Lexington, VA to Front Royal, VA

We left Long's Campground this morning around 10:30 continuing north on I-81. We pulled into a rest area near Plains Mill, VA around noon for lunch. We stayed on I-81 until we reached Strasburg, VA & took State Road 55 east to Front Royal, VA. We arrived here at North Fork Resort mid afternoon. It was only about 120 miles from Lexington to Front Royal.

We're in site #C-32 & it definitely is NOT level. It's a gravel site - sloping rear to front. Our right front wheel is on 10" blocks and the left front wheel is on 8" blocks.

We had stayed here in 2006 in a different site & it wasn't any better. On that visit we saw a number of motorhomes jacked up so high to get level, that their front wheels were off the ground by as much as a foot or more! We are in a pull through site with full hookup & 30 amp electric.

Bristol, TN to Lexington, VA

We got an earlier start than usual this morning & left Wal-Mart in Bristol, TN at 8:30. We stopped for gas this morning at a Petro at Glade Springs, VA & paid $3.419 a gallon. We stopped for lunch at a rest area on I-81 near Childress, VA.

We arrived here at Long's Campground at Lexington, VA a little after 2 pm this afternoon. We are on site #28. It's a gravel site & not a very level one. Long's does have wifi, but the signal is weak. Since Long's is a Passport America campground, we're only paying 1/2 price ($15) for tonight. We have a pull through site with full hookups & 50 amp electric.
