Back on the Road, moving North very slow!!!

Monday 4 April   Well we are finally on the road again.  We left Bushnell this morning at 9:30 for a 227 mile drive to Lake Harmony Ga.  We finally arrived around 3:30 or 4pm.  Six plus hours to drive 227 miles.  How did we do that you ask, first of all we drove separately and stopped a lot,  first to get

the Blue tooth working on my phone 20 miles down the road then lunch, gas, bathroom break, shut refrigerator door and latch it and poof we made it in just six hours.  But it was a nice day warm and sunny.  Definitely no fun driving is separate vehicles.

Tuesday 5 April     After studying the weather report for up north we decided to stay here another day.  We made breakfast on the grill, mail off our local taxes, went in town for lunch and then stopped at Fort King George one of the earliest forts built in America.   Turns out we were there 3 years ago.  Oh well, a short drive around town then back home took Rudy for nice walk and

in the Blackbeard's Creek, I
don't think he should be there.
just had a snack for dinner, we were still full from lunch. 

Wednesday 6 April    We were up and moving early again today we were on the road for a 225 mile drive to the Shaw AFB recreation area of Wateree.  And once again we progressed at a slow pace.  First stop a rest area, fuel, Denny's for lunch, stopped to shut window left open and last rest area and still made it by 4:30.  Dinner on the grill and a long hard review of the weather up in PA.  Are you kidding us snow and freezing weather we are staying south for another week or so.

Thursday 7 April     Had to put jeans on this morning to walk Rudy temp's down in the 40's. I walked Rudy down to the office and paid for a few more days.   A quick breakfast, a load of laundry and we spent the rest of the day finding a place in Missouri and making reservations for summer vacation with the kids.  All of the computer work left our eyes blurry, burning and sore.  I couple glasses of wine and we could see just fine.  Burgers on the
Nice big site at Wateree
grill and called it a day.

Friday 8 April    Cold again this morning but it warms up fairly fast but still wore jeans all day.  I guess the shorts might as well go in the laundry.  We did breakfast on the grill and headed into down town Camden SC.  It was quite interesting, a revolutionary battle was fought here, we visited a number of antique stores, had lunch at The Old Armory(not bad) and stopped for groceries before heading back. Walk for Rudy and again just snacks for dinner, lunch was late and very large.

All the big turtles left, but this
tiny thing posed for me.
Saturday 9 April   Cold again this morning, but the thermal warmed up the Moho very nicely.  Breakfast on the grill this morning, right after Brad got back from town to get bread, yes we forgot it yesterday.  A slow start to the day but we finally headed out, north on route 97, first to check out our ride out of here and second to see what was in that direction.  First place we found was Great Falls, a very depressed, kind of sad little town.  We headed further up the road, in search of Wine and found the town of Lancaster, very large place with lots of stores and shopping.  We really didn't do much shopping as the wind was pretty fierce, so we got our wine and headed home, following the GPS down some pretty narrow windy roads....but we made it.  A stroll around the CG with Rudy, snacks and left overs for dinner and now just finishing up the blog.  Tomorrow we will be on the road again for another leg of the very slow drive back to PA. 


Smallest Hydrant
we have ever seen!!
Thanks,
Brad, Diane and Rudy
Nice Cabins along the
water edge.
