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 . . .
