Car Camping

The Roan Mountain park ranger seemed a bit surprised to see us. When he came by to collect our $10 fee he said we were the first ones he'd seen "in these parts" in many months. The lady at the small general store down the street also thought we were nuts. But she did sell us a gallon of water, bag of jumbo marshmallows, a fire starter log and 5 smartie suckers, all for $9.49. No snow = camping season. Plus we got the place to ourselves, if you don't count the deer.
