Where have we been? Gosh, I didn't realize a week has almost passed since last updating the blog. We arrived at Beech Fork State Park last Thursday and have been here several days now. We came to this area to attend a christian conference near downtown Huntington. Getting to the actual RV Park was a challenge. It's a two lane road for several miles, that wind around and around...and one in particular that requires almost a 180 degree turn! Certainly not one of my favorite experiences getting up here for sure!
This RV Park is fairly nice. We're right next to a small creek and the sites are decent sized. Mark has started a fire at night a few times...our first campfires since the Rio Frio way back in March. During our entire stay on the West Coast earlier this year, all fire was banned due to the high risk of fires and high winds. It is peaceful late at night, watching the stars and hearing the crackling of the fire.
We think Clyde may have re-injured his leg again. He's limping as bad or worse than he ever has. But good grief, I don't know what else we could have done to prevent it short of keeping him locked in his little kennel 24 hours a day. Sheesh. The doctor did say that without surgery, in 9 months or so, the ligaments tighten up some how and will eventually tighten the leg and reduce the ACL sliding back and forth on his leg. But she also said that without repair he would have significant arthritis in that leg for the remainder of his life. So we're just not sure what the status is on his leg...but at this point, there's not much we can do. We carry him and set him down just to 'do his business' and then pick him up. He hops around on 3 legs, so we try to reduce his walking of course.
We're scheduled to leave Beech Fork State Park Friday. We plan to continue our trek East to the Washington DC area...or, I should say 'near' the DC area. There are no campgrounds very close to the downtown DC area. We'll try to stay near Arlington Cemetery area or some where relatively close and take the subway to Union Station. From there, we can hop on and off a Tram to reach the different areas we'd like to check out. We spent a few days here several years ago, but didn't have time to see nearly everything we'd like.
That's about a wrap for now...here's a couple pictures I took earlier today when we went into Huntington for lunch and a laundry run. Until later...~
