After a long sometimes brutally hot day anywhere is nice. We used Passport America to find our first nights stay. We are at Ingram’s Marina and Campground near Quincy, Florida. It’s easy enough to find. Sites are well spread out and seem kept up nicely. The lady at the office was very pleasant and said…
Here we go again.
Two years seem to be all Goodyear tires can give us. Every year we have a flat tire on one side or the other. Last year it was the passenger side, this year driver’s side. Fortunately, a Wal-Mart was nearby. Unfortunately, all they have are Goodyear. Oh well, it’s better than nothing. Next year we…
Cross City Crosses
Taking the country roads has added benefits the highway doesn’t, being able to see American life. Cross City is a small town. It has a nice bike trail and a sense if patriotism. Way to go Cross City.
On the Road Again
Another school year done, another summer to begin. This year promises to be quite interesting as we are changing things up a bit. Normally, Capt. Jim prefers to make reservations for the whole summer. This year we are “winging it.” NO RESERVATIONS! We plan on heading north, northish. (Originally we were to go to Colorado…
Roan Mountain Visitor Center
If you visit Roan Mountain, the Roan Mountain Gristmill visitor’s center is a must see. The Gristmill has clean restrooms, a very nice gift shop, some educational areas that kids will especially like and the Mill itself, which has artifacts throughout. Part of the river runs in front of the Vistor’s Center. Fly fishermen were…
Sadler State Park South Carolina June 4th 2017
Sadler State Park turned out to be quite a gem, 395 Acres of beautiful forests on a peninsula of Lake Hartwell (56,000 acres). We stayed on Loop #1, site # 1, a pull through that abutts up to the water. After quickly setting up, little man and I took a walk down to the beach…
Flat Tire 6-4-17
Thump, thump. Flat tire on US1! The front left passenger side of the camper suffered a flat tire. Actually, flat is an understatement-it was shredded. Not to worry, Capt. Jim was totally prepared. The best tool he carried was an impact wrench, as it made quick work of the lugnuts. He was a Pit Stop…
Gordonia State Park, Georgia
Gordonia State Park was hard to find due to poor signage. We almost missed it. There was a separate entrance that we happened on while heading to Walmart. We followed the GPS even though the sign on the road said “Dead End.” It wasn’t a Dead End. Go figure. It has a lot to offer;…
Laura Walker State Park
Laura Walker State Park is in Georgia. This park has pleasant staff. I loved how the Rangers talk to the kids as they played. We watched as he even went over to a teen boy on a bike and shook his hand and had a short conversation. This is a quiet, clean, well kept campground….
No coffee in the house
Saturday, June 3rd, 2017 After an uneventful, quiet night at Laura S Walker State Park we are once again on the road. Having no coffee “in the house” causes one to pack quickly and efficiently. The gas problem was solved five miles down the road in a teeny tiny town called Hoboken. I kid you…
