NC Trip: Cartoon Tree (Day 1 - June 19, 2013)

We plan to leave Willoughby at 8:00am for an early afternoon meeting with a prospective motor home customer in Columbus before heading to North Carolina where we will stay with friends for the weekend. But, we end up getting an even earlier start so there’s time to pick up the power cord from the Advanced RV shop where it was left by mistake. We hurriedly pack bags of foods, clothes and supplies into the motor home. After we pick up the power cord, Mike does a final check of all systems and I finish stowing our belongings for the trip.

After the customer meeting in Columbus, we head south on I-77 into West Virginia. Our campsite tonight is Kanawha State Forest: a lush, wooded park deep in a "holler" Southeast of Charleston. We choose a campsite by a rambling brook and go for short hike in the early evening, spotting a deer along the way. Mike, pointing out one huge oak tree with gnarly bark and a high canopy, says it would make the perfect cartoon oak, waving its arms and talking to us.
