I'll be there tomorrow afternoon sometime. About 2 hours away in Wytheville VA right now. Earlier start I could have made it today, but never intended to do that.
Wake up in the morning and heading towards White Sulphur Springs to see if I can get in that tour of the Greenbrier Bunker. Then probably Lost World Caverns on the way over to the campground.
Google shows about 9 hours from my house to the campground. Based on remaining driving time (here to camp, not other stops) it took 9 hours to drive the first 7 of that. Traffic through Columbia and Charlotte sucked. I should have stopped for the night about an hour earlier in Mt Airy. Not that I cared about seeing Mayberry, but I think I missed some nice mountain scenery in the dark after that.
Really I need to figure out the rules for rest areas, and what other places are good to overnight on the road. If I can get this camper setup right for it, and overnight is allowed, I could just stop at one and sleep for a few hours on trips like this. Camper isn't set up for that (yet), wasn't sure about the rules, and too late to find a campsite, so in a hotel for the night.
