It's Warm!



Another pleasant day of travel. It was a little cool and slightly foggy when we left camp this morning. We had no problems (knock on wood) today. No traffic jams or construction zones or anything. Gas is a little cheaper down here. We saw one station that had a price of $1.33.9/gallon posted. We didn't need gas and we were probably to large for that station anyway.

We got to Whispering Pines (Rincon, GA) about 4:00 today. There was a PILOT gas station at the exit when we left I-95. We filled the tank ($1.59.9) so we are primed and ready for tomorrow morning. It is only about three miles from the interstate to the campground. I included a few pictures of our home-for-tonight. Notice the flagpole picture. Not everyone down here believes that the Civil War is over. I guess the fact that the U.S. flag is above the Confederate flag should be taken as a positive sign.
Actually, I think that the lower flag is the Georgia flag that was supposed to disappear a few years ago. The new one doesn't have the "Stars and Bars" on it. Our neighbors here are from New Brunswick, Canada and the gentlemen has a manner of speaking that is a masculine version of the way Celine Dion talks. Cool!

Tomorrow, it's on to Tampa. Yee-Hah!!

That looks like a really nice campground...very woodsy...almost like you are camping except that you are in a "house".

Still haven't found a bathing suit that doesn't make me feel like a beached whale...so there may not be much swimming next week.
