BMX Supercross is the only Olympic-Caliber BMX Facility on the U.S. east coast. It hosts World, National, Regional and Local Races, Nothing was happening when the two RV Gypsies drove by there, but they thought their son-in-law might want to attend some events here, so they took some photos, since everyone was new to the area.

Lee and Karen Duquette drove to Ferry Road in Rock Hill. So Karen Duquette took a few photos. Of course they did not eat there since they had a picnic lunch with them. The Pump House prices are a bit too high for Lee and Karen Duquette, unless maybe for a special occasion in the future. Plus they will continue to travel in their RV as much as possible.

Below: After enjoying their picnic lunch, Lee and Karen Duquette walked down the nearby boat ramp to see the Catawba River.

Below: On their great-grandson Anthony's 8th birthday the two RV Gypsies and family walked part of the paved trails alongside the Catawba River.

Below: At various intervals along the trail, 911 information was posted in the pathway.

Below: Karen Duquette knelt on the ground and stuck her camera through the slots in a fence to get pictures of her great-grandson by the river and the big rocks. His Grandmother was nearby to keep him safe.

Below: Anthony Rosenthal liked jumping off the tree stump and showing off his muscles.
