Below: The small firehouse located just a short distance from the
campground. A bit after passing the firehouse, the GPS had the two RV
Gypsies do a U-turn to get to the campground. This was not an easy task
in a 40-foot RV with a toad. And it was totally unnecessary
because there was a left turn into Whispering Pines Campground. The
sign was small and hard to see. But coming from the other direction,
there was a big billboard for the campground.

The curvy entrance
into Whispering Pines Campground in Morganton, Georgia and the
road after the curve. It would not be good to meet another RV here.
But RV's usually do not come and go at the same time of day. |

The two RV Gypsies
had full hook-ups at Whispering Pines RV Park, but
NO TV reception at all. It was not a busy campground, so
it was quite peaceful. Luckily someone cancelled their spot reservation,
so the two RV Gypsies got put in a spot other than the place they were
originally assigned because their RV would not have fit in that other
spot. |

The two RV Gypsies
wanted to park facing the creek like their neighbor did, but their hoses
were not long enough. They moved the picnic table by the creek, but
never got a chance to eat there. The entire next day it poured
rain all day long, harder than they had ever seen before. They spent
the entire day and evening playing Scrabble. And the other days,
they were not in their RV long enough to enjoy the creek. |

Below: Views of
the creek in both directions. All photos were taken on the day they
arrived, because the next day there were flash flood warnings and really
hard rain all day. However, the side of the creek near the two
RV Gypsies' RV was quite high, so they were not worried. The bank of
the creek on the other side was low, so they kept a watch on it through
their side windows throughout the day. |

Below: On the
one side of the RV there were three cabins but they were all unoccupied.
They were also facing the creek, although not right near the creek. |

Below: The view
from the front of the two RV Gypsies' RV. Karen Duquette is not
sure what the house with a bunch of old RVs in the yard
was all about. It was not really an enjoyable view. There was a nice
house on the other side of the office, where the campground owner probably
lived. |
