Reached Georgia-and it's peachy keen!

We were able to clock over 250 miles today and we have landed in another RV park of "G's" choosing. This time, he apparently did his homework and we are hooked up in the best campground thus far. It will rate a 5+ star.  We have a pull-through site at the end of the main road leading into the grounds and we overlook a pond, shuffleboard courts and indoor pool.  The roads are blacktop and the sites are cement pads with grass, patios, BBQ grills, shrubs a picnic table, wifi and cable. There are Crepe Myrtle bushes dividing the spaces, thus affording nice privacy.

Looking up from our site

When we checked in, we were given wifi access codes and a television directory! One of the many challenges of RV life is finding your favorite TV shows when you want to put your feet up at the end of the day. The directory will save time and prevent frustration. We will be spending the night and possibly tomorrow here, at Coastal Georgia RV Resort, in Brunswick, GA. We will definitely stop over here in the future.

The ride from Swamp Fox was mostly smooth sailing, but we did have a rubber-necking bottle-up at one point, which caused about a 45 minute delay. 

Bumper-to-bumper traffic due to rubber-necking
For our travel day, we were afforded a bright, sunny day with temperatures gradually warming up from 34° to 67° as we headed south. First, the gloves came off, then the jacket, the windows were opened and then the fans were put to use. It is such a great feeling to be wearing less clothes and breathing fresh air!

When we stopped for gas, we were surprised to find it prices at $2.49 per gallon. We had seen signs earlier and later boasting a $1.99 price, but we figured $.50 per gallon wasn't going to change our life-style all that much.

Tonight, we shall unload the Sentra and go out to dinner and the supermarket to stock up on a few essentials for the next few days.

Lucy began the first half of the trip rather disconcerted, but she gave up complaining around the SC/GA border. Now, she is very content looking out the screen door. Something she hasn't been able to do for a long time.

Deep thought for the day: "If, at first, you don't succeed (in finding a good spot for the night), try, try, try again."* Good thing "G's" second try hit the mark.  I'm not sure I would have given him many more attempts after Swamp Fox!


*While William Edward Hickson (January 7, 1803 – March 22, 1870), is credited with promoting this proverb, its origin has actually been traced back to the writings of Thomas H. Palmer.in his 'Teacher's Manual' and 'The Children of the New Forest' by Fredrick Maryat.
I'd like to set the record straight, that Hickson is credited yet Palmer coined it...:
'Tis a lesson you should heed:
Try, try, try again.
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try, try again.

  1. Congratulations. I love the green scenery and the clear blue sky. Sigh....Don't know about you but I think I'm not going to like staying a night or two only at each site....and there are nine of them. My stay in Clermont and in Del Ray Beach, will be longer. You've got a good location there. Enjoy it. See you soon. ~~Charlie
