On the road home

Monday we got up, finished packing, pulled out, Brad heading to the fuel station and I headed the fruit stand for oranges and the last of the good strawberries we would have for a while.  We finally, met up, got everything put away, hooked up the car and were on the road about 10:30.  What an ugly

Front window view!
Beautiful!!

day to pull out, I think for the first hour or 2 we had some pretty hard rain, but once we hit the Gainesville area, that cleared up and it was pretty easy sailing from there.  We headed up 301 to A1A looking forward to the leisurely 2 lane country road drive before we hit 95.  What a shock, it is now a cleared way back 4 lane  road....kind of sad, but still better than route I10 to I95.  We stopped in GA at exit 1 to finishing fill the Moho, $1.60 off a gallon of fuel, for our shopping at Winn-Dixie needed to be used and there was a station there we knew we could get in and out of fairly easy, $32.00 saving, was well worth the stop.  Back on the road, heading to Lake Harmony RV Park, and nice little place we had found a few years ago......oh, what a change and disappointment.  Most of the people there looked like they had moved in and weren't leaving any time soon.  We were parked at the front of the park, with a view of the lake out the front window....sad to say, that was the only good part of the place, I guess we'll be crossing that one off our list of stops.

Tuesday we planed on getting on the road by 9:00.....all good plans, right.  We didn't have much out since it was drizzly and overcast yesterday, so it was just a matter of cleaning up the inside, until Brad decided to check the tire pressure.  Now I do know that that needs done, but it was 10:30 until we pulled out and we have almost 300 miles to travel.  It went pretty well, other than a couple of extra stops to stretch our legs and walk Rudy....I think we are all out of practice with this traveling stuff.  We finally find our exit, get off and then have to decide which of the 3 directions in to the CG we want to use, I chose the web site directions.  Good choice, right to the Ebenezer Park CG. We stopped at the Ranger station to check in, disconnect the car and the Ranger was nice enough to move us from site 2 to site 27.  What a nice move, we have a level site (2 was not) and a beautiful view of the lake.  A relaxing evening at home, a walk to the lake and boat docks and a little hello with the neighbors....what a great way to end the day.  

Big Site!!

 Wednesday was a stay parked for a second day....yeah.  We put a little buffer in the trip so if we wanted to stay 2 nights some place we could....we decided this was the place.  Not the best of days, a little overcast, but it cleared up and the sun came out.  We didn't do much, walked around the CG, we are in the open area, there is a large area up in the woods, checking out the sites we might like in case we come back.  It is quiet here and it might become a regular stop on our way through.  We did have to go to the grocery store, needing bread and creamer, so we found a Harris Teeter about 2 miles away.....perfect, they even had a Starbucks in the store, ahhhh.  Reservations are made for tomorrow night at the KOA in Staunton, VA and then off to Dillsburg on Friday.....what a quick trip, but one that must be done.  Hopefully it will be some decent travel days, will keep you all posted.
