Most of yesterday was spent at the campsite. We did go to McDonald's in the morning to do school work. The campground was suppose to have internet access, but we couldn't get it to work.
Once school was done, Dave spent time in his kayak. He also took the kids over to the other side of the river to swim and jump off the rocks. They had a blast. I could have joined them but I spent the time getting laundry done. The rest of the evening the kids and I stayed at the camper and watched TV and chilled. Dave went to the store and explored the small town of Erwin. He found a park/campground with trails to hike which brings us to this morning.
We got up earlier so we could fit a hike in before traveling. We drove through Erwin and up the mountain to Rock Creek Recreation Area. By the time we got out of the car it was pouring. Die-hard hikers that we are, we decided to try our luck on the trail. Sadly, the rain kept coming and we weren't really dressed for the conditions. We turned around and decided that we would plan to return here in late July.
Drenched and freezing we rode back in the truck to the campsite. We got cleaned up and packed up before hitting the road once again...destination West Virginia and the Gully River.
This week is bittersweet for all of us. We are so excited to be going home to see our family and friends, but we will miss our travels until we hit the road again. For many, it seems like we've been on the road forever, but for us the end is rapidly approaching and it seems like we've only begun.
