TN7 Hop 7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My home in Charlotte was the Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort<\/a>, adjacent to the Carowinds <\/a>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
