On The Road Again

We left our sanctuary on the mountain bright and early on Wednesday morning September 10th for the 400 mile run to son John's near Meherrin, Virginia. Arriving about 4:30pm, we found the folks waiting for us - John, Barbara, Bonnie, Junior, Parker, and Conner. It was our first real-time look at baby Conner - so little. His eyes were wide open and he gave us a gummy grin. Got the motorhome situated up near the barn with a wide-angle view of the Alpaca fields. Bonnie had supper ready in short order.

After a good visit with everyone, including a day trip up to Mechanicsville to Ann's sister Mary Love and her husband Dave Schumaker, we left for our caravan rendesvous at Marietta, Ohio. This caravan is called the Mountain Heritage Caravan - a redo of a Jerry Honaker caravan of several years ago with a few changes. We'll go first to Sugarcreek, Ohio for a week at the Swiss Festival rally. That's always a good time right on the edge of the largest Amish community in the country. We'll then head south to spend time in West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and north Georgia, ending with a final banquet at Young Harris College in Young Harris. Will try to keep this posted with some pictures as we go along.
