Apr 9 - a day at Lake Gaston, Littleton, NC

  We had decided to make today a "home" day at the lake, however,  we ended up going into the next town over of Roanoke Rapids to the Walmart Super Store.  They have a decent RV section, and we bought two more boxes of RV leveling blocks, another 10 ft sewer section, and a few other helpful RV items you discover are helpful after living the RV life for awhile.  We returned and re-leveled the RV, using the additional leveling blocks.  MUCH better, as we can now extend the dinette slider, and the RV doesn't rock and roll when we walk in it.
  We hiked around the campgrounds and along the long waterfront.  Since it had rained last night and was cloudy all morning, when the sun came out this afternoon, I couldn't help but take my chair, water bottle and Kindle out to the promontory on the water's edge and just sit and enjoy the day.
  I came back and cooked dinner--to last 3 nights, and then we went out to the lake to watch the sunset.  It was just beautiful--amazing colors, both in the sky and on the water.  I took a lot of photos, but they just don't really capture the grandeur of the actual experience.
  This evening, we started plotting our summer journey westward.  We need to figure out how  many stays at campgrounds we need on each step of the trip.  I realize to eliminate stress, I need to know ahead of time, where we will be staying.  Whereas, the RV neighbors we just met from Ann Arbor, just like to plan their next stop the night before they leave--to eliminate their stress.  Different strokes for different folks, and all.
