Friends Along the Way

We left JEB Little Creek MWR Campground about about 9:25 AM.  It was like starting out as 'Newbies'.  Sort of.

"Let's see, when I hook up the car, I need three cables or is it four?"

After we got rolling, it all came back to me and I felt pretty comfortable in about 15 minutes.  Once we got onto I-264, it was like old times.  Man, I love driving this thing!  Such a smooth ride, big front window, etc etc.

About 90 minutes into our trip, we got a text from longtime friends Winnie and Bub who now live in the Raleigh area.  They asked if we could meet them somewhere along I-85.  We estimated we'd be at Exit 150 about 1:00 PM.

Pam found a Flying J using our copy of the EXIT book

Then we settled in for the trip and enjoyed the drive.  The Roadrunner was just breezing along.  After a couple of hours Pam wanted to drive so we stopped and made a quick change of drivers.

I served up a snack which was cheese and Ritz crackers.  About noon, we rolled into a Rest Stop and I took over again.  We contacted our friends and pulled into the Travel J about 1:05 PM.

They made about a 45 minute drive over to see us for a few minutes which was very nice of them.

We got a bite to eat and I got to use my new selfie  stick which was fun..

Then it was back on the road to a commercial campground about 8 miles off the Interstate.  High Rock Marina and Campground.

After we got our site and set up, we hooked up the cable and it took a while to change things to get the cable TV.  The owners manual was helpful.  It was not intuitive as we thought it should be.  After that I got some firewood and got that going while Pam watched a little MLB.

Pam fixed dinner and we ate outside near the campfire.  Later we waited for the NCAA Championship Tournament Finals to come on.  Pam lasted until halftime and I stayed up to watch the whole thing.  Excited game and I wish both could have won.

That was our day back on the road.  Thanks for joining us on the Roadrunner Chronicles!
