Homeward Bound-2011

Last night, we stayed at High Springs Campground in northern Florida. It was a journey of about 300 miles from Bonita Springs. The trip went well, with the normal stop for lunch and another for gasoline. We did have a traffic jam after we passed Sarasota that probably cost us an hour. We still arrived at the campground at 4:45pm. Our site is shown below.


A pretty good thunderstorm arrived around 4:30 am. We lost our electricity for a while and got a lot of rain. Further north, in Georgia, the storm was more severe and six people were killed in the state.

We started out today (Tuesday) with gray skies and cooler temperatures. As we moved into Georgia, the sun came out and made for a really nice day on the road. We got to the KOA campground near Forsyth, GA about 4:15. Wickett has been sleeping even more than usual today. He was awake a lot last night because of the storm. We have stayed at this KOA before. One of their traditions is that they deliver a box of three very large chocolate chip cookies to your site after you have had time to get settled. They are very, very good cookies. Below is a picture of our site here in Georgia.


Tomorrow, we go to Jellystone Park Campground in Nashville for a three night stay and a visit with Howard and all the Moomys and Meadors. The forecast here tonight is for temps in the upper 30's, so it will be time to turn on the furnace. I guess that is good preparation for Ohio weather.
