We arrived
at the Cape Charles, VA KOA campground for the View/Navion rally. There were 75
rigs in attendance. The focus of the
rally was to meet and share experiences with one another about our travels and
experiences with these motorhomes. We enjoyed
each other’s company individually and at gatherings like the potluck meals. There was a tech talk once a day at the picnic
area where everyone could ask questions and share their experiences. Three or
four volunteers were doing repairs and mods for those who wanted them.
The KOAcampground has several hundred sites, many with full hookups. There is a very large new pool and beach on
the bay. For Floridians, it was very
cold water.
A number of
tours were offered, and we went on the Chesapeake Bay bridge and tunnel tour to
get an inside look at the operations. It
was a very impressive tour. Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed inside the
buildings.
Many of the
rally group took a walking tour of the small town of Cape Charles. Two of the highlights were the wine tasting
and art gallery. The artist who owns the gallery creates vivid pictures of the
surrounding areas and are etched into steel sheets. Really beautiful and expensive. He came to
the campground and took our group picture.
The last
outing was to the Cape Charles Brewing Company, where members of our group put
on an Oyster feast. Anneke had her first
raw oysters and loved them. It was a
great evening of food, beer and camaraderie.

Looks like a great turnout and it’s always good to get together with friends and have fun!!!
We stayed at that campground a million years ago in a tent. We walked around the streets looking at all the RVs and wondering if we'd ever be able to afford one. Fast forward to today and we've had 4 RVs and the possibility of number five is getting closer (and smaller).
Have a well used tent for sale if anyone is interested. ;c)
That's a great group photo!!
That tunnel scared me to death..... well, almost
Oh I love raw oysters.
The bay bridge/tunnel is quite a feat. Have traveled it often through the years, having grown up in the northeast (NJ).
Wow, lots of people, lots of rigs, big KOA. A good time was had by all.
Looks like you had a great time, it is always nice to hang out with and talk to people that have the same rigs so you can compare notes.
