Early morning awakening resulted in our being able to leave the Prince William Forest Park area for another magnificent ride on the paving-challenged I-95 southbound by 9:30 AM, which is quite early for us elderly types. Fortunately, we only were required to appreciate I-95 southbound for about 20 miles or 45 minutes until we reached VA-3 for a bit of eastbound action. The rural roads seem to be paved by individuals with substantially more talent than those that have performed the substandard work on the interstate system and we were able to hustle across Virginia to our destination near Lynchburg, VA in a bit over 4 hours averaging almost 40 miles per hour the entire way.
This drive across the middle of VA is very scenic and we finally arrived in the Lynchburg TT park after traveling through Lynchburg, a rural town called Rustburg or Rustbucket and finally on to Gladys, VA, which is shown on some, but not all, maps in microscopic print which correlates to the size of the local population. The Lynchburg park is nice, with pretty big camping spots and plenty of shade. It is nice to be out of the city again and Peg and I celebrated by drinking some good beer shortly after arrival and set-up.
The part of the park where we are camped is pretty full, probably because it is Memorial Day weekend. I will report on how staying in the park turns out in my next transmission.
