Lessons Learned

Most Important- When driving the RV don’t always believe the GPS.

With all the rain the road out of Pegasus Campground was very uneven. It’s only an hour from Elkins to Weston. So we decided I’d drive the Miata. It was a beautiful drive on the Stauton- ------ Parkway. According to the GPS we were about 7 miles from the campground. I knew it was south of Weston so the directions seemed reasonable (a right, a left and a right). The road went from a narrow 2 lane to a 1 lane crushed stone with turns to a dirt road with more turns. You’ll have to hear Bob tell what ‘fun’ he had driving the camper. When we got to a ‘real road’ we called the campground for directions. We ended up about 2 miles away. Apparently we weren’t the only ones who’d gone that way because the woman who checked us in said she was thinking about putting a sign at that turn for the campground with better directions.

Second lesson- Always pack for 4 seasons of weather changes. In the mountains in Elkins we had rain, hail and snow (just in the air) and cold. The weekend is supposed to be in the 80’s- I packed for low to mid 70’s (as the forecast said). Sunshine will be nice.

Here is the view from the back of our campsite. It’s the sound of the waterfall and trees that make this site so pretty and peaceful. I even saw a couple of deer on the hill.
