Day 6

We left out about 11 am, our standard departure time.   We dropped down on Hwy 23 to US Hwy 58 and headed east.  I remember taking this route once heading west coming from Virginia Beach.  But, that was about 40-45 years ago.  Funny, it didn’t look the same.

It was a fairly relaxing drive today.  We didn’t get lost and the GPS remained civil.  Joyce did complain of the fresh water smelling.  I smelled it and, sure enough, it had that familiar rotten egg smell.  Time to freshen up.  So, we stopped at a grocery and I bought some chlorine bleach.  A little dab will do ya.  I drained the water tank and hot water tank while back on the road.

We stopped for the night at  Goose Point Park on Phillpot Lake.  It’s a nice Corp of Engineers park that had been recently redone.   

I added about ¼ cup of bleach and refilled the fresh water.  I’ll let it sit overnight then drain again and refill.  In the meantime, drinking, cooking and teeth brushing water will come from a bottle or directly from the faucet outside. Otherwise, it’s like drinking from a swimming pool.
