Almost half the drive from Styx River Resort in AL to Albany RV Resort in GA was on I-10 headed east. Then we turned north on FL state hwy 77. That is when it really got beautiful. The back roads are interesting and different from the interstate. We passed thru areas that obviously had gotten lots of rain and probably flash flooding. The ditches were full on both sides of the roads. The rivers we crossed were all over their banks. Dusty failed to take pictures. She was busy gawking and didn't think about taking pictures.
The GPS had us heading south towards Albany RV Resort. Then we saw the sign and it was the side of the road heading north.
Then the GPS told us to make a u-turn. Are you kidding me?? Make a
u-turn in a 40 ft coach towing a Jeep??? We could NOT make a u-turn so
turned left on a road just after the RV park with the hopes that we could turn
around somewhere. Along the way workers had the traffic temporarily stopped.
It did not take long and we were on our way. However turning around was never an option. The GPS finally figured out where we were and started giving us what seemed to be valid directions. SURPRISE we were directed to turn onto a road that was closed for construction about 100 yards after we turned onto it. We finally gave up and disconnected the Jeep. Tic was able to turn the coach around and we went back the way we came so we ended up on the correct side of the road to be able to turn into the park. With all this extra driving it took an extra hour.
It is a pretty park with gravel roads and concrete parking pads. That was nice. There are only 2 showers for the whole park. Office closed a 5 pm and could not even get into the lobby. WiFi is working great. Cost with FMCA discount was $34/nite. There is also a pretty little pond with ducks and geese. We walked the park. It is a wonderful 73 degrees. It is supposed to drop to upper 40's tonight. Will be wonderful sleeping!
After dinner Dusty fell asleep on the couch and Tic caught it.
We will only stay tonight. Headed to Jesup GA tomorrow.
This was our view when we got up today.
Been there done that Darn GPS - Unhook and turn the beast around. I love the way you two get each other napping! Joe and I never nap so no pics of us doing that! Forget last comment on your last blog. Behind emails, and I read your last blog before this one.
