Almost Home (6/29/2014)

After an early breakfast and taking care of “RV business,” it was time to hit the road. In addition to a drive of 175 or so miles, we also had to add another hour for the time zone difference as we wanted to get to the campground by noon. Barbara drove and we arrived to check on campsites. When the attendant asked what we would be sleeping in and I told her a 19’ trailer, she said that should be easy. There were about 6 sites still available plus what they called the “overflow sites” which are just grass without tables or fire pits. The campground didn’t have any signs telling what sites were where, but we came across one that was listed as available and would work out fine for us. We went back, paid for the site and slipped the Escape into position. A quick lunch and then we drove over to Publix to resupply for the rest of the trip. Right before dinner time we were able to get in touch with our good friends Ron and Betty. They came over to check out the camper and then we hopped into Ron’s car to head over to a favorite Italian restaurant of theirs. Good food and good conversation with lots of laughs! Afterwards we stopped over their house and then back to the camper. Tomorrow, we will head over to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for our last 4 nights of this trip!
