Driving through Georgia

September 17 – We’re over halfway home!  Good thing we got that AC working as we certainly needed it last night.  Welcome back to the Sunny South!

JP and Bill
Bill’s friend, JP lives near Cordele, GA and the plan was to call him a few minutes before reaching the exit for his town.  As the time approached we decided it would work out to be our lunch stop so we found there was a Pilot Truck stop at the exit.  We filled up the RV and then parked out back where lucky for us they had a row of pull thru spots.  Sometimes there are only back in spaces and we can’t do that with the car in tow.  I started getting our lunch out and Bill called JP and he was there in less than 5 minutes.  The school where he teaches is literally just up the road.  He visited with us as we ate and then since we didn’t have far to go to our stop for the night, he took Bill to see his school and the athletic facilities and then to his house for a tour.  JP taught with Bill at West Orange and Ocoee HS before moving his family back to his home town in GA last year.  They both enjoyed their visit although it was short.
Our view of the duck pond

We had less than 100 miles to Hahira, GA where we were staying at another ½ price campground.  We pulled in behind another RV and the place was looking a little full.  We had called in earlier and were on the list.  What a nice little 
campground.  We were in the first space facing a little pond that you can catch and release fish and there were ducks and geese.  The spaces were gravel and close to level with full hookups.  I’ll write a good review on that one!

I George’d burgers and made some Waldorf salad with my Ohio apples and we had the leftover sweet potatoes.  It was very hot out and we are just not acclimated to it.  Give us a couple of days!


Tomorrow we will be back in Florida.  Wow, can hardly believe the summer is over.  We will be meeting up with our camping club in Bushnell tomorrow for a fun weekend to finish off our summer.
