We drove a little over 100 miles to Norlina NC to a Harvest Host: Seven Springs Farm & Vineyard.

We arrived before noon because a special event was going to happen in the afternoon. Our site was near the road, next to several rows of grapevines which were just beginning to leaf out.

There was very little to set up today with no electric, water, or sewer; a bit of automatic leveling.

We were soon ready to explore the property and find out about the event that was about to start happening. Preston, the owner, told us to come on up and enjoy all that was about to happen, about 700 hundred people were coming for brunch. 700! What an amazing experience we were about to have. A complete surprise that we never expected.

Today we got ready to leave tomorrow. Must-do’s include laundry and it’s really nice when you have a nice laundry room 50 feet from your RV space.

Finding places for the non-dryer clothes. Mine are hanging over the edge of a shelf above the driver’s and passenger’s seats. Here, those “captain’s chairs” have been turned around for more seating.

Billie’s are hanging from a clothesline across the opening to her bedroom.

When you go into the RV and …

and turn left, you have the kitchen on the left and the bathroom on the right.

The bathroom behind the curtain:

We each got the same bamboo towels to use, so I added some embroidery to tell them apart.

Beyond the kitchen/bathroom (without the clothesline) is Billie’s bedroom:

As you come up the steps, straight ahead is the living room/dining room with removable table.

Which later becomes my bedroom!

Thanks to those who asked for a tour of the home we are sharing. We leave tomorrow morning.

Yesterday we drove about 100 miles to Lanexa VA to Rockahock Campground along Chickahominy Lake which is also a river.

We’re eating really well. Bille made delicious sugar snap peas and tuna steaks last night.

This is our first Harvest Hosts stop, just 4 miles from Gordonsville VA.

We did a wine tasting:

We drove into Gordonsville. The town hall:

Some really cute shops for about 2 blocks on this side of the street:

An easy and delicious dinner – takeout from the BBQ Exchange:

The largest caverns in the eastern US and well worth seeing.

Dream Lake, a perfect mirror image of the ceiling, the deepest part is 18-20 inches:

There were no stairs to climb in these caverns and you were able to get really close to the formations. No touching allowed!

Two stalagmites were accidentally sheared during the enlargement of this tunnel and the result was .. Fried Eggs:

There are 12 rigs here at Outlander’s River Camp, all from an RV group called Blue Ridge Winnie’s.

Billie has been a member for over a year, then winter and the pandemic meant many canceled events. This is Billie’s fifth campout with this group since last August so she’s made some good friends and she doesn’t know when she will see them again. Tonight was a potluck – Italian food.
