Made it to Hazelhurst, GA

September 27 – Since we  were  heading to Hazelhurst, GA to a  campground  with  water  and  electric only, we left a bit late so I could do a load of laundry.  The drive was about 3 hours and the weather was pretty good.  We were on 4 lane  roads  half  of  the  way  but  then  it  was 2 lane and I know there were some unhappy vehicles behind me, but, Oh well!

I thought the plan was to call Bill’s nephew Jeff, when we were about 15 miles out and he was going to meet us and take us into the park.  They have hosted here and were concerned with the signage and directions that we would miss the entrance and not be able to turn around.  I’m only the driver, and when Bill called we were much closer and they were just leaving their house.  We were able to pull in on a long turn lane in front of a lumber mill.  Being Sunday we didn’t think we’d be in anyone’s way!

Jeff and Kim saw us, pulled in front of us and lead us on down the road a couple more miles. Then it's packed dirt/gravel going in and the campground has a huge electric gate. We didn't have the code number as they change it frequently so Jeff called the 2 phone numbers posted and no one answered. He knew a back way in and he could drive it in his 4-wheel drive. By the time he got around to the other side, the maintenance guy showed up and gave us the current code.

So Jeff drove me around to see the sites as I was told to pick one. I took a long pull thru that looked like it was rather open in the trees and there might be a possibility we could get some satellite. We got parked and I was not aware that we were to go to their house as soon as we got set up. I was in my “driving” clothes that don't match and are not what I would wear out in public! I hurriedly opened the slides, put the AC on for Molly and put her food and water out and off we went.  When we got home later, we hadn’t un-secured the refrigerator and freezer doors, so I did it without thinking and a brand new big bottle of wine when crashing on the tile.  What a mess!  At least the bottle was green glass and easy to see!  I got out my metal yard stick and used it under the counters and fridge several times, dragging out glass, wine, cat food and assorted other debris.  Then we mopped the floor and swept the floor.  I was so mad at myself!  That’s what happens when your routine gets disturbed! 

Kim rode with me and Bill with Jeff and headed to their place and visited a long while and got tour of their “new to us” house. He has done a lot of work and it's a lovely, roomy house. I love the bright colors used and the refinished oak floors!  Jeff had made a beef stew for dinner and we enjoyed our meal for sure! We stayed a while after and drove home in the dark. It's about 8-9 miles from their place to the campground.  (that’s when the wine incident took place)
