Asheboro, NC


4/11 - 04/17/2007	Our location - Asheboro, NC Zooland Resort
And then it was time to depart Florida! We said good-bye to Mom and Dad, hooked Sparky (the Jeep) up for the first time as a "toad" and headed north following the spring. We planned three travel days to get to North Carolina. *Red Rover* had a maintenance appointment at Central Carolina Trucking in Greensboro and we scheduled a visit with Dale's sister Dana and family in Raleigh. We decided to camp somewhere in between...Asheboro

	Along the way we saw the welcome signs of spring...light green feathery-leaved trees and blossoms.

	Three U.S. presidents were born in NC and are represented in this statue: Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk.
	The State Capitol grounds looked beautiful with all the azaleas in bloom. Here around a World War II Memorial.

	While walking on Fayetteville St., we noticed quite a few media trucks lined up right in front of the North Carolina State Bar office.
	Come to find out, after asking one of the guys setting up equipment, they were getting ready for the District Attorney, Mike Nifong's, ethics hearing scheduled for later that day. We did not hang around for the media crunch!

	Youngest niece, Clare Noelle, is getting measured for a larger violin. She is growing and the 1/4 size is just too short!
	The Zooland RV Park is located on a country road five miles from Asheboro. The entrance is attractive and spacious.
	The office and store. The Chicken Coop!
	Stream running through the park. Camp sites from afar.
	*Tige* at rest under the pines!
