Our time in Delaware was nice, but we were all ready to head west, away from the cool coast and the densely populated areas.

After a quick stop in the DC area to re-provision (hello Costco!), we continued westward with a stop in Buchanan, VA. Our ultimate plan was to check out Roanoke, which is known for its bike trails. However, it is not known for RV parks. The closest we could find was Limestone Park Campground, 20 miles from Roanoke.

Limestone Park only has 14 sites and it was a quiet respite, until the cops showed up. Here’s a video of the arrest we took from our bedroom window.

Once the suspected domestic violence offender was hauled away, we had a very uneventful stay.

Besides hitting the local Planet Fitness we got the bikes out on the Roanoke River Greenway. The 30 mile trail runs through the city along the Roanoke River. The nice path through numerous parks and past popular landmarks allowed us to see a little of the city. We even had a picnic lunch along the trail.

The little town of Buchanan is known for its swinging bridge. The bridge dates back to 1851 and the original bridge was burned by the Confederates in 1864. Since the 1930s the bridge has been maintained by the city. And yes, it does swing (and bounce) as you walk across.

A nearby brewery called A Few Old Goats turned out to be a great place for Bob to relax, and our little campground was a great place for a campfire.
