Jeanne and I have decided to bring our RV. Can't leave our pup at home by herself, we took her to Sturgis last year and she did fine. Anyone know of a close by RV park?

There is a very nice campground, not crowded mostly pull through sites located just south of Galax. Here's the website. You don't have to prepay for a reservation. It's a quiet place, not crowded, well maintained with laundry and bath facilities.

Re: official Eastern run, Hillsville VA Sept 12-14
Well, it looks like I'm officially out for this years run. Been waiting for results from our follow up visit this morning and I will have to take daily care of stuff here for a while longer. Wife is healing from her last bout but it is going slower than expected. We don't even have another follow up for a couple of weeks. I'll miss seeing the group and set my sights on next year.

You will be missed! Working on a ladies house this morning and had to pull up my appointment book so I did not schedule her in conflict with any of my Dr's appointments! Getting old sucks!

I might add, we have one extra bed if someone needs a place before or after, and plenty of room to park a trailer. We are about 1 hour from the motel 6
