First days on the road; Winston-Salem and surrounding areas

I left Raleigh, NC a few days ago on April 9th. I stopped in Kernersville, NC at Car Tow Dolly to pickup a towing dolly for my 2013 Honda Civic. The guys there, Joe and Alex, got my car up on the dolly and explained every step to ensure that the car was safely secured. I appreciated the extra time that they took with me.

I looked for an RV park that was still open and not shuttered up due to the coronavirus pandemic, and found Lisa's RV landing in Madison, NC. Rates are very reasonable for a full hookup (sewer, water, electricity), plus they have a good WiFi signal too. It's a small RV park, maybe 8 spaces, but there's only 4 RV's here. It's right next to a convenience store too. I'm spending 3 nights here, so it'll give me a chance to adjust my RV's parking brake and take care of a couple maintenance issues.

Madison is a definitely a country town! It's quiet, and there are ponds and streams all over the place. Last night, I took a ride out to Farris Memorial Park in Mayodan, NC, for a 2 mile trail hike. It's a huge park with a quiet fishing pond and bike trails. Today, I checked out Hanging Rock State Park about 30 minutes away to enjoy more of the trails here, but it was closed. So, I ended up walking through the town of Danbury, NC to see the sights. Of course everything was closed up, so I just enjoyed the sights of a small country town.

Seems like every property has one of these old homes
