Our destination Greenwood Lodge and Campsites</h4>
<div>
I was concerned about the amenities of this smaller RV Park and was pleasantly surprised.</div>
<div>
The lodge had a homey feeling and was perfect for our stay on a rainy day. The upstairs had hostel dormitory rooms. Four of us slept in the hostel, which gave us access to the full kitchen where we cooked dinner and breakfast.</div>

My good buddy Ray was killed in Vietnam February 1968. We were both due to be discharged in the fall of '68. We had planned to take a few months off and tour the US before going back to college.</div>

44 years later I'm making that tour to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project in memory of Ray. Ray's younger brother Rex may meet us at the end of the ride.</div>
