We made it barely!

 

Lazy Days RV Sales and RV Park

Arrived at Lazy Days 010

We were up at the crack and polished off a pot of coffee before we hitched up the wagon. The sun was up and the temps were great here in northern Florida. I could feel the humidity climbing while I was dumping and stowing my gear. We had stopped along I10 at a camp site for the night which worked out perfectly. Our campsite was located next to the interstate but the noise was not too bad. It was an easy off and easy on place to stay and the price was not bad.

Sherri said it looked like an old KOA

Traveling to Florida 026

Just rolled into Florida and found a great over nighter just off the Hwy.

Arrived at Lazy Days 002

We had a lot of these turn offs as we crossed  5 states

We were on the road about 8:00 am and were looking at a 7 hour drive to our final destination. I found a Pilot station just down the road and topped off my tank. I like to keep plenty of fuel in the tank so I don't have to worry about running out. One thing about traveling is you need not run out of diesel nor should you drive at night. One other thing you don't want to do is peel a tread off your tires while driving 65 mph in bumper to bumper traffic....We did...just before we arrived at the RV dealership. This is my trade in and if I destroy this...there goes my down payment. All I can say is, thank you Lord for sparing us any harm on our trip here...please watch over us on our return.

My back tire peeled off like an orange! No damage to the RV??

OK we made it and we are parked waiting for our new house to pull up beside us so we can walk all our belongings from one to the other. This should happen tomorrow and I will get some pictures of the big move.

Bye old buddy                                                       So long sweet lady

In the mean time we got hooked up in our temporary sight and decided to take a walk around the park. It is a beautiful RV dealership with over 1300 RVs on the grounds. They have gardens with pedestrian walkways going all through the park so you can walk and see all the RVs. They have 170 golf carts too that can ferry you anywhere in the park you want to go. The RV park is just across the road and you can stay there for two nights and try out your new house before you haul it off.

Sherri is dwarfed by these trees! 

Arrived at Lazy Days 011

Can you believe this park!!

After our walk we both decided that we were hungry and got in our truck and went to  Cracker Barrel which is located on the grounds of the park. After our meal we drove around the park and discovered the Flying J...Camping World and the sales office all located on the 126 acre park! WOW what a complex this is. There are 100 bays for prep and repair.  They have security gates at all the entrances and security people roaming all over the park in golf carts.We will feel safe here tonight...

We had the tread come off of our Class A on a trip out West back in the late 90's. Bridget thought the toad came off. Good that there was no damage. Have fun with the move tomorrow.

Stay Safe

Sheesh, I miss a few days and you go and redecorate your house. Congratulations. If you have time, stop by Rainbow Plantation in Summerdale, AL just to say hi!! It's a great park, Mark and Dortha have stayed here as well as Jim and Ellie (many others that you know as well). We'll be here for a couple more weeks before heading north.
