Aug 13 2012: Travel day from Asheville to Marion to Hickory NC

Today was our 'head 'em up n' movem' out day. Having an hour's travel eastward to Marion NC from Asheville gave us the morning to take our time packing up and seeing several class A's also checking out of Bear Creek. We got on I-40 about 10:30 a.m. and arrived at Tom Johnson's at 11:15. We had a two o'clock appointment and we were keeping our fingers crossed that they could get us in earlier to have Dish Network installed. However, during the scheduling of the appointment the service rep failed to tell us that we needed to have the receiver in hand. Since this arrangement fell through the proverbial Grand Canyon cracks we concluded our time at Tom Johnson's with acquiring an extended warranty contract on our rig. We hit the road again working our way east on I-40 to Indian Creek Campground at exit 119 in Hickory, where we had stayed early on in our trip. Tomorrow we have about a five-hour return home trip, so we expect to hit the road early to avoid traffic congestion around Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Raleigh.
