I went in the water anyway, but there weren't many others doing the same. Kind of makes you wonder. . . . The wildflower photos are just lovely Sherry.

I don't believe Dad would have called that a wasp...but what do I know?! ;) The flower painting was excellent - wonder who the person was who painted that. Lovely that you have a site that has at least easy water access; I think you picked the 'better' of the two campgrounds.

There was only one loop, and we were never able to get one of those prime sites on the lake. If by some chance you talk to the park superintendent, Dale, tell him hello for us. He is an old friend of Jim's from high school and a very nice guy.Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-75918522390758561712013-04-30T10:59:00.832-04:002013-04-30T10:59:00.832-04:00Sounds to me like you and David will love it there...Sounds to me like you and David will love it there.

I took David's word for the wasp but now he says that's not what he said. HA! :-) <br /><br /> Heyduke, Virginia has a lot of fine things to do and see especially history. 3 President's homes within 30 minutes of each other and 4 if you count the Woodrow Wilson Birth place in Staunton. If you are coming up 81 be sure to see the cute town of Abingdon and Hungry Mother State Park. The Carter Family Fold is also in the area.<br /><br />When we stay in the Charlottesville area we stay on a street in Charlottesville or in the farm barnyard so we aren't too familiar with the RV parks in the area but know there are only 2. I have never personally been to either one. Suppose I should do that.<br /><br />The first one is a KOA. I haven't had good experience personally with KOA but I've heard good things about the one in Charlottesville. I've never seen it and would call about directions to get there as it is not right off the interstate but rather off a county road. <br /><br />The other is Misty Mountain in Crozet about 12 miles away from Charlottesville and less than that to the Shenandoah National Park. It is close but not too close to I64. Not sure if it is passport america but people like its location and ease of access.<br /><br />About 30 miles to the east and toward Richmond and near James Madison's home is Small Country Campground in Louisa. I've heard good things about this one and it too is PPA. Hope this helps.<br />Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-58149798099724692192013-04-30T10:24:05.339-04:002013-04-30T10:24:05.339-04:00Another nice Florida park.
