Mama Gertie's Hidaway, Swannanoa, NC

Was lucky enough to spend my birthday with close friends at Mama Gertie's Hideaway Campground in Swannanoa, NC. The weather had been quite wet in the days leading up to our trip so was relieved when, the day before, the skies cleared and the sun came out.

On our way from Raleigh, we stopped at the CAT scales in Mebane. It had been awhile since we had checked on our weight distribution--actually before we got new axles--so I was anxious to confirm loading was correct. Rivet weighed in at 6400 lbs., 700 lbs below GVWR. Weight distribution was a bit uneven between TV front and rear axles and tongue weight was a bit heavy so we made some adjustments and ran through the scales again. All done in less than 20 minutes and on the road again.
