Journal- When we first made campsite reservations during the early warnings of Hurricane Dorian, it looked like the Richmond, VA area was in the 'line of fire' -- so we booked a campsite in Verona, VA - in the Shenandoah Valley - that was more west and more north. When we got there, Dorian was scheduled to hit the Wilmington area that night, and both C and I were anxious to keep abreast of the news and internet. Though the website for Shenandoah Valley RV Camp boasted Internet, the only place it was available for any signal was at their store, and sadly, even that was a single bar -- when it worked! Then to add more anxiety to our stay, we found our RV TV was too old to work with their new QAM system -- talk about being upset. YET!!! The kind, truly kind staff, LOANED us a TV so we could watch the weather channel ... and since we wouldn't sleep anyway, we found we could get a scant 2 bars of Verizon from our site from midnight to 7 am. So -- relief left me in tears! As did the change in Dorian's direction and our Southport RV safe and sound. It was after Dorian's passing that I could finally relax and enjoy this beautiful park for the 2 days we were there. The campsite has a lot of activities including hot tub, pool, laundry, waterfall, pond, floating down the river, and more. We even got C to sing during the karaoke night, and dance too. But that hot tub truly helped relieve all the stress!

Lin this goes to show that even in the midst of a possible hurricane you managed to sketch a lovely scene. So glad you were safe friend. Hugs!
Glad you were able to find out the status back home and relax and enjoy this spot.
