P-Nutty's First Adventure.....

Happy evening everyone!  My name's P-Nutty.  I was living at the gift store at the top of Grandfather Mountain, when Mr. R asked if I'd like to join Team R&T.  He told me I'd have all sorts of fun adventures.  In fact he said in about two weeks, I'd be going to a place called Goshen, IN to a F.R.O.G. rally.  I said sure, and as they say, "the rest is history!"

I really think I'm gonna like hanging with Mr. R and Mrs. T.  Heck, Mr. R even let me do this evenings blog post.....


He even said if I was good at it, he'd think about letting me have my own blog!   So everyone has to tell him what they think of my blogging.

We started out our day in a drizzly sort of rain.  I jump right up on the dash of Truck and checked out the GPS....


Then it was off to Black Mountain NFS Campground to check it out.  Mr. R and his cousin Ms. S just fell in love with the place and have already planned a trip for next July.  It will be without hookups, but the campground has hot showers.  They said they could figure out the rest.  I told them I was game for the adventure...


The we were off to Mt. Mitchell.  We drove on a Forest Service road for about five miles and saw some beautiful scenery.  Mr. R took bunches of pictures and he said he'd blog them in the next day or so.


The Forest Service Road dumped us out on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Mr. R's favorite by-way from what I've been told my Mrs. T and Ms. S).  From there it was a short trip to Mt. Mitchell State Park.  We drove all the way to the top, where we took a few pictures, checked out the gift store, and read all about the history of the area in the museum.


Wow!  I was way up in the air!!  Here's a picture of Mr. R, Mrs. T, and myself....


We then rode back down the mountain a ways, stopping at the restaurant to look around and to let the humans have a comfort stop.  I got my picture taken a couple more times....




By now it was a little past lunchtime, so we all hopped back in Truck and headed back down to the Parkway and further south to the Craggy Gardens Picnic area.  That was sure fun having a picnic using Truck's tailgate as a table....




I gotta say I really did enjoy riding in Truck today.  In fact Mr. R gave me what I think is the best seat in Truck...


Although, Mr. R said I'd have to move when he was drinking a coke or a bottle of water.  I told him, "no problem!"

After lunch, we rode the Parkway all the way back to the Toe River Campground exit, stopping for gas for Truck along the way.  
Once back at the campground, we all just rested, talked about today's adventures, and Mr. R and Ms. S upload and compared pictures.  Wow, they sure do take a lot of pictures.  

One thing Mr. R has done this week is buy several stickers for his sticker collection.  I was checking out the stickers on the back of Pod....


That sure is a lot of stickers, and that's not all of them by a long shot.  I really, really think I'm gonna enjoy traveling with Mr. R and Mrs. T!  I suspect it's even more fun when Ms. S is along on their adventures.

Well I've had a big day, and I know I'm going to sleep good tonight.  In the morning we pack-up and head home.  Just imagine, a real home of my very own, and not some dumb old gift store.  I'm so excited just thinking about it.  Mr. R said to thank everyone for  checking by today.

Until next time, stay safe out there.....- P-Nutty.
