Nice here in Georgia




Well, I did escape the Camping World campground.  Got on the road and decided I didn't want to put in the additional 264 miles from my originally planned campsite in Georgia to my next stop in High Springs, Fl, and will do that tomorrow.  Even retired I still seem to think I need to be on schedule!!  These are hard things to overcome.  So, I am now all tucked in to this perfectly lovely state park (High Falls SP, Jackson GA), and much to my relief, everything on the buggy is working -- water (including hot!), propane coach heater, all lights and, of course, the fridge. And all 6 tires look just fine. I had been worried about the propane heater and stopped in at the Camping World store/service center this am, only to find that they would charge me >$75 just to check it out.  Decided to do without it, if necessary.  I am, after all, going to Florida for heavens sake.  Good call -- it's working like a charm now.

The pictures above are out the camper door looking over my site.  Lovely, lovely winter woods.  I couldn't be happier, EXCEPT that everyone here (there are 8 around me) has a dog with them, and I miss our own canines.  I just saw a very large man walking a dog that couldn't be more than 4 pounds.  Our cats all weigh more.  My neighbors here are all in these perfectly COLOSSAL rigs.  And all but one of the dogs (a Springer Spaniel mix, I think) is tiny.  I do feel like a poor cousin in my nearly antique buggy, without a Dish satellite receiver.  My mobile WiFi  hotspot, however, is terrific . . .
