The Dog House

Supposed to have all the convinces of Home except for a BATHROOM!
These Two pulled in Tuesday night and left Wednesday morning. Can you believe these things. I think who ever was building these things got busy doing something else and forgot to finish the other half. I hope they only paid half price. The White one is bigger than the Silver and Red one.
The silver one was parked right next to us. They are from Canada. I don't think Sonny and I could get in there at the same time. The Dog house is bigger than that thing. They told me their is a full MINI kitchen and a queen size bed in the Silver one, yea right. They were the size of Sonny and I, small people, LOL. You know there is no room for each to call, this is my space. These things are no bigger than a walk in closet. Fine to hide in if you are playing hide and seek, but not to live in. Even for a week end and they have been to Florida and heading home. Don't you know they will feel like they live in a mansion when they get home.


This is Judy isn't she cute. Well I think its a she. I don't see antlers.
This is a Home for something. I might not want to know. Where I walked out to take the photo of Mts. I was on a deck and as I turned to walk back this is just over the edge. I didn't take time to take the long distance lens off just snapped and left.

This is some of our new friends we meet at park. There was three but the other one was camera shy. This is in the park also we saw 6. But the first ones by the time I got my camera on the car stopped Molly to stop barking and Lucy off her Daddys head, well they were history.

Pipestem State Park

Monday afternoon we went to Pipestem SP which is just a mile up the road. It is beautiful there. This is a couple of views from the highest pull off. Sorry I don't know Elevation, somewhere around 2600 Ft. Just look at the different elevations. Would you say we are in the Mts.

This is a little information of the Bridge. You can double click on any of the pictures to make them bigger.

Please pray for us we have three days of rain coming at us to start tonight. They say not all day each day BUT SOME. And this place doesn't need any. There is a pontoon boat just over from us. And I am keeping my eye on it. Till next time God Bless each of you.


Another walk out.

You can see the railroad to the right of picture.


This is called New River Gorge Bridge. I am going to have trouble going West this is only 2300 feet and we will be 7000 feet an more in some places. This was scary I WENT ACROSS THAT THING!!! O my it is a awesome thing. We are at the visitors center look out and maybe its good I couldn't see anymore than this because I had to go back across that THING.
There was spots along hwy 20 to stop and take pictures.

This is at the Grandview overlook. We aren't as close as it looks, using a Telephoto lens.
Went site seeing yesterday. We wanted to see New River Gorge. They say the name New River is not an accurate description because it may be one of the oldest Rivers in North America. It was inaccessible along the whole length until 1873 when the railroad this isolated part of WV.
Whitewater rafting is big business all along the river.
We are now in Pipestem, WV. Don't look for it, you cant here from anywhere. The swamp monster just dropped us off and forgot to take us with him. The gravel under us was put on top of a heavy black screen to keep it from disappearing into the marsh. You step on the ground and sink in mud. I can make you a RSVP, who is first. The only thing right now the campground has going for it is the owners are very friendly, I mean friendly. We have learned if you see him you turn and go back in or plan on a family history lesson that takes at least an hour. These pictures don't do the place justice. LOL The trailer in front that has the door open has three different kinds of underpinning

At the end of this street is where they put us but we couldn't level and that is a backhoe you see trying to fix a water leak so that means no one has water except on the ground. I haven't heard from you yet. Aren't you coming?
This is the Park that we were at in Charlotte, Carowind Camp Wilderness Resort. Its a paramount Park. It was wonderful paved pads and roads. We didn't know what was to come the next week.

Sonny and his cousin Gary Cox and his Son Parker. We meet them at OCharlies, Garys wife had a meeting so she couldn't come. It was so good to see Gary again. He lives in Granites Quarry.
Its called The Building now you know as much as I do. It is in downtown Salisbury and typical of all the shops.

This is the Train Depot. Looks like it should be in New Mexico rather than in NC.
We have now moved to Charlotte, NC and this was taken as we drove to Salisbury To meet a Cousin of Sonnys. We had some time so we enjoyed seeing the area




This is our little Auburn Tiger.
See I told you it got better, but I have got to tell you they have more money tied up in this bridge then anything else is park. We walked around and around this pond.

This is the only wild life we saw here. Because the Campground is encircled by subdivisions one behind is a very expensive area, for the most part all they look at is the lake that they cant get to.

Beverly Hillbillys

This is the Office at our first RV RESORT. Wood Smoke Family Campground in Irmo, SC and it gets better, just wait.

This is the Laundry and outhouse! See the chair that is the Husband in waiting chair or could be time out chair. Molly says this check this out what is it.
