2 RV's to Mocksville, NC

... spending the night at Winston-Salem NC

Breakfast was limited. Small biscuits and sausage, no egg or cheese. Two yogurts and bad juice.

I've had 'issues' with my RV that it doesn't want to move when I put it in gear. Yesterday I had to put it to the floor to get it to move. Today when I get in at the motel and put it in gear, it didn't want to move. So I put it to the floor ... Opps, wrong gear. Luckily this time it did not move.

At the corner where we got off the highway is a huge outlet mall. Last week it was a Tanger Mall. Today there is a bag over the sign saying 'Destination Mall.' Seems to be still mostly full. It is laid out differently but it looks larger than the new one in MN.

1st stop is the Pilot in Bidwell. I was going to put in six gallons of fuel which would/should get me to my drop on fumes. BB didn't think that was enough so ... six ... I should not run the RV less than 30-40 miles range, divided by six, I put in 12 gallons.

West Virginia

2nd stop is the rest area, oasis in Beckley. BB gets the last piece of supreme pizza. I had ziti again. Today it is a little colder when we sit at their tables outside. As soon as BB is done eating, she heads back to the RV.

Sometime this afternoon I realize my error of the fuel. I was going to put in six gallons. I was getting 16 miles per gallon. I should have only put in two more gallons to have fuel to spare. I added six gallons.

3rd stop is at the Loves in Lambsburg. BB added more fuel. I now have an excess range of 100 miles instead of 30-40.

North Carolina

We see a dozen plus emergency vehicles in the oncoming traffic. All parked, but no accident that we can see. My guess is that the car or truck had gone off the road before the guard rail started and was somewhere at the bottom of the hill out of our sight.

As we get to our motel, there are firetrucks. But they are in front of the motel next to ours, not at our hotel.

4th and final stop is the Comfort Inn in Winston-Salem. Food is from next door at the Outback Steakhouse. BB gets chicken. I get two soups.

Tomorrow. Use one RV to pick up the rental car and then drop the 1st RV. Then retrace our trip and pick up and drop the 2nd RV. Then 25 miles to pick up the next truck. From there we drop the rental car and hopefully get half way to Indy.
