Al0 - THE HURON EXPOSITOR, SEPTEMBER 22, 1982
Egmondville teens visit Virginia
Editor's Note: The following is a report on
a recent one-week trip.to the United States
taken by the Egmondville United Church
Communicants' Ctass, adapted from the
journal of Lana McIntosh, trip historian.
The first of a two part report.
On Friday, August 20, at 12 -noon,
I1 of us -- with assorted knap-sacks,
sleeping bags, and boxes of food and
utensils -- met at the church preps jt to
embark ori our long-awaited$trip to the 'U.S.
and historic Virginia. We Communicants
numbered eight:, Bryan Coleman, John
Dale, David Garrick, Ross McIntosh,
Darlene Moore, ljrenda and Dan Wesen-
berg. and myself. Serving as chaperones
and drivers were Glen Haney, and Mr. and
Mrs. David McKnight.
Before we Ie('t for London, where we
were to pick up\i,ur rented motor home, a
photographer from the Expositor appeared
to take a icture off us -- which made us feel
very important, like some group off
illustrious departing missionaries, Several
of our parents were also on hand to help
transport us and our baggage to London.
And thus we drove off with much energy"
and high hopes for the week of trave!
ahead.
Our 28 -foot motor home proved very
adequate for our needs, with its kitchen-
ette, tables, bath with shower, many small
cupboards and cabinets, and ample seating
for our small group. The sleeping facilities
were another matter. We found that the
vehicle slept eight just in case -- which we
used to advantage throughout. the trip.
After packing our belongings in the
motor home, and saying our good-byes
amid much clicking of cameras, we were
off by 3:30 p.m., bound for Detroit. All
went well until we neared the U.S, border,
when a kind motorist mentioned to us that
we had a slightly flat tire in the rear
(fortunately, its tire -mate kept us rolling).
.We were successful in patching the tire in
Detroit; but only to be beeped at by
another helpful motorist who indicated that
one of our outside storage compartments
was open and leaking a bag of clothing!
Having remedied these two early
problems, we felt ready to eat, and found
our way to a Kentucky Fried Chicken
restaurant. Our eyes were soon opened to
the realities of "inner-city" life when we
realized that we were separated from the
sales girls by one inch of bullet-proof elass!
We decided to eat our meal in the motor
home -- where the air -conditioner made life
more pleasant anyway. And we proceeded
toward our first night's stop in Shelby,
Ohio, enjoying the luxury of being able to
eat (and cook) while "on the road".
But around 11:00 p.m. we faced another
challenge. As, we approached a low-lying
bridge on a small country road near
Shelby, we noticed a sign stating that there
was only 10' 7" clearance --for our 11' 5"
motor home! Several of our boys, however.
took their courage in their hands and
guided us forward slowly, as one of them
climbed atop the vehicle to watch the
result. Through some miracle which still
baffles us, we made it without a scrape --
and with inches to spare.
Soon we were at our first stop -over: the
home' of Mr. McKnight's sister and
husband, Kay and Bob Hubert. Our tents
were up in record time (after locating one
elusive tent pole), and we settled down
for the night -- finally rea►izing that we
were indeed started on this somehow
hard -to -believe adventure.
The next morning life stirred at 7:00
a.m. -- which becatne our usual rising time
, throughout the trip. We fixed ourselves a
gourmet breakfast of Corn Flakes and Rice
Krispies, being too excited to wait for eggs
and bacon to cook. And then we explored
the Hubert's farm with Julie, their
16 -year-old daughter, filling the morning
with horseback riding, canoeing and
fishing.
Following a late -morning tour of Shelby
with Julie as our guide,•we returned for a
lunch of hamburgers while Mr. and Mrs.
McKnight joined in an all -day family
reunion they were committed to. Later that
afternoon we scouted out the nearby town
of Mansfield (cooking our supper in a
shopping mall parking lot!), followed by an
evening of relaxation prior to our first long
drive awaiting us the next day.
At 7:30 the next morning we treated
ourselves to another time -saving breakfast
of cereal. packed our things, said our thank
you and goodbyes to the Huberts, and
wtwere off for Virginia with Glen at the
wheel, It wasn't long before we discovered
another "stinkef" of a problem. Our
sink -water waste was backing up in the
bath tub, soaking a sleeping bag and some
clothes we had stored in the shower.
Realizing it was time to dump our sewage,

and also to get gas a quick stop to remedy
things -- only to have Ross and Mrs.
McKnight sprayed with gasoline when the
tank "burped" as Ross took the gas cap
off.
BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
After this latest in a series of initial
mishaps (fortunately the last of our trip),
we pushed on to Luray, Virginia, and the
Blue Ridge Mounstians, We arrived there
just in time to join the final tour of the day
to the Luray Caverns, the largest and most
popular in the eastern U.S. Following our
guide along one mile of tunnels crowded
with unusual geologic formations, we
emerged one hour later -- and found that
our tickets included a tour of- an adjoining
museum filled with an exhibit of brightly -
painted old -model automobiles. ,
With night falling, we were fortunate to
find a nearby campground (a budget -
minded "Good Sam Park"), and began our
first off three experiences with recreational
campgrounds. The park was amazingly
well-equipped with everything the camper
would need, including even such "refine -
mens" as washers and dryers, a video-
game room and fireworks for sale in the
camp grocery store! After hooking up our
motor home and setting up the tents, we
prepared a delicious -tasting 10:15 p.m.
spaghetti supper.- We then turned to our
laundry, which finished drying shortly
after midnight.
Arising the -next morning at our usual
7:00 a.m. hour, we got a good view of the
beautiful Blue Ridge Mou,rltains, which we
were camped in the midst of. A hearty
eggs -and -bacon breakfast followed, after
which we headed for the top of the Blue
Ridge, where we drove a30 -mile section of
the Skyline Drive -- alongside the famous
Appalachian Trail which meanders some
2,000 miles from Maine to Georgia. We
stopped often at the frequent "overlooks"
to get'better glimpses, and photographs, of
the peaks and valleys surrounding us.
And then we left the Drive, heading
toward Harrisonburg -- the high school
home town off Ralph Sampson, Virginia's
U.S. collegiate All-American basketball
player. Soon we stopped for a morning
worship service at the house of Dr. Charles
Wise, in the Shenandoah Valley. Dr.
Wise, a religion teal r 'and author of
three books on the life of Jesus, gave us a
record-setting 5 -minute sermon, followed
by a reading from one of his books (a
chapter entitled "The Feeding of the Five
Thousand"), And then we were off for
Staunton, and a restaurant parking lot
where we cooked another parking -lot -lunch
while the McKnights had coffee with
several local friends,
OLD HOME TOURS
Next came tours of two old homes: a
restored 100 -year -plus lbg house perched
atop a hill amid 50 acres of bush (where.
l,1r. and Mrs. McKnight lived before
coming to Egmondville;, and then "Monti-
cello", the colonial mansion which Thomas
Jefferson spent 40 years building, incor• .
porating a number of interesting inventions
of his own design. In the distance we could
see Chariottesville anjd the University of
Virginia --where the bpys imagined Ralph
Sampson was practising in the gym in
preparation for his last try at the national
college title! Across the, road from
Monticello we had a brief visit with Miss
Leonora Nichols, a descendent of a family
of famous painters and engravers, at her
quaint cottage built for President Franklin
P. Roosevelt as a summer resort,
