Our stay at the Thousand Trails park in Gloucester, VA. ended on Friday the 20th. We don't like to travel on the weekend so we headed south to Wilson, NC. to the Kampers Lodge RV Park. It is a Passport America park that was only 150 miles south, a good stop for the weekend. When we got there I found out that the Capital City Bike Rally was going on in Raleigh, the capital city of NC. We planned on going to the rally on Saturday but woke up to rain and rain and rain. Sunday started out cloudy and cool. We suited up and rode the 50 miles to Raleigh.
Ray Price, the owner of the sponsoring Harley dealer, was a drag racer for Harley. The second floor was a museum of race bikes and other memorabilia.
When we arrived around 10 am there were hundreds of bikes lined up.

My favorite paint job
They had a stunt show going on. A lot of wheelies
This bike drew a lot of attention.

We spent 4 hours checking out the vendors and all the bikes. I bought a pair of sunglasses, a rally tee shirt and picked up the free HOG pin stop pin. Then it was back on the bike for the ride back to the rv.
Monday, we headed on south to the Swamp Fox RV Park, another Passport America park. This place was fine for a night, but I can't recommend it for a longer stay. Tuesday, it was on to The Oaks Encore Park. We had a coupon for 50% off. We can visit Charleston, SC, Hilton Head and Savanna, GA from here. We will be here till next Monday when we move to the Jekyll Island State Park in Georgia for the month of October.
Stay tune for Charleston
