The journey should not be too difficult.  The campground looks nice.  Tucked at the base of the Blue Ridge, it is a shady, quiet place &#8211; small pool and shaded areas where the RVs are tethered to their power and water supplies.  There was a ham RV in the camp, but I can&#8217;t remember his callsign.  Nice Class A motorhome with a small vertical antenna mounted on the back.<\/p>\n<p>I got another envelope from the QSL bureau!  It had about 4 or 5 QSL cards from Belgium.  One had the special &#8220;OO&#8221; callsign from last year&#8217;s anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Received a letter from Tom, AA4TB, in South Carolina that I asked about setting up a CW sked.  A regular CW sked would really help me out and get me on the air practicing CW.  I need to reply to him.<\/p>\n<p>Been sampling the Samuel Adams Brewer Patriot Collection.  Four 12oz beers come in a box.  The flavors are interesting: Traditional Ginger Honey Ale, James Madison\u2122 Dark Wheat Ale, George Washington Porter\u00ae and 1790 Root Beer Brew\u2122.  Now, understand that I am usually an adventurous beer drinker&#8230; but the Root Beer Brew was not good.  Tasted like a juniper bush and licorious placed in a vat of otherwise unimpressive beer.  The George Washington Porter was pretty good, although I&#8217;m not a huge porter fan.  I haven&#8217;t got to the other two flavors yet&#8230; we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of today &#8211; I need to clean up the shack (&#8230; and the rest of the house!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got to do a recon up to the Misty Mountain Campground where I&#8217;ll be headed over Labor Day.
