Camper is freezing

For the first time ever we are camping in freezing weather. We woke up to 21 degrees outside our galley window. The water pipes in the ACE campground has frozen.

Augusta Elks, ME

  What a beautiful property The Elks has in Augusta, ME. High up on a hill overlooking the road below. Gorgeous lodge that looks like a winter chalet but only 2 sites with electric and no water hook-ups.
 A very quaint town on the banks of the Kennebec River.

Richmond, KY

We stayed in a Walmart in Richmond, KY about 2 miles off of route 75. Great location with lots of shopping around. We visited The Dollar Store, a sporting goods store and a Hobby Lobby.

It was a chilly night, we woke up to 55 degrees inside the trailer but it warmed up quickly.

At  rest area on 75 we met up with Larry Scovuto #3451 he was on the way to Maine and Vermont.

TCPC

The TN park is very picturesque and green with lots of old trees and blooming hydrangeas but the noise killed the beauty. This is the time when all the site occupants start arriving for the season. Well, since there is NOTHING else to do in the park they break out their lawn mowers and leaf blowers. You can hear them buzzing all day long.

John and his daughter Jackie arrived with their 2 poodles Andre and Pierre just a couple of days before us. They raked and mowed for 2 days to get their little lot in pristine condition.

We also met Dick and Sandy Post from our old Tampa Bay unit. We spent a nice evening chatting about all things Airstream.

Bonnie and Bob Hermann are also owners of a site in this park.

This is a nice retreat to come to and relax but one better be stocked full with groceries and paperbacks because this is WAY out there in the middle of nothing.

Leaving Helen

Beautiful sunny day. Temps are going in to the mid-80's today. We got hot already trying to get everything packed up.

We left the Airstream park at 10:40. Drove about 3 miles and came to a sudden stop. Vov noticed an outdoor rug laying on the side of the road. Vov hiked about a 1/4 of a mile up the mountain to pick up this rug. It turned out to be perfect colors, gray and black.

Finally, we got going on our way. We made our way to Dahlonega, through Cleveland, where we got gas, along route 75 and then turned on to 52. We followed that road west for a couple of hours, through Elijay on our way to TCPC.

May 9, Thursday

We left the Lake Griffin Park at 10:35 on Thursday morning. It was a beginning of a hot sunny day but we had one thing on our mind:"Helen, GA". Hoping that it would be cooler in the Georgia mountains.

We headed North on 441 and turned on to 75 right before the town of Belleview.

Southern Trails RV Park in Georgia around exit 120 has a race horse park near the campground.

Tuesday, May 7

Cool and sunny morning, just what the doctor ordered. On our way to Lake Griffin State Park. On route 75 we drove through a cloud of love bugs. They covered our windshield, splattering with great speed as they make love, connected to each other back to back. I guess that's their doggie style.
