On Friday, we drove from Fair Play, SC to Advance, NC and checked in to the Forest Lake RV & Camping Resort, Carl's second Thousand Trails campground. I had read online that this preserve was unique in the Thousand Trails system in that they assigned you to a campsite. When we arrived, the folks in the ranger station were a bit concerned that we might not fit into the campsite we had been assigned... and they started moving folks around, but were still concerned about our ability to get into the sites... I suggested that we unhook the Jeep and go look at the 3 sites that they were considering for us, and we all agreed.
Carl and I decided that we could fit into either of two of the 3 sites, so we picked one, went back and told the ranger, and then drove Miss Doozie and got parked.
Today (Saturday), even though the temperature was barely above 50, was a brilliantly blue-sky, sunny day, so we decided to walk around the campground. It is relatively large with lots of sites roughly around a lake..

We tried finding a walking path that was labeled on the campground map. We found a number of ATV paths and walked a couple of them... we eventually got to the information and membership building where I was thankful to find a ladies room!

| Surprising in the ladies room was what appeared to be an instant satisfaction meter!!! (I didn't try recording my opinion...) |
 |
| In the afternoon, the sun on the side of Miss Doozie (and Miss Doozie blocking most of the breeze) made it very pleasant for sitting outside, even though the temperatures were staying in the low 50s. |
Sunday will hopefully find us on the farm in Virginia!
