174 miles via I-77, I-85 and NC 98. Cumulative tow miles: 1229. Truck miles: 266. Cumulative truck miles: 1774. The extra truck miles were due to 2 shopping trips and a depressing sightseeing trip around Charlotte in the rain.
This was a rare route: not a single mile on a road that I have traveled before. Not an exciting route, but a fairly smooth and pleasant route.
My home in Charlotte was the Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort, adjacent to the Carowinds amusement park. I have stayed at amusement park campgrounds before and was concerned about the noise. Well, I needn’t have worried because the park doesn’t open until mid-May. It turns out the the only persistent noise was from the planes making their final approach to the Charlotte airport.
This is a decent park, but with a surprising number of long-term campers. Some units look like they have been there all winter. Or longer.
The weather was cold – a record low of 31 was set the first night there – and then turned rainy. I watched TV and read a lot.
