Thursday August 24th 2023

After the activity and tension of yesterday’s travel I really slept last night. I don’t think I moved from the time I fell asleep to when I woke up just before 9AM this morning. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to sleep that late tomorrow morning. I am moving on again on Friday and checkout is at 11AM.

I spent the morning with a second cup of breakfast coffee and my tablet reading the news headlines and watching a couple of YouTube videos. In the afternoon I did a little re-familiarization touring of the area. My mission was to scout out a gas station to fill the motorhome tank tomorrow. The station with the best access had the highest price at $3.89 a gallon. Another station with poorer access had gas at $3.69. I’ve bought gas there in the past, but it was a challenge. The cheapest option is in the opposite direction from my route. Gas is $3.49 a gallon at the station just over the state line in GA. It is about a ten mile detour which is about a gallon and a half of gas. Since I’ll be putting in about fifty gallons it is worth the detour.

This campground is used as an overnight stop by travelers. Last night there were a dozen other RVs around me. By checkout time this morning, I was one of only three RVs remaining. By 2PM the park was filling up with the next set of overnighters. While the park was near empty the birds were having a good time in the retention pond. I took the opportunity to take a few pictures while I walked around the park. The young birds particularly liked the shade provided by the gazebo.

Tomorrow I’m moving another hundred and twenty miles to the west. I’ll be at on the side of Lake Seminole for a two week stay. It is another campground I’ve been to before and is a nice relaxing place to stay.
