It was cold and rainy in April in Vermont, nothing was blooming yet and it was a good time to head south for a bit of warmer weather and a new adventure. We hooked up the camper, put the bikes on the back of the camper, the kayaks on the roof of the Jeep and headed out with no real plan other than to stop by Connecticut and then head south.

Fairy Stone State Park, VA: We had our first clue that finding campsites on the weekends was going to be problematic as this campground was just about completely full. But it was very warm (was amazing to be in shorts and t-shirts!), the dogwood trees were blooming, wildflowers were out, and the lake was lovely.

Stony Forks National Campground: We packed up and left Fairy Stone in the morning and headed to Wytheville, VA. This is a national campground which is a great deal - with a senior discount it's $20 a night with electric, water, and beautiful campsites. We get set up and ready for a cold night (38 degrees)! We went into town for groceries and new brake pads for the bikes. After dinner we walked around the campground and then snuggled in for the night. It was a cold night but we had enough blankets and the heater warmed things up quickly in the morning.
