Spotsylvania VA to Kinston NC

Beautiful sunny day for a drive south.  We ended up in Kinston NC.  Looks like a nice place.  I think we'll stay a while.  Not that we have much choice.  You see, we had a little misadventure here.  We wrecked the truck.  Yup.  Made a heap big mess of it.  Quite likely totaled, at least I hope so.  WE are ALL OK!!  Carlene, Callahan and Andy are just fine.  Not a scratch.  And the other guy involved got one band-aid. So the human/canine factor is feeling fine!  I had recently named my frequently-ailing truck "Calamity Joe".  Maybe he took exception to that.  Anyway, he may be totaled.  Huge front end damage as a van came across in front of us and collided with our front end.

So tonight we are camping in the back lot of a body shop, the owner hauled the camper over here with his own truck and let us stay here tonight.  We;ll find a state park or something tomorrow and he will again haul us over there.  We'll stay here until something gets resolved.  Until the insurance company decides the fate of Calamity Joe  we won't know what we are doing next.  From the damage I can see I know I do not want it repaired.  We have a rental car but it won't pull the camper very far!

Well, that's about all there is to report today!  Maybe tomorrow I'll send some photos.
