Follow Us In Our Travels

Monday, 08/13/2012: We got reservations at Mathews Arm Campground in the Shenandoah National Park for 6 nights, 8/15 through the 21st. We plan on going to Luray for the Civil War re-enactment on the 18th and 19th. There are no hookups there, but they do have water we can fill and a dump station. We can use the generator a couple of hours during the day. Hopefully it will be nice outside. There are strict warnings to keep your food put away as there are bear and other animals around.

We're still in Harrisonburg right now, will head to Luray tomorrow probably. We were at Walmart but went to Lowe's this morning to get better internet. Thank you Lowe's for guest internet! There is very little in the way of campgrounds for RVs in this area of the country. We went to the visitor's center and did some waymarking and geocaching yesterday. Luckily one of the caches was at the botanical gardens, because we tried to find the garden with our vehicle GPS and it couldn't find it.

We had to stick around over the weekend because Curt had a dentist appt this morning. He got a wisdom tooth pulled out Friday morning. That's the basic reason we came to Harrisonburg; we couldn't find a dentist in Luray to pull the tooth and was referred here. The tooth should have been pulled a long time ago, but the pain always went away, so it didn't get done. Well, last week it just kept getting worse and wouldn't go away. Living on acetaminophen/ibuprofen really isn't good. He's really lucky that it has turned out good and no pain or swelling afterwards.
