If you look closely you can see the cows |
I woke up to the sounds of mooing this morning. It was sure better than the sounds of bears. We had spent the night in a cow pasture. And it was also in the path of a local bear.
I packed up camp and headed into town to Blue Ridge Overland Gear.

The shop is located in Bedford a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. They provide several jobs in this community to help support small town USA.
I found this company years ago and have been using their products in my Jeep. I have several molle bags as well as their seat back panel. Check it out here in this blog post.
Blue Ridge Overland Gear specializes in Molle and canvas bags which are all hand sewn right in the shop by local townsfolk.
I got a tour of the small town "factory" Blue Ridge Overland Gear Tour After the tour and great conversation with Matt, the owner of the company, we headed to James River Park for the Roof Top Tent Rally.
I found a spot way off in the corner and began setting up our campsite. Then got to work on dinner.

As the chicken was getting juicy on the grill, I made quick work of the peppers and onions with our new camp kitchen knifes from L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives. Then started frying them up.
It was nice to have the time to spend making a yummy dinner.
I made Chicken Quesadilla's for dinner that night. I used the left over chicken to have chicken salad sandwiches the next day for lunch. I was looking forward to a relaxing night by the campfire. Then checking out the Roof Top Tent Rally the next morning.
