We were looking for a spot to stop for two nights, within a couple hours drive of Marcia's life-long (nearly 60 years now) friend's house where she lives with extended family. More on that tomorrow or the next blog I do...
Don't know WHY some of these parks call themselves "RESORTS", and this one is a prime example of it. It is an older RV park, with little to no comforts one would find at a true RV Resort.
It is a former KOA, one from the 60's by the looks of the building...when you see an A-Frame like this in a RV Park, it is an old KOA.
The sites are on gravel which has grass growing up in the gravel. They advertise $20 a night on a sign along the freeway, but as a Passport America park, it is only $18...unless you want sewer and 50 amp. We only need 30 amp, but those sites are in the back and the WiFi is not strong enough to give us anything we can use. Our Verizon Aircard picks up one to three bars, but in reality it is not giving us anything we can use...like 1/10th of a meg which is like the old dial-up Internet from when I was a kid...I mean adult, but it seems so long ago it seems like I was a kid...and that is only 25 some odd years ago! Bottom line, we moved into a 50 amp area closer to the A-Frame where the WiFi beams out from (no extra antennas throughout the park either), at a price of $25 per night...cash. Still, it has provided us a good night sleep, ability to sleep in for the first time in weeks, and I haven't even un-hooked the car.
There is ample grass for Indy to run around in. Above she is on the scent of something. Last night I tried twice to get her to do her nightly business...to no avail. But the 4:30 am wake up call did its trick, it only took her a few seconds to unload, out on the grass. So far, no messes in the motorhome, outside of what we call puppy pee...where she is so excited she drips just a small amount as I try to hook her up to her leash, or we come home from a dinner out. She is getting better and better at not getting so excited.
After a trip outside she takes a nap under Marcia's open recliner. We have always worried about forgetting that she is there, so I asked Marcia to slowly put her recliner down, and sure enough, Indy got right out of the way, and ...
...up on Marcia's lap to get some loving.
We have three weeks to get up to the Cleveland area, and I have been plotting out a relaxing route through Northwest Georgia, Central Tennessee and Kentucky.
PS: The traffic headed north out of Florida was absolutely terrible. People driving like maniacs, fighting to get into truck stops for food and fuel, no accidents, no road construction, just stupid drivers.
Everyone is heading out for the fourth. I hate that traffic!! Sure seems to me there are more and more stupid drivers. Around here they seem to think they are playing in a video game. Looks like Indy is getting the hang of traveling!!
