Well after all of the "excitement" of the big city of Washington, DC we were both ready for some rest and relaxation. We found an RV park in a little town called Parsons, WV in the middle of the Monogahela National Forest and surrounded by state parks. After a long and harrowing drive on the mountain roads in the pouring rain we pulled into Nirvana, a wide open grass field that has been turned into an RV park. Nothing to run into! We pulled into our site in the dark and quickly set up camp.

A river runs thru it
We awoke the next morning to find the place was even better in the daylight. There was a huge open grass area and the whole place was surrounding by a river. And the best part was that the owner told us we didn't have to worry about leashing the dogs! The forecast was for rain for pretty much the whole week, but that made it great for the seven loads of laundry, shopping and other errands we needed to accomplish. We also made it into a Ford dealer to have the bat inspected and serviced.
Parson's - A cute little town
Towards the end of the week we were ready for some outdoor fun so we buttoned up our jackets and drove out to Otter Creek for a beautiful hike in the woods on Mother's Day. A perfect day topped off by phone calls from all three of my beautiful, amazing children that I miss so much! That made my day. Our last day was spent meeting with another insurance adjuster to deal with the Crazy African Incident. At the end of the day we were treated to fifteen minutes of snow... yes snow. Vern the lawn man said "In all my 75 years I have never seen snow after Mother's Day".
