Blue Ridge Parkway and BINGO

Creekwood Farm RV Park
Maggie Valley, NC

Another beautiful day in 

North Carolina!

An update on the truck:

George took it to a Chevy dealer

in nearby Waynesville.

They changed the oil & fuel filter..

..to the tune of $234.00..

and determined that the problem

is a turbo-boost sensor and control valve.

The good news is it is covered under warranty.

The good/bad news is the part won't be 

here until Monday, so we've extended

our stay in Maggie Valley one more day.

Now we'll have a long day's drive

to Murrell's Inlet on Tuesday.

That's ok, though, because

SANDY can get her butt outta

the area by then :-)

So today we drove up to the

Oconaluftee Visitors Center

which is in the Great Smoky Mountains

National Park.

We dutifully got our passport stamped..

then wandered around the

Mountain Farm Museum.

It really was an interesting place!

Since we got a taste of the Smokies..

we wanted to get a taste of the 

Blue Ridge Parkway.

We plugged a destination in our GPS,

and took off for Mt. Pisgah...

...or so we thought :-)

It took us to the 'destination'

but there was no Mt. Pisgah there :-)

Oh well when we figured out our mistake, 

it was getting too late in the day to

turn around and go the right way.

We did, however,

get to be on a small portion

of the Blue Ridge..

We felt as if we were on top 

of the world up there.

When we got back to the campground..

we saw this sign..

BINGO!

We high-tailed it over there at 7:15.

The cool part?

I won 2 games, and George won 1.

For our $10 investment, 

we won $62!

Enough for breakfast tomorrow

at Joey's (and their famous pancakes)

and to see some bluegrass

at the

Maggie Valley Opry House

Very cool!
