Four Oaks NC

What a nice day to travel yesterday. The weather was beautiful and the trip was smooth, although longer than most travel days. As mentioned before, our original plan was to stay in Fayetteville, NC, but the park there was booked, so we moved on to Four Oaks, NC. It gets us about 40 miles closer to our destination in VA, even though the town itself is a one whistle stop along the way. It has very little in the way of activities, shopping or even beauty. Our site in the campground is also ho-hum:

but it is only for one night and it will do.

The anxiety is setting in for us to reach our destination. We had a conversation with the person who hired us (Mary) and she is anxious to have us arrive. She has us scheduled to work on Friday and Saturday - training - which is an activity we haven't had in a while. We were suppose to begin on May 9th, but she wants us to get a head start with a couple training days. Our short trip today - 220 miles - should give us plenty of time to get set up and begin learning where everything is in the campground. It will be our home for the next 4 months - assuming all goes according to plan.

Our planned schedule today has us departing around 8:30 AM which should get us there in the early afternoon. The forecast is for clear weather - at least as far east as we are traveling. The rain appears to be coming and should remain west of us during our trip. As long as the severe weather stays away, we don't mind a little rain. We hope to have some good shots of our new "temp" home tomorrow...
