TTN Chesapeake Bay

We were up early this morning getting packed up and hit the road out of TTN Forest Lake shortly after 8 am. Today's route followed I-85 out of North Carolina and into Virginia where we picked up I-95. Once we reached Richmond, we ducked over to I-295 before turning east on Hwy 64. We continued over the York River onto Hwy 33 and then followed 198 to the resort. The drive was very scenic. Parts of I-85 in northern North Carolina were in very bad shape. There was some construction but traffic moved along very well.


We settled on a 50 amp site at Chesapeake Bay for an additional cost of $2/night. Temps have gone up considerably in the last two days so we figured why not splurge. We took site C-38 opposite the pickleball courts. They even have pickleball listed at 9 am on the daily activity schedule, so we shall see tomorrow if anyone else here plays. The pictures above are of the preserve's boat and fishing dock on the Piankatank River. We went for a stroll around this afternoon and saw a few people out fishing.

The park is about half full. Lots of room in the 50 amp section (C loop). The country store here is the best we have seen at any Thousand Trails location so far. The two pools are still empty of water and not scheduled to open until Memorial Day. That seems to be a familiar theme at the parks. There is wifi in the park. Chris managed to access it easily on her iPod from our Bounder. Unfortunately, we seem to be in a dead zone for my Tracfone as it receives no signal. Their coverage map shows this area to be covered but for some reason my tracfone doesn't agree with that.

The park put on home made pizza for supper tonight. Ours was excellent and definitely worth the $10 we paid.

Hoping my niece will be able to make it down from Washington DC for a visit while we are here. Thinking of checking out colonial Wiilliamsburg if time permits as well.
