Still a Great Park

This is still one of the nicest parks we've stayed at this year. The weather has been great, it's a little foggy in the mornings but it clears up fast.

Here's a drone shot of the park. I took some good drone shots of the park and sent them to the park owner. He's going to use them to update his web page. Someone else wanted to charge him big money for these pictures. I am cheap. Free. 

On Saturday we went to Blue Ridge, GA for the "Blues & BBQ Festival". It was a little hard to find a parking spot, but it was a nice festival. We had lunch at the Blue Ridge Brewery. The food was very good.

It was a beautiful day.

 This is the Murphy courthouse. It's a beautiful marble building. Murphy has a nice downtown with some good stores and a nice Irish Pub and a brewery.

 I've never seen a flag deposit box like this one. This is cool with all the stuff in the news concerning our flag.

 The only thing that's a little pain in the butt are these "Stink Bugs" here in the park. They don't bite, But they are just ugly bugs.

Oh, and this lost duck. All of his buddies flew south but he stayed here. Everyone is feeding him bread, so why would he leave.

One bad thing, Peggy tore the Meniscus in her left leg. She got this nice brace here in Murphy emergency care.

   She has to stay off it for a while. The only other thing we could do to fix it, was to cut it off. It's a bitch getting old.

Throwback Picture of the Blog.

 My mom sent me this picture. This was back in the early 80's when we used to race Hobie Cats. 

This photo proves that I had hair when I needed it.

Great Park

We've moved to River's Edge Mountain View RV Park in Murphy, NC. The weather hasn't been that good. We're getting the rain from the hurricane Irma, but not much wind. So I got the Drone out to get some pictures of one of the best parks we've been in this year.

 This is a picture of our site. It's so long I can park the truck in the front or back. It has a nice pad with a picnic table and a portable fire pit.

 The park has 50 sites. We're on one of the basic sites They also have premium sites that are longer and some back-in sites on a small river.

There's a lot of room between sites. We are here for 2 weeks. We are getting the tire blowout damage fixed. Rick's RV Repair is going to do the work right here on our site.
 The owner came over after we were set up and gave us a good deal on our site. What a great park.

This is a picture of the flight control for the Drone displayed on my iPad. It has a lot of information on it.

The iPad mounts on the front with the flight controls behind it.

This Drone is so smart. 

A Drone Fly By. This is my first video down loaded. I will work on the video quality. Try to use the HD setting if you have the bandwidth.

Funny things you see in RV Parks:

We stopped in Bristol, TN for one night on our way here where we saw this really nice TV antenna, mounted on a 2x4, on the back of this RV. If you look close, you can see a beer can in the antenna. I talked to the guy and he said it works great.

Full Hook Up

After 12 days without full hookup we finally got a FHU site. That was the longest we've went without FHU. 

We have moved to Summersville Lake Retreat. A nice park in the mountains in West Virginia overlooking Summersville Lake. 

The weird thing at this park is that it has a working lighthouse. 

You can pay $7 to go up in it.

Here is a good Drone shot of the lighthouse.

I love the good pictures that the Drone takes.

We found the World Famous Tractor Bar just down the road from the park. It's got this tractor in it, and follows the tractor theme. Even the bar stools are tractor seats.

Before we left Milton we had dinner at the Backyard BBQ. They had live bluegrass music on a stage in the backyard.

We met Gethen Jenkins in the backyard. He's an Outlaw Country Singer. We got his first album off iTunes and it's pretty good. He's from Huntington, WV. Here is a link to his music http://www.gethenjenkinsmusic.com/

We had some burned out running lights. So Peggy and I changed all 19 of them. We found two of them weren't even wired in. So we fixed that. Now all of them work. It just looks so much better. 

I'm still having fun with my Drone!

Here is the flight of the Drone taking a picture of the lighthouse. You can see the shadow of the lighthouse. The Drone is 757.9 feet from me. This is just some of the information you can get from the Drone on my iPad.

This thing is amazing. 

I haven't crashed it yet and it always comes back.

Live Happy and Always Go Big.
