Northern Travels for Celebrations and Reunions June 12 -14, 2018

June is the month for high school graduations and, this year, we have 2 grandkids in Virginia graduating.  We planned to get away on Monday, June 11th, but unfortunately Tom had been sick all weekend with an upper respiratory infection and on Monday was seen at an Urgent Care facility.  After getting started on medication he was ready to start traveling  Tuesday, June 12.  We got underway by 10:25 am.  We traveled 256 miles to Savannah Oaks Resort near Savannah, Georgia arriving about 3:25 pm.  We did have some showers of rain in our travels but otherwise no other issues.

Wednesday morning, June 13, we  left the campground about 9 am making a fuel stop immediately outside the gates to fill up.  On this day we drove as far as Dillon, South Carolina, 222 miles,  stopping for the night at Bass Lake RV Park about 2:30 pm. Prior to getting to the campground we stopped in Florence, S.C. for a Walmart stop to pick up a few items and  lunch at Don Jose restaurant. We did get our propane tank filled at Bass Lake RV Park before getting situated in our campsite.

Today, Thursday, June 14, we got on the road by 9:15 am driving 209 miles to Emporia, Virginia to Jellystone Park Campground Resort. Traveling up I-95 was fairly smooth traveling until we got toward exit 171 in North Carolina.  Road construction (bridge construction) had traffic just creeping along for 10 miles when we finally crossed the border into Virginia.  We stopped at exit 4 in Virginia to refuel at a Pilot station and to stop at our favorite peanut store, The Good Earth Peanut Company We arrived at the campground about 2 pm.  We had thought in Emporia there would be some place to get lunch but we are somewhat north of the area of those businesses so I fixed a lunch.  Tomorrow we will continue on to Todd and Beth's.
