North to Black Lake - Day 2

We were back on the road at 7:30 AM........leaving South Carolina and headed for Troutville, Virginia..... and checked in about 2:00 PM at the Quality Inn.  We had stayed here last year on our way to NY......and remembered that the Cracker Barral was right next door.  After driving all day - it was nice to be able to just walk across the parking lot.   Unfortunately dinner was not the best today.  Rich ordered a burger and fries, and I had the special of the day, Turkey dinner. The turkey was OK, but the stuffing was so dry... the potatoes, cold and the green beans straight out of the can. Very disappointing.

Not a lot of pictures today......not a lot to see in North Carolina.  Traffic was pretty heavy going through Charlotte. Lots of construction going on - so got a picture of the skyline.....and a couple of Lake Norman as we passed by.

Virginia is such a beautiful state.... I always find myself snapping a lot of pictures of the hills.

The entire trip today, regardless of what state, on I-95, I-26, I-77 or I-81 the trucks were everywhere.  Never fails when you are on 2 lane highways, they just monopolize both lanes.

And then on top of that... today Vice President Pence was visiting near Roanoke, VA for DDay.  So, of course, whenever someone like this is in town, the traffic is affected, while he is escorted in and out of the area.  And we were about 15 minutes from the hotel when traffic just stopped. 

Plans are to head out early again tomorrow.... we'll be headed for Dunmore, PA
