I set the TV to come on at 7AM to wake me up to prepare for travel. After rolling over a couple of times I was up at 7:30 to start packing and preparing to travel. One thing that took more time than usual was dumping the tanks. Since I will not have any sewer hookup for the next two weeks, I flushed the black tank thoroughly. It adds about a half an hour to the overall process. It was just before the 11AM checkout when I departed my site.

Based on yesterday’s scouting I headed north opposite my intended direction to the first exit off of Interstate 75 in Georgia. Gas was even cheaper today than yesterday. I filled the tank at $3.35 a gallon. The price of gas on my intended path was $3.69 and $3.89 a gallon. The short detour to Georgia was well worth the effort. Each county in Florida has its own tax rate on gas, but they are all higher than in Georgia.

I continue to be very cautious towing the new car. Everything seemed to go fine today, but I’m not sure the charge line from the motorhome is working. I will get my multi meter out and chance that down while I am here. I am still very paranoid during my travel day. Every little bang, squeak or jerk gets my attention quickly. The motorhome may also have a few new performance issues that I need to deal with.

After one stop for an hour or so to delay my arrival time to account for the 3PM checkout time, I arrived at the Army Corp of Engineers Eastbank campground. It is part of the Lake Seminole recreation area. The campground is located just north of the state line in Georgia, but the nearest town is Chattahoochee Florida. I have stayed here for a couple of weeks each year since 2020. This is the third time I’ve been on this particular site. It is not a huge campground with 63 sites, but it is very relaxing with a lot of scenery along the side of the lake.
