From TX, we went through, Louisianna, Alabama, stopped and had lunch with BigAl, what a treat, saw the big TV!, went on to Tenn & Virginia, then on the West Virginia to the Element meet. On the way we toured a cave, did a haunted house tour, a wax museum, a dinosaur park, saw some waterfalls, an indian village, and lots of hiking trails.

While in Harpers Ferry WV, we had some great times with the E-ple, had a golf cart ride, played putt putt with Nismos and Mrs. Nismo (he won, so he mustve cheated), went whitewater rafting with Nismo and Spotman--too much fun there!, went to DC and saw some monuments, visited historic Harpers Ferry, and a flea market and walked another hiking trail.

On the way home we were in a "historic" mood, so through Kentucky we stopped at Boonesbourrough and saw a replica fort, visited 2 more historic forts in KY and Tenn, and a 1700 actual house, which was partially restored but most of the house was original, that was a real treat and they did not allow pictures:x

We saw TONS of E's, the #1 color we saw most.....drumroll....SOP! #2 Galapagos, and #3 Satin Silver--actualy saw 3 Cargo Khakis.

In KY we saw a campground sign, and went off the beaten track and found a small campground along the river, the owners name was Virgil, and we were slightly scared for our lives, imagining banjo music all night long.
But I'll have to say it was the nicest off all the parks, being so close the the river and the bathrooms were actuall spotless!;-)

Here are the pics!

I read the title of the thread to the wife and she said "WOWWWWW" Although it looks and sounds like you had a great time, even though you guys weren't always with me I bet it feels good to be home. What do you mean I cheated? I wasn't the one yelling "do over" ;-)

 

[scorsone]

Where is that Campground in KY? I might be able to take the wife and kids to that one.

You were right in my backyard and didn't call?!?

Nice pictures and it looks like a great road trip.

Lookie there it was actually in WV! I was SO lost!

It really is hard to call people, 99% of the time we had no cell reception.
Hard to make plans to, because when Mr. Jojo's tired, he just finds the very next campground and thats where were staying!

Don't worry about it. If I ever go to Texas I will be sure to not call.;-)

That campground is way far from KY. You need to make sure you clarify that Banjo Music quote to reflect WV.

Fort Boonesborrough is just down the road from me. The campgrounds at the state park are nice and I have launched my boat a time or two from there. There is a classic restaurant just up the road from there that is known for their fried banana peppers and beer cheese. They are on the KY River and every time it floods they have it marked on the wall.

Gotcha, but can I still keep the KY accent? They say yellow, like "yella":lol:

It was 9:00am when we visited there, too early to camp AND eat lunch:-(
