Having shuttled our Airstream safely to Virginia, we are now a little more confident, a lot less anxious, and quite a bit more excited about starting the trip. In preparation, though, we need to use the trailer. So, last weekend we ate dinner and watched a movie in the trailer. Danine cooked her special popcorn on our little range, which works great, and we spent the night in it with Elise for the first time. It was fun and felt like home.
Tomorrow we are taking on a bigger challenge. We’re driving on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah NP and camping at Big Meadows. There are no hook-ups there, which is no problem since we’ll have the Airstream’s batteries and a full fresh water tank. On the way we’ll be doing a few firsts however. We’ll empty our black and gray tanks, and fill up the fresh water tank — all at Bull Run campground. And, of course, we’ll be driving the Airstream on the winding and somewhat steep grades of Skyline Drive. Hey, it’ll be a good test and a confidence builder. I’ll be sure and take pictures and post about it on Monday! Wish us luck!
