Trip so far

Well we finally got to where there is no snow, still cold but no snow. We are currently staying at the Apache Campground in Myrtle Beach. It is a huge park, close to 900 sites, 300 of those are overnight use. It also has the longest pier in Myrtle Beach area. The manger here use to manage the Myrtle Beach KOA, great people and lots of experience with parks this size.

We left just before New Years hoping to get down this far before the big party but mother nature had different ideas. We stayed the first night in PA at Pine Grove KOA and woke up to a major amount of snow. we decided that we would stay around for awhile until the roads cleared, so we walked around the park. Last time we were there they were planning on putting in some lodges. Well 35 units later they are there. Built on a hillside they are fantastic. They also had just put in another section of full hookup sites. Most of their pull thrus are over 80 feet long! Next years plan calls for Yurts and more sites overlooking the mountains. They have a carousel, band stage, and so much more. If you ever get a chance and want to see a great KOA check it out. http://koa.com/where/pa/38180/
Thank you for your hospitality Pine Grove!

New Years eve brought an exciting night in a truck stop! Wow, who says I do not take Sue to all the best places. The weather was bad and we were exhausted so we just pulled over and called it an early night. We did stop by the Staunton / Walnut Hills KOA, http://koa.com/where/va/46187/, to say Hi but they were closed and we were trying to get some more miles done before we quit for the day. Looks like a super park with a stream running through it and wildlife all around, hopefully next time.

From there we shot down to Wilmington KOA for one night. Met a great staff member behind the desk, a young workkamper. She was very nice and helped with all my questions, more importantly she asked where we were going the next day and helped with directions so as to avoid going downtown Wilmington with the RV. She says many GPS units take people the wrong way for a RV. Something to think about for next year.
This park is close to many attractions, so if you go this way drop by and say HI. Thanks Joel for your hospitality. http://www.koa.com/where/NC/33168/

So now we are in Myrtle Beach, and I will update you more as we go.

Happy New Year All
