Each year about this time, we take Fran the Van on a weekend trip to a nearby campground to fine tune our packing list, make sure all supplies are stocked up, etc. This year we headed to Parris Mtn State Park, a nice park about 20 minutes from the house.
We were able to squeeze in a 2-hour hike on Saturday morning, but then the skies opened up (good thing we brought our big awning). We got absolutely dumped on for hours on end, but the load of Mamaw's Grey Wood we brought along ensured we didn't have to stay cooped up in the van all afternoon/evening. Pictured is Rhonda (sitting under the awning) warming her feet in front of the miniature inferno. I'm quite certain a lesser grade of firewood would have made for much soggier weekend. Most of our fellow campers weren't as well equipped to deal with the elements, and we had our end of the campground pretty much to ourselves (the other end was all big trailers and motor homes whose drivers probably weren't looking to spend too much time outside anyway).
