   Being new, I'm not too sure how this forum works regarding replies.  I hope this one reply reaches everyone who responded to my initial post.  
I just want to say 'Thank You' to everyone who took the time to say hello and to offer their great advice.  I heard that the Pod community is a great place to belong.  Now I begin to see how true that is.  We are looking forward to meeting many of you along the way.  

You guys will definitely smooth out the bumps along the way.

	Davidson River in the Pisgah National Forest was mentioned. Have stayed there many times over the years. One loop of 10 sites out of the 160 total does have electrical hookups, no water/no sewer, but there is a dump station. Another loop of 13 sites does not allow any generators and the entire campground has a 4 hour per day generator run time maximum. Be advised this campground is almost always completely full in the summer season and fall leaf peeper season so plan ahead. This is also one of the ones with a 14 day stay limit from April 1 to October 31. 30 days rest of the year. Overall a great place!

	By the way, was anyone else staying in the Brevard area this past weekend? We had our first RPod sighting while we were checking out Cascade Lake campground for possible future use.

	Welcome! You are heading toward our neck of the woods. If you like National Parks and don't mind dry camping, Elkmont campground in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area is nice. Also, probably better than that, is the Davidson River Campground in Pisgah National Forest. If you stay at Davidson, you can hit both Pisgah and Dupont National Forest in one day if you want. You are only about an hour away from Asheville from there. Asheville, of course, has the Biltmore - a must see if you are in the area. We just got back from there this weekend. We didn't stay at Davidson River, but plan to next chance we get. They have a few hookups, but there aren't many. They call it the "Land of Waterfalls" and you will be able to see many waterfalls featured in the movies - Hunger Games, Last of the Mohicans, etc. Beautiful place. One of my favorites. Have a great time!

	Welcome. We just spent the week at the Julian Moses campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway, close to Blowing Rock. Beautiful campground. No hookups but that is what the Rpod Loves. $16.00 a night and you can stay up to 30 days. When you come to SC pm me and maybe can hook you up.

	When we headed south from Vt to the Keys, our first stop was at the Flying J in Northeast Maryland, we then stayed in Flying J truck stops all the way down and back up the coast. They all have 24 hr restaurants, dump stations and are very camper friendly. We actually joined their RV clob and swipe a card when we gas up or make purchases and the points add up an can be cashed in for coffee, showers, all kinds of things. They also have an IPhone app so you see where all the Flying J/Pilot stations are an their amenities.
