Really On The Move Now

Yeah, I know the last post was titled On The Move, and while it was true, now that we have met our obligations in Atlanta and have moved up the road to North Carolina, we are really on the move.  I want to share a few more pictures of Talona Ridge to show how beautiful it is, and the view, amazing!





Our first evening that we arrived was overcast and quickly turned to rain and lasted through the whole next day, making it perfect to hunker down, watch the weather move in and out on the mountains, catch a movie, read a bunch, and have wonderful Chicken Pho for dinner.



Our schedule after that rain day was full.  Our friend's John and Dianne came up and we met for lunch, then we all went up to our site and sat outside on a glorious day, enjoyed the view, the companionship, and drinks and cigars.  The next day was a big dentist day, cleanings for both of us, and Jan finally, finally after 3 1/2 years got her permanent crown!  We finished up the day with a nice lunch out, and since it was another beautiful day thoroughly enjoyed the 50 plus mile drive.  Followed by a nice evening, happy hour, Jan made a Sticky Pork Belly bowl, delish, and a beautiful sunset.





John and Dianne surprised us with an invitation to come down and spend the night at their place on Wednesday, and then on our way back we could go to our dermatologist appointments.  We had a wonderful time, excellent food and steaks for dinner, super bourbon and topped it off with cigars and a fire.  Wonderful time and so good neither of us took even one picture:-(

After our doctor appointments we stopped at a BBQ place, Williamson Brothers, a place we hadn't been to for at least 15 years and enjoyed a delicious lunch and enough for a second lunch the next day:-)  I guess we'll have to make it less than 15 years in the future.




It rained on and off our last day, but we were able to enjoy our last evening HH, hunkered down in between the truck and motorhome, still with a view though:-)

I had rotated the truck tires while in Florida, but they seemed to be a little bit cupped on the front, comes from towing a lot, but we were surprised to find we had put more than 5000 miles on since, so before we left I went to a very nice Mom and Pop tire shop in Ellijay and had them rotated.  The forecast was for a bunch of rain for our short 50 mile drive, but it wasn't raining, so off we went to try to beat it.  Jan drove separately, didn't seem worth hooking up for the short drive to only unhook as soon as we got there, Peachtree Cove in Murphy, NC, one of our favorite small campgrounds.  But Murphy in Murphy I guess, brought on the rain only 7 miles out, so now our pristine washed and waxed coach is dirty again and will remain so for quite some time until we get somewhere that will let us wash, and we are afraid it won't be until the very end of June!

We are here for 6 nights and hope to get some fishing in.  Here we are in our rainy spot.



Stay tuned!
