Powhatan Campground, Pisgah NF, Asheville, NC, 25 mile jump
There was lots of ice this morning! It was about 27F when we woke, but the truck started just fine. We hooked the truck to the ITLDO to charge its batteries; they were running low. Dan headed south and we headed north closer to Asheville at a park we stayed at two years ago.
It was a special day because we were rendezvousing with Mike and Eileen who we met two years ago while camping on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi. It was the week of Penny’s bday and they invited us over for a bday supper; both are professional chefs! They tent camp across the country during the breaks between their two gigs; one in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts and the other in Breckenridge, Colorado.
We really like them (but especially love their sweet Shelty, Shelly). So we made a pledge to meet again and today is the day! The sun was warming up the forest as we went down the the lake which was exceptionally beautiful reflecting the tree colors.
They arrived about 5 PM; we had a good time catching up that evening and made plans to use our truck to haul the five of us around to see some of the sites we had come to enjoy here in Asheville.
