We left home a week ago to go to my Nephew Sean's wedding in Greenville Tn. last Wed.. We got on the road only 45 minutes later than I wanted . Things went well enough till we hit DC. I forgot to add a destination on the 495 bypass and the GPS routed us thru DC proper. Happily a Capitol Police offer that barred our way understood our problem gave us us detailed directions around the detour and we were back on our way.. The 1 rest stop on I 66 is small and we ended up just shy of the access ramp back onto the highway . Did hit Pilot Truck stop in Toms Brook where we could legally park the rig and walk the girls. back on the road and hit next Pilot just south of I 64 to fill up gas tank. Then off another 100 miles to KOA at Natural Bridge VA. I was very happy that the entrance is right at the end of the off ramp no local road navigation required.
Registration took just a few minutes and we were guided to and into our site. Did a nominal hook up ie water and electric for overnight stop extended levelers and slides then gave Girls a trip to Dog Park.
Dinner was left over Chinese from the night before. Sorry Ed I only took pics of the dog park with kids playground next to it and one or two of the pull thru sites in our row
Edit add on . Todays travel was @ 285 miles and took just over 7 hours . This pace is way nicer than the pictures on it's website. The corral style fencing is part of the retaining walls to create level sites. Many of the TENT sites had the same corral style fencing enclosing 3 sides . the pool was closed but nice size.
Based on some of the advertised attractions in the area we will likely consider a longer stay in the future
