they drove on

Below: While driving on Interstate
81 through Virginia in their RV, the two RV Gypsies saw 3 Crosses and
2 USA Flags near Exit 296. So Karen Duquette quickly snapped a photo through
the window of their moving RV. The crosses were erected by a large church
along Route 55. Later, Karen read that the church was recently sold, but
you might be able to drive there and get a closer look at this proud display
behind the building. The two RV Gypsies were in their RV, not their tow
car, so they were unable to try to get closer. |

Below: At various points along
the way in Virginia, Karen Duquette photographed several water towers
that caught her eye. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies arrived
at North Fork Resort Campground in Front Royal, Virginia. They came here
to visit a friend who was initially available, but due to sudden circumstances
in their lives, the two RV Gypsies soon learned that they were not going
to be able to see their friends during this trip. |

Below: After checking in at
the guard station, the two RV Gypsies noticed that the entry road was
paved, but it was very narrow with small ditches on each side. That could
be a problem if two RVs met at the same time. But since check-in and check-out
times determine which way and when the RVs will travel, an RV usually
only meets cars while entering or exiting the campground. |

crossing inside the campground, that has obviously not been used in quite
a long time. |

 |
Below: At the beginning, roads
were paved, but NOT in the section that the two RV Gipsies were assigned.
The paved road are are often for long-term and permanent RVs in most campgrounds. |

 |
Below: The pools for the campground,
which the two RV Gypsies did not use. The weather was hot enough, but
the two RV Gypsies are usually too busy exploring the area to use the
pools. By the time they return each evening to their RV, the pools are
usually closed. |
 |
Below: The site that the two
RV Gypsies were assigned and as usual it was a dirt and gravel site, as
was the adjoining road. |
 |
 |
Below: While taking pictures
of the campsite, Karen Duquette noticed her very long-legged shadow on
the roadway. So of course, she took a photo. She wishes she did have longer
legs. |
 |
Below: It is a good thing that
the two RV Gypsies seldom, if ever, use the picnic table at their site
because they are usually not in good condition. Plus they are usually
located right next to their neighbor's sewer connection, which is disgusting.
And some campgrounds ask that visitors do not move the picnic tables. |

campsite of the two RV Gypsies. There was a catch-and-release fishing
pond, but Karen Duquette did not photograph that. |
