Next Up: Outer Banks and Fayetteville, NC; Charleston, SC; Savannah, GA
We pulled into the Rose Creek campground in Morganton, NC last Thursday. Uh-oh. Small campground, small sites. No cell service, no internet, no TV. We are in the mountains, y'all.
I saw a sign before we even got to the office that clearly states: no alcohol, no drugs, quiet hours from 10pm to 8am. We drive to our site and pass this pavilion on the way. Hmmmm.
The first nite we returned to the campground from town where we watched the Irish overwhelm USC (couldn't happen to nicer guys). There was a boozy PAR-TEE going on well past quiet hours. In fairness, all of the neighbors we met were so nice, and invited us to join them at the pavilion earlier in the day. I couldn't stop laughing at the irony of the "rules "sign (never saw at any other campground) and the late fun that was being had (never saw at any other campground).
So, what does an old married couple do without electronics? Play backgammon, of course! I won the first couple of games, but Johnny has come roaring back and is ahead by one game.
One last note: a terrible storm came through Morganton that washed out the entrance to our campground. We were told to park along the fence and walk through the brush at the back part of the property to get to our RV. While driving back to the fence, we met Rick and Mary Anne on the road who offered that we stay at their home if our rig was under water. Our neighbors Dave and Mary checked on us to make sure everything was ok on our site. Southern hospitality is the best! Dave warned us to be careful of snakes as they tend to crawl out of the creek when it gets swollen. Water moccasins, copperheads and rattlers - should we have known this before we walked through the brush to get to our rig?????
