Enfield/Rocky Mount KOA, North Carolina: January 2-3, 2016

We packed up & left Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort around 8:30am. Given how traffic was on the way down, we figured we should give ourselves extra time on the road, in case we needed it. We had also decided we were going to split the trip up into 2 days to avoid having to pull into our storage facility in the dark, again. We had several choices for stopping and ended up choosing the Enfield/Rocky Mount KOA.

We hit a few pockets of traffic, but nothing horrible, on the way up the road. I think the longest one had us about 20-30 minutes of sitting in traffic.

At some point during the day, the KOA staff emailed us asking a couple of questions & promptly responded after we did. Once there, check-in went smoothly.




Prior to our stay, it had rained several days, so the ground was a little soft & there was a good bit of mud on the ground.

We were in spot B7 & had a great sunset view.


This is basically same as the picture below, but you can see how muddy it was here.

After dinner (leftover gf pasta & meatballs with salad), we decided to watch Inside Out. We really enjoyed it. Around this time, we decided to turn on the furnace, only to discover that it lights and then goes back out. Guess we'll be putting that on our "needs to be fixed" list!

We curled up in bed with the furbabies and had a good night's sleep. Got up the next morning, had breakfast, and packed up. We also had to winterize the coach. Thankfully, our manual has a detailed procedure of how to winterize. Thank goodness for that! We got on the road and headed back up to the Northern VA area & tucked the Brave into it's space for the winter. We'll have to take her back out for state safety inspection and to get a couple of things fixed, but otherwise, she's staying put until March.

I'm not sure that we'd stay here for vacation purposes, but it was good for an over night stay.
