Today we drove the 200-odd miles from our campsite in Williamsburg towards our target, the Blue Ridge Parkway near Danville. The roads are stereotypically wide and straight dual carriageways where almost every building is either a church or some kind of garage (this is NASCAR country). The radio stations seem to be either Christian rock or country and western.
We’re camped for the night in the Fairy Stone State Park, still in Virginia but only just (bordering North Carolina). There is a cluster of hiking trails (will maybe try one tomorrow before we leave) and a lake with a diving board in which we had a welcome dip this afternoon. The campground is woody and thankfully much cooler than our previous base in Williamsburg. There was a “bear warning” notice where we came in.
Animals seen : 1 lizard, lots of birds (but only 2 identified as the American Robin and the Red Cardinal)
