Leaving RI on November 6th, it would be a series of one night stays so we could arrive in Charlotte on November 10th. Planning a trip in November is a little challenging because many of the campgrounds have already shut down for the winter so there are not a lot of choices. It was an uneventful drive to our first stop, Tri-State RV Park , a campground we had stayed at many times before.
Site 42, a large pull thru, would be our home for that first night. Not much else to say about our stay here. Located on acres near the base of Bald Eagle Mountain, the park has two campgrounds with 97 campsites 40 full hookup , three cottages, two yurts and the acre Foster Joseph Sayers Reservoir which offers boating, a marina with slips, fishing, swimming, four picnic areas, 11 miles of hiking trails and wildlife watching. For those who do not have an RV, other accommodations are available at the Nature Inn , an award-winning eco-lodge, which offers a blend of comfort and sustainability with stunning views of the lake and surrounding forest.
Fortunately we arrived at the park just before p. Army Corps of Engineers. This earth fill dam stands feet above the streambed, spans 6, feet in length and has a storage capacity of 99, acre-feet and controls a drainage area of square miles. In addition to having the dam named after him, there is a memorial park honoring Foster Joseph Sayers who was born on April 27, He enlisted in the U.
Tragically, on November 12, , near Thionville, France, Sayers exhibited extraordinary bravery when he advanced under intense enemy fire to position his machine gun just 20 yards from German forces. Recognizing the need to divert enemy attention to allow his company to maneuver, he charged directly into hostile fire, killing 12 German soldiers at close range.
