Western Trip 2020, Oct. 25

October 25, 2020

Drive from Miller's Campground in Laurel Springs, NC, to Bear Grass, NC.

The sun is no where to be found this morning as we break camp and get on the road headed home to Bear Grass.  We have had some wonderful weather this whole trip with only a couple of days with a few sprinkles of rain.  It rained all night last night and it is still soggy this morning with all this thick fog.

Although the fog and rain obscured some of the colors, the Blue Ridge Parkway was still beautiful!

These geese are heading south for the winter.

The Yadkin River

Back on the interstate once again.

The traffic is backed up on I-40 because of an accident.  We saw many places along the roadway where the barriers looked like they had been literally peeled back because a vehicle had hit them.  We assumed it was because of all the heavy rain. 

Once we were on Hwy 64, we stopped for a fast lunch at Bojangles in Nashville and then made a stop at Joann's Fabrics in Rocky Mount for a few things I needed for projects at home.  

Getting closer to Martin County.

In a previous blog post from one of the western states, I posted pictures of cotton fields.  Well, here are "them ole cotton fields back home", as the old song says.

Our last "exit" before home.  It has rained the whole way. 

The farmers have picked the cotton in the fields in front of our house.  They "packaged" it a little differently this year. 

Home again after 48 days on the road and almost 7, 650 miles.  We are so thankful for all of our Lord's protection and provision during this challenging but wonderful trip.  God is so good, and we thank Him for all He's done for us.  Until next time, be blessed everyone!
