Friday, July 1 We pulled out of Stonecrest at 11:00 am and, after a few miles, George announced that he left his wallet and watch on the chest of drawers, so we turned around at Del Webb/Spruce Creek CC and returned home to retrieve his stuff so, make that 11:30 that we actually left Stonecrest.
We started an audio book named "Tourist Season" by Carl Hiaasen. We've listened to his books before and like him ok...albeit a little gorey at times. However, the title seemed appropriate since we live in a tourist town, are traveling to a tourist town and will pass through many other tourist towns along the way. The book took our minds off the driziling rain plunking on our windshield and made the drive seem shorter than it was.
After 7 hours, we reached New Green Acres RV Park, Walterboro, SC. The office was closed but they left us a site map, a lot assignment and a credit card receipt for our nightly fee. We've stayed in this park several times as it's just about the perfect time to stop for the night. We were, however, a bit worried as Mike Gaskill got his rig stuck in the mud here once and, after all, it had been raining most of the day. Looked at the site map and, sure enough, looks like we were assigned "Mike's spot". Just our luck. Well, it turned out ok as they had laid fresh gravel and, fortunately, we didn't get stuck. The drive here was 322 miles. This doesn't sound like a lot of miles but, trust me, in a big motorhome, it is; not to mention the fact that we don't exceed the speed limit, and, in some instances, we don't even go the speed limit.
Day 2 We got on the road at 9:15 am and it was a "slow train through Arkansas" as my mother would have said, except that we were in Virginia and, did I mention that it is still raining? After 7 hours and 320 miles, we rolled into Fort Chiswell RV Park in Max Meadows, VA. We have also stayed here before and I remembered that there was a crazy looking cat that hung out with me at the laundry facility. Took me a while to get up the nerve to pet it but, when I did, it wasn't nearly as mean as it looked. I asked about the cat and they told me that one of the employees took it home with her (about 10 miles away) but, after a week or so, the darned cat returned to the campground. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter the cat this visit.
Day 3 Today was our long travel day so we got on the road at 8:15. More sprinkles today and more audio books. We finished the first one yesterday and started "Skin Tight". After 9 hours, we reached Fireside Resort RV Park in Auburn, IN. Some parks use the term "resort" loosely....this is one of them.
