Hello Virginia Roll Call

Sachita · 08-23-2011, 03:47 PM

I was in Earth Fare with Wanton Boi when it happened. Some honey fell off the shelf and this was in Greensboro NC. All of a sudden everyone is blowing up my phone to make sure I'm ok. It seems cell service was out for a little bit and no one could reach me.

How odd having an earthquake here. It's seems the sky is falling

I tell myself I will go to Hillsville every year but at the last minute I think about the traffic and crowds. I change my mind.

I thought about going to Hillsville, but I have a swap meet on Saturday and Sundays are not a favorite travel day... Then without staying over night, 4 hours out and them 4 hours back...not on my book for this year.

I will say that hotel room prices are OUTRAGEOUS. The only reason I agreed to pay $180 A NIGHT at a HOLIDAY INN is because its a special thing for Jess and I to run away from home for a night, especially when there might be Jade-ite or any of the other treasures we collect. I am not fond of the drive to Hillsville over Lover's Leap and I really, really didn't want to do that curvyass mountain cliff hanging drive with 500K other folks on the road.

I think next year we might have to look at RVing it. Depending on our experience this year, next year might not be an option!

I hope everyone in VA is okay and didn't get too much damage from the Quake. I'm in CO where we had about a dozen smaller ones over the past 24 hours and one I felt a bit last night was a 5.3.

OMGoodness! That is outrageous! I had thought of pulling my rv camper, but I was booked for this flea market and that put that out of my calender. I will keep that in mind for next year.

I am an hour and half I think from Hillsville. If I went I would just drive. If you have an RV you're welcome to hook it up at the farm and stay a few nights. I have an RV outlet and a hose to hook to your water, just no sewer.

Wow, that is very generous of you, Thank you! I am sure there is a dumping station somewhere. It may have to be in my plans for next year!
