One More Look.....

Happy Sunday afternoon all.   We got back home about one this afternoon, and at this point, we've eaten lunch, the laundry is nearly done, Levi has been unloaded and washed, and Pod has been unloaded as well.  Pod may or may not get washed this afternoon too, just depends.  We're in the process of getting a few things done to be ready for the school week ahead.

But to wrap up this fun weekend trip, here are a few pictures from this morning's drive along the Parkway.....







Wishing everyone a great week ahead, and as always.....

Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T&J.

Where You Are is Where You're At......

Happy Saturday evening everyone.  It's been a great day up here in the high country of North Carolina.  As most of you have already figured out, we're camping at Raccoon Holler Campground, in Glendale Springs, NC.

Our day has included cooking breakfast, driving in to West Jefferson to get our t-shirt and sticker fix, a quick trip by Lowes, lunch at Freebornes, a ride along the Blue Ridge Parkway, an afternoon nap, sitting by a real campfire, cooking country ribs in the CDO for supper, more BRP riding, seeing deer, turkey, and who knows what else, and finally, settling in for a quiet evening in Pod.  

As for the title to our blog, "Where You Are is Where You're At" came about during our evening drive.  We discussed our parents, how looking after them consumes a lot of our time and energy, also Trisha talked about her mom's battle with cancer and what the past six months have been like for her since her mom's passing.  We even talked about spots where we wanted our ashes spread when that day comes to pass too.  

So we realized as we rode along, that indeed, where we are right now, is where we happen to be for just this moment.  Tomorrow we'll be somewhere else with all of it's good and not so good moments.  So we'll just enjoy the good, endure the less good, and take lots and lots of pictures along the way. 

And speaking of pictures, here's a few for you to enjoy this evening.....















Thanks for checking by today.  We've had a great Saturday camping, and he hope each of you found yourself doing something equally enjoyable on this day.

Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T,&J.

Where Are We?? Why Camping of Course......

Happy Friday evening everyone.  We hope this has been a great day for each of you and that you have a good weekend in store.  We are not at home this weekend.  In fact, we are camping, but where exactly??  

Well we're not camping where we've had plans to camp since this past November.  Life conspired against our plans for today, to keep us both busy with medical appointments and parents so by the time we were able to get away, Rob had no interest in driving two plus hours on the interstate through the Charlotte to Spartanburg corridor.  

But, we are camping, plan B, but camping.  It's been a little rainy today, but not bad.  Where are we camping?  Well here's a hint.  

This is the view of the sunset from the back of our campsite......

















So now you know the what, tomorrow evening we'll fill you in on the where.

Until next time, stay safe out there.....-R,T,&J.
