On the Road

Well, Monday was a good restful day. McKinney Campground is in Georgia, near Acworth. the town is just off the interstate 75 and the campground is only about 5 miles in, but it is a winding road, going around Allatoona Lake Dam to this campground. There are several campgrounds at this particular Corp Park.

Talked with a neighbor who was from England. 9 years ago they sold everything and bought a boat. Sailed across the ocean blue to various ports. They came to the States this fall and bought a class C -RV. Moored the boat in Fl. they have a year's visa here and will be doing this country. Interesting people.

To town for some groceries. We like this store, Ingles, it is only about 11 years old, but neat and clean with a nice variety of produce, meat and frozen foods. Drove thru town and then back to RV of some more R & R.

Took off this am with Ernie driving. We were going to take the by-pass around Atlanta.
We got on 285 just fine, but then I insisted that he take the right curve instead of the left, which the GPS said to take. Guess what? We were going the wrong way. so we finally got to a turn off that we could turn around and since we were both not too happy, (traffic is terrible) we got back to the I 75 exit, we took it. Forget the by-pass.
Finally got to a rest stop south of Atlanta and went in the building. Had a nice chat with the gentleman manning the booth. He and the lady are hired by the city of Macon. Not Georgia
transportation. I confessed to my error and we all had a laugh. He commented that we could laugh about it, which is good. We told him we were going south and that I wanted to take a short detour to this little grocery, filling station store across from the Georgia Veterans State Park. Oh, yes, he said. Stricklers. Have the best steaks around. And sausage and May Haw Jelly.
We did make it there, I am driving now, pulled up in front taking several parking places. (Ernie said to) and went in and got our meat and jelly. The butcher and owner laughed, oh, yes we get people from all over the country that like to stop here. He had just made the sausage that morning.
So, on down the road. We were going to stop at a particular RV park and Ernie decided to get on the internet and look up the Passport campgrounds to see if they had any new ones since the book was published last January. Yep! and it is nice. Passport campgrounds charge half price to members of Passport. They get more customers from that book than the other big books of campgrounds that charge full price all the time. Or only a 10% discount. Wanee Lake Country Club and RV Park. A 9 hole golf course, swimming pool, bar and then the usual RV needs. Full hook up, WiFi, etc. So we gave them info about FMCA. Don't we always?
Stayed in tonight, Possible get to Tampa Wednesday. We shall see. It is 64 Degrees at 8:15 pm
