We arrived in Newport News, VA about 10:30. The campground is in a city park, a huge campground with more than 400 sites. It is a heavily wooded area along the banks of the city reservoir. It should be much cooler than the last campground which was right out in the sun. Other than going to Wal-Mart to stock up on groceries we did not do much today. We needed a day to rest up. Had a nice walk this evening and saw evidence of civil war battle grounds here in the campground. Confederate fortification trenches are in many areas. Of course there were no trees then but it is very interesting walking around this area and imagining those times.
