Day 19 - Fort Chiswell, VA

We traveled 233 miles and touched three states (SC, NC and VA) on I-77 today.  The sky was cloudless and the temperature reached the low 60s.

We noted yesterday that The Barnyard RV Park had no curb appeal, but things really look up when you get past the curb.  This departing picture illustrates.

We saw lots of Dogwood and Redbud trees:

Pink and white Dogwood along I-77
(north of Charlotte)

Redbud along I-77

Towing got more difficult near Charlotte as we dealt with short entrance ramps, rough highways and drivers who've attended too many NASCAR races.  Terrain became more hilly as we traveled north.  

We passed the Blue Ridge Parkway

We stopped at the Ft. Chiswell RV Park in Max Meadows, VA.  This is a very nice, large park located in a farming valley.  Big rigs have been pouring in here all afternoon.

The park was obviously carved out of farmland
