Life Rocks when your living room rolls
Virginia was our next stop. The drive was just over 3 hours but it was a fairly easy drive so that was nice. And no major cities to go through was great! We decided to do just a night stay thought the boondockers welcome site. We had our request accepted in advance for Avrlyn in Luray. This is the home of a writer and his wife. It is mainly back roads to get there but when we pull into the driveway we are so amazed by the landscape. We are surrounded by mountains. Michael greets us as we pull in and shows us where to park on the side of his garage. He offers us electric and water, which we kindly refuse, as we have a full tank of fresh and full power. Once we are disconnected from the truck and all set up he shows us around the outside of his property. It is beautiful. He gives us full use of the pool, pool house, bar and grill. Chris decides to take a quick dip in the pool to unwind. After relaxing for a bit we get ready to head to the Luray Caverns. I have never seen caverns before. They were amazing. I loved learning how they were formed, the explanation of the different kind of rock and also how it was discovered. My favorite was the reflection in the water. It looks as they are coming from above and below. It was pretty cool. Once we were back at the camper we made a simple dinner and made our way out to the pool area to enjoy some drinks. Robin had come home while we were out there so we had a nice chat with her for a bit. Sitting in the backyard looking around reminded us what it was like to have a permanent place to live. Neither of us would trade this life we are living right now but we also took in the night and enjoyed being away from a campground. We finished our bottle of wine and headed back to the camper to get ready for bed. The next day Chris had a few meetings to get done before we could get on the road. I got to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. We had a visit from a dog who was the sweetest old thing. Once Chris finished up his last meeting we went to say goodbye and gave Michael a bottle of Shelburne Farms wine as our thank you for a wonderful stay. Then we were off to do 3 hours until our next stop.
