Around Wytheville, Virginia

October 22, 2023 While we were at Fort Chiswell RV Park, we went to Wytheville, VA several times. It is a walk friendly town in the Historic Downtown, with a walking trail connecting two parks.

October 16, 2023 As we walked around Wytheville, VA on September 30th, I wanted to stop inside the pottery shop. The outside was interesting and I wanted to see if it was an actual log house. It was! The owner of the shop told us it had been two small log buildings built for housing […]

New Shock Installed

October 11, 2023 Today, I helped Bruce with the installation of the new shock. I didn’t do much. Bruce needed to lift the RV off the wheel enough to take off the rear utility side wheel to get to the top of the shock for installation. I watched the RV wheel and yelled over to […]
