Another Fun Day with Gypsy

What a difference a day makes! This same campground where we were packed in like sardines on Halloween is now at about one-quarter of capacity. After yesterday afternoon's exodus we have lots of breathing room. And, the views! From our "Imax window" we can see the Swannanoa River, which runs through the KOA, and the hills of Western North Carolina. They call them mountains here, but whatever you call them they are beautiful. We are thrilled to finally have a taste of Fall! The colors are past their peak, but they are still stunning. And the chill in the air is a delight, especially after the heat and humidity we experienced on the coast. We're thrilled to be able to stay awhile.

We spent the morning being, well, lazy. We were busy, though. I finished a recap of our day in Savannah with ease. (Again, what a difference a day makes!) By midday we were ready to get out and enjoy the day. We hooked up with Gypsy, who treated us to a fine pizza lunch and then joined us for an afternoon of RV shopping.

The drive to Tom Johnson Camping in Marion was scenic. We climbed to the Eastern Continental Divide (I must confess I didn't know there was such a thing!) and soaked in the autumn vista of rolling hills (er, mountains) carpeted in the colors of the season against a clear blue sky. It was beautiful.

The visit to Tom Johnson Camping in Marion was fun and informative. Our salesman Bobby was helpful and had a good time with us. He showed us around the Class As Paul and I came to see and took us through a line of fine looking Class Cs for Gypsy to peruse. Bobby has Paul and me doing some serious thinking about a potential purchase. Who knows how things will work out? But, it was sure great to have a fellow fulltimer along for our shopping trip. We're so grateful to Gypsy for taking the time to come with us and sharing her perspective...and lunch, too!

Well, after today's outing, Paul and I have a few things to discuss. So, I'll close. If anything develops, we'll certainly let you know.
