Camping in West Virginia
We intended staying in a KOA near Princeton, WVa.We were late in arriving and tried to call and let them know.Phone out of service.We foolishly plunged on.It was dark, we were tired the road was narrow.Ken pulled over to let a following vehicle pass and they asked if we needed help.In answer to our distressed inquiry, they told us that KOA had been closed for over a year!Yikes!Ken was able to turn us around on a dark narrow, curvy and hilly road.He did a marvelous job, but we were really stressed out.We were ready to stay in a motel, when we passed a Walmart Super Center.You've got it.We camped in the lot among the semis and two other very luxurious RVs.Seems Walker Tunnel was only one lane going north and many had been delayed for 2 hours on the highway.We were pretty much positive that we would never do such a thing, but it worked out very well.We were so tired and our 90 #
pup was ready for a reprieve.Truly, it was a port in our storm.We saw the first fall color of the trip the next morning on the hillside behind the store.Definitely not a destination point, but a welcome, safe place to stop. Olga and Ken
