Stone Mtn 2019

We've made our semi-annual trip to Georgia to visit Doug & Louise.  They seem to be doing fine.  Doug still able to get around.  Louise has developed a limp.  Donna and I admire how they just keep going forward.

As is always true for our spring time visits, the trees in the park are just beginning to bloom and the pollen is in abundance. 

We've found the yurts to be quite busy on the weekends as was the whole campground.  We managed to get one of our favorite sites - site 20 on the C loop.  It's looong and is one of the few sites that we can fully park the truck in front of the trailer without parking parallel to the road.  It's also "satellite friendly" for us, too. 

Hopefully, you'll enjoy the pictures attached.  I've put a lot of pictures of Stone Mountain State Park here on the blog and on Facebook over the years.  Decided not to post any on Facebook as it's seems it's just a repeat.  Put a few here so they wouldn't be stuck on a backup drive somewhere.  Maybe you won't see them as boring duplicates!

Tonight is our last night here for this season.  Tomorrow we head to High Point, NC.  I decided to make it a one day trip to High Point to allow us an extra day visiting Doug & Louise and give us some wiggle room as we had the truck serviced.  Never know when the dealer needs to keep the truck an extra day!  Unfortunately, staying an extra day makes for a long one-day drive, too.

We plan to spend the weekend in High Point and move to near Fredericksburg, VA on Monday.  As always, plans may need to change, but hopefully not too much.  If you're in the Fredericksburg and reading this, I'm sorry.  We bring pollen - lots of pollen!  Unfortunately, I think we bring pollen with us for the next two months wherever we go.

So that's it for this post.   I think this catches everyone up to date on where we're at, what we're doing, where we're going.  Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us.  Until next time, David

Pelham, AL

We're fine.  We left Eustis last Friday and have stopped for a few days near Birmingham to visit my Dad and Stepmother.  Plans are to move tomorrow to Stone Mountain to visit one of Donna's brothers.

We've had a good visit Dad and Anna. They're doing OK.  The rain paused for a few days and pollen now seems to be abundant.  We need to get use to it, though.  Our travel plans have us in rain and pollen until late June.  As we're headed west, we're paying particular attention to the Mississippi, Missouri, and Platte Rivers.  Which route we take west will depend not only on how much time we have to travel out to Jackson, WY, but also on how the floods have affected the RV parks along the way.  And how much time we have to travel to Jackson depends on how much time the RV techs can devote to us. You have to remember that a lot of folks are in Indiana trying to get their RV repaired at the same time we are.

After Stone Mountain, future stops are High Point, NC (a weekend); Fredericksburg, VA (2 weeks); Luray, VA (a week); and then on into Lagrange, IN. That's the plan, anyway.

That's it for this week.  Thanks for dropping in and checking up on us!  David

Last Day @ Eustis, FL

It's our last day here visiting Donna's brother and sister-in-law.  We've gotten out to visit friends in the area, too.  And, as you can see, Donna got a second day of kayaking in, too.  Tomorrow we head north.  If it's anything like last year, we're gonna sample the rain (snow??), mud and pollen of various parts of the country until about June. 

From here it should take us about three days to B'ham.  Plans are to move on to Stone Mountain, GA late next week and High Point, NC the following week.  As always, that's the plan.

Thanks for taking the time to check in on us.  Until next week, David 

Eustis, FL 2019

Donna @ Blue Spring State Park

Disney Springs

Our first week of traveling for 2019 is in the books.  After a weekend stopover at Tallahassee, FL & evacuating the trailer during a tornado warning, we've traveled further south to Eustis, FL for about 10 days to visit family in the area.  This is our fourth year to stay in this area and our third different campground to stay in.  As you can tell from the pics, we've gotten out of the rain for a bit.  It's warmer here, but our first morning was a balmy 38.  High today was 78, so I think we're back in the warmer mode.  Donna's gotten out with one of her brothers to do some kayaking.  We've also made our annual visit to Disney Springs where we've eaten at Earl of Sandwich, and blew our diet by eating a 1,200 cal desert at the Ghirardelli store. Several of the stores have changed layouts and stock since last year, so shopping was somewhat hit-or-miss this year.

We're still here for another week.  We plan to visit friends tomorrow (Saturday) and Monday if all goes well.  Donna's already saying it's too hot and that's just her looking at the weather app on her phone!

 Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures on this post.  Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us.  Until next week, David
