I knew something was up this morning when Mom and Dad started packing the old RV. I've become a veteran of this sort of travel; having logged about 5000 miles to Nova Scotia last summer and then a trek down to Key West, Florida for Christmas. It's a little boring staring up at Mom and Dad for four hours but I really have a blast once we get to the camp ground. Tonight we're staying in a KOA park east of Ashville. Really pretty setting with lots of mountains in the distance. Mom says we're near a lake so I'm hoping for a quick dip before dinner, which for me is the good ol Eukanuba. Mom and Dad are doing some fried chicken (already cooked) so no culinary extravaganza tonight.
I figured we traveled about 300 miles today; left about 8:30 AM from Dataw, arrived here at about 3:00M.
Here's Dad with some local history:
We're a few miles from Hendersonville, and arguably the most infamous person from Hendersonville is William Dathan Holbert, a.k.a. "Wild Bill Cortez", a serial killer who murdered several persons in Bocas del Toro, Panama between 2007 and 2010. Holbert reportedly would befriend land owners and then murder them so he could take over and use or sell their property. Several bodies were found in a makeshift graveyard near a hotel run by Holbert. The story has been widely reported in U.S. and foreign news outlets.
So we'll check in tomorrow night.
