Here we are in the Swamp!

Day 50 - Friday, September 2, 2022

Carrollwoods RV Campground and Vineyard, Tabor City, NC

There's so much to see in the front of the campground, and today on our seventh day here we explore.   No trees here, but we see many farm implements scattered around the yard.  The first thing we come to as we enter, of course, is the dark red building where we check in and pay for the number of days we will rent our site.  

Nearby are two bright red implements, one of which may be a disk or a plow that would be towed by a tractor or a team of horses or mules.  It is a decoration now, but it could have been used to plant the vineyard across the side street from the check-in building.  I have no idea what the other one was used for.

Also across the side street is a whole other area where the vineyard is located, as well as Grapeful Sisters wine tasting room that we hope to visit another day while we are here at Carrollwoods.  Walking past the vineyard, we see trees that look a lot like apple trees, and I make a mental note to ask about them.

The entrance road into the campground leads past the check in building and toward the back area, which I call 'The Swamp,' because that is what it looks like to me.  Another clue is the name of a highway leading to the campground -- Swamp Fox Road.  

Walking back into the swamp, we arrive to Sweet Georgia Brown, which has a sunlit site.  In spite of the blue skies straight above us, there are still too many trees blocking StarLink from seeing the satellite to give us Internet.  The good news is that Carrollwoods RV park furnishes high speed Internet, so Herb puts StarLink away for a few days.
