This was my last full day in the Jacksonville area at Pecan Park RV Resort. I’ve been here since the end of June. It was a long hot stay, but it was reasonably productive. My primary task of buying a new car and getting it setup to be towed behind my motorhome was accomplished. That was the reason for the long stay. I was also able to get a few other things accomplished that are hard to do when you move every week or two. It was nice being able to get Amazon deliveries right to my site. There are still several motorhome maintenance tasks that I need to accomplish. I’ll try to fit those in as I continue my travels.

It was a warm day with the high temperature in the low nineties. Most of the day was overcast, humid and without a lot of wind. The sun came out often enough to make being in the sun very uncomfortable. I had several outside travel preparation tasks to accomplish that I tried to do early before it got hot and late after the sun was lower in the sky. It was a partial success. There are a couple of more tasks that I need to do in the morning before I travel. Checkout is at 11AM.

During the middle of the day I made my final grocery run in Jacksonville. I have enough supplies for a couple of weeks if I need to go that long. Significant supplies are more than twenty miles away from each of my next two stops. The Walmart wasn’t as busy this afternoon. My refrigerator, freezer and cabinets are now full.

I have about 115 miles of mostly Interstate driving to travel tomorrow. This will be my first time towing my new car, so the hookup procedure will be a little different. Hopefully the Chevy Equinox will tow as well as my Honda CR-V did. I am nervous about the experience and will probably stop more than a few times to check things out. The distance was also calculated to breakup a longer travel day. After a couple of night stay and any necessary regrouping, I’ll move on another 120 miles for a two week stay.
