 am and I was by 7:30.
Lots of condensation and some of the gear is wet. I'll haul out and dry tomorrow.
That's all. I've connected with the Grimes and all is well.

You planned your trip perfectly to meet up with the Grimes clan. Enjoy the mountains.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It will be fun to hang with them.
ReplyDeleteAlso when it comes to campgrounds uphill (or an apartment on the 20th floor) from the noise source, it's good to remember that noise goes uphill.
