Sunday we awoke to the sun....finally.  With only a 92 mile drive to our next stop, we spent the morning walking on the Little Mountain Falls trail, giving Ranger a chance to expend some of his considerable energy.  We left Fairy Stone SP in early afternoon for a drive that was mostly on winding two-lane roads.  We crossed into North Carolina and drove through Mt. Airy, NC, which is the home of the Andy Griffiths Museum.  Local businesses' names tended to reference Mayberry and its characters.

We arrived at Stone Mountain State Park around 4:30.  The park is relatively new and the camping area is in an open field, though they did leave patches of tall grasses and wildflowers as barriers between sites.  The area with electric hookups has only 8 campers, so we have plenty of privacy.  Although the forecast is for much rain over the next two days, the evening was pleasant enough to grill dinner and sit out at a fire.  We even got to see an almost full moon rising before the clouds moved in.

Sometime during the night, the rain started, and from the weather report, it will continue through the day and night, with the chance of rain dropping to only 70% tomorrow.  Fortunately we are dry and snug in our RV, and we have plenty of snacks and reading matter.  I was able to get Ranger out for a long walk early in the day, before the heavier rain set in, and the park is very nice----well-kept with many hiking trails, which will have to be left for a drier day.
