We arrived at our campground in Rincon, Georgia at about 5:00 today. We stayed at a nice rest area near Titusville last night. It turned out that the Super WalMart that we were going to stay in didn't allow overnight guests. They had city ordinance signs posted to tell us about it. The rest area was nice, with all night security and good lighting. Trucks coming and going were a little noisy. It bothered Sue more than me, but I think that we will both sleep better tonight.
The trip from Titusville to Rincon was 99% on I-95. It was a little windy, but not bad enough to make us pull over. There were also some construction areas where we had two lanes instead of three. Since we were not on a tight schedule, we just rolled along. I even got 30 minutes of nap time in when we stopped for lunch. The trip through Jacksonville, FL on 95 was nice because we got a good view of the city. We wanted to see the downtown area more so we decided not to take the I-295 bypass.
The only real snag in today's trip happened when we got off I-95. The directions that I had printed from Google said to turn right at the end of the exit ramp. We found out later, by calling the campground, that we should have turned left. We didn't think that we needed the GPS today, but maybe we will have to start using it along with the printed directions. The real problem was that when we made the wrong turn, we saw a street name that matched our directions and turn onto it. It took us almost immediately to a narrow country road with no place to turn a motorhome around and that turned out to be a DEAD END! Yipes. We had to take the car off of the tow dolly (which we were going to do at the campground anyway), take the dolly off so that I could back up and get the bus turned around. Then we reattached the dolly and once we got the correct directions from the campground, Sue just followed me in the car. Only a minor glitch. It's one of those memories, that 10 years from now, will make us wake up screaming in the middle of the night.
Tomorrow, we are thinking about taking one of the trolley tours around Savannah to kind of get our bearings and decide what we might want to go back and look at later on our own. We have until 4/24 so we should be able to do lots of sightseeing.
