Carry me back to Ole Virginia

Early Sunday morning a good time to travel. We left the nice little country campsite in South Carolina and jumped on interstate 77 north. Before we left SC I wanted to top off the fuel tank as it is about the cheapest state for that. Well we use this iPhone app called gas buddy and Lynda saw an Exxon that said diesel for $3.49 a gallon. That is crazy as when we left the Keys is was $4.15. Anyway we filled up and I used my Exxon card which got us another 6 cents off. Wish it was that way everywhere.
Raining again today and we hit heavy traffic on route 77 with a big accident. Thing is it was Sunday morning so things moved pretty good. We did about 235 miles and got to a campsite we had used many times before because it was part of our Passport America. Well now its no longer but we payed the full price $28. Now the bad part, Lynda was walking Charlie and I turned on the water at the outside tap. I continued to hook up and heard water running. Well when we left the last campground I had opened the flush line for the black toilet tank to wash it out. Guess what I didn't close the valve for the line. So when I hooked up with no sewer hook up only a dump area and the main sewer valve was closed. The flush water went into the black tank and overflowed the toilet all over the not so now Magic Bus. Ugh. I quick shut the flush water and then saw Lynda coming with Charlie. I said go in the car and sit down till I clean up the mess I just made. She did that and I dug out the small water vacuum we carry. So for the next almost and hour I hoovered out the water, washed it all down with pine sol, rinsed it, then pine sol again, then dried. Not a good time but when Lynda came in it was done, phew. Not the first time I have left that valve open sure hope its the last.
We got cleaned up and went into this college town and found a Mexican place to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. The restaurant was good and the margaritas large, strong and cheap, Lynda enjoyed that. Lots of local college kids doing shots and enjoying the time. Back in the camper now but we noticed for the full price we are paying the electric is pretty low and we have to put some stuff on propane gas. Not going to be a stop anymore, site very un level also as Lynda had to put level blocks under tires. Nice view of flooded river though.
Tomorrow on the Hagerstown Elks in Maryland, a nice stop.








Happy hour smile
