Today we continued South to the Fort Mill, SC KOA which is at the second exit across the state line from Charlotte. It was an uneventful trip and the Expedition did another fine job of traversing some decent inclines (and declines) like the one at Fancy Gap on I-77. We stopped for fuel at an Exxon (Walmart+ discount) near the intersection of I-81 and I-77 and ate Beth’s homemade sandwiches in the parking lot.
This is a very convenient campground. It’s about 1/2 mile off I-77, although we do seem to be in the Charlotte airport’s landing pattern, but that doesn’t bother us. We can walk to the nearby Publix (we have Pub Subs for the Bucs Monday Night Football game tonight). We chose a back-in site to save $12/night. Had we known that meant that we’d be backing up to a camper behind us (we’re about 3′ apart), we probably would have splurged for the pull thru, but it’s only two nights. We have full hookups, but quite a few trees limiting our Dish antenna to satellites 61.5 and 110. However, we seem to be receiving all of the channels that we care about. Our AT&T hotspot connection is receiving excellent connectivity at 242/20 Mbps download/upload speeds. Our TV antenna is picking up all local channels out of Charlotte, NC.
