May 12 - May ???  The final leg of this journey...



May 12 - May 14 Spartanburg/Gaffney KOA -  Gaffney, SC



We left Hilton Head and headed for Spartanburg/Gaffney KOA for a two night stay. We arrived about 4:30 pm on Monday.  We had a beautiful site with lots of shade on both sides of the coach.  A really nice luxury as it was quite hot (upper 80s).  On Tuesday, we visited the Freightliner facility and picked up some parts including a spare drive belt, fuel filter and fuel/water separator and ran a few errands before we prepared to move on Wednesday morning (5/14).



May 14 - May16  Fort Chiswell RV Park - Max Meadows, VA







May 14th was another on-the-road day for us.  We crossed over the Blue Ridge Mountains and got into Fort Chiswell about 3:30 pm. In our trip over the Blue Ridge, we encountered the highest elevations (2800 feet) for our trip with OakRunner.  This is a beautiful part of the country and we're nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Alleghany Mountains.  Our original plan was to spend one night here and then move onto Winchester, VA.  A look at the weather forecast changed our minds.  Heavy rain, flash flood alerts and wind advisories convinced us to spend a second night here before going to Winchester. 



May 16  Candy Hill Campground - Winchester, VA



We plan to spend one night here as a layover before moving on.



May 17 - May 20 Don Laine Family Campground - Palmerton, PA



Last stop before we head home.  A chance to visit with family and wind down from our amazing trip.  We want to be home before Memorial Day which will help us get the coach unloaded and returned to the storage unit before the holiday.  We'll also stay clear of the holiday traffic.
