Another early morning, headed out, stopped to pick up a quick breakfast just before getting on I-77, then headed north to our next location. We had time, so we took a side trip to Kings Mountain. This is a horse camp I’ve had on my radar for some time, but haven’t had a chance to check out. We’ve been considering coming here between jobs, but after seeing it, we decided it wouldn’t work this trip, mainly because it is so deep in the woods (which we normally like) that we wouldn’t be able to get a satellite dish (which Hubby wants while I take a short trip for another job at Baltimore for a few days). Cell phone signal is here, but not by much either. So we’re glad we checked it out, now we just need an alternative for the week between jobs we have upcoming. We headed back out to the DCT Farms in Bessemer City, and were warmly greeted by owner Jena and her handyman (and ex-husband) Wade. Had a little trouble negotiating the low limbs coming in the driveway, but Wade climbed on top and kept them from scraping anything off the roof. Once up to the barn, they had already cut some limbs off another big tree in order to make a space for us, and we were grateful. It’s a perfect spot, with some shade and some sun, excellent for a satellite dish, had a good cell phone signal, and is less than 30 minutes from the airport (not the mention, the price is right!) We got settled in, the horses have their own paddock (though there was a bit of a ruckus with the horses in the paddock next door at feeding time), and the dogs even got to know Jena’s pack, and started to fit in nicely. Overall, it looks like it will be a great place for all concerned!
