Since our last blog post we settled in Atlanta for the week of Christmas at a place just east of town called Stone Mountain. Simply put a beautiful oasis (pictures coming). We stayed a week and met a great couple when we checked in. Well lets back up a bit here. Upon coming into town we tried to find a Walmart to stay at for the first night, our rule of thumb is to stay at a Walmart the first night to save on camping fees. No sense in paying for a night's camping when it's only for 5 or 6 hours. Make sense..we think so...anyway I take Tom (in the rain) through some pretty hairy turns and traffic filled streets to find this Walmart which has a parking lot the size of a postage stamp. At which time we realize he can't get in and we have to head back to the freeway through the traffic at rush hour in the rain with all 65' of motorhome train behind us. Mind you it's also shopping time for the holidays too.
So I find a campground and now it's dark so we pull in after hours with still more rain behind these nice people who are checking in as well. We opt for a space a couple of loops over from them with a pull through for our 45' of motorhome near the lake according to the map. In hind sight I could not have found a worse spot for us to park. Anyway...we head over there with me in the car in front of Tom I should have told him to just pull on around and go back to the office. But Noooo....He pulls in and up on to this little hill to try to find a crown on this hill, with a turn in the trees, on a curve...can you say stupid. Well after a minute or two and a few camper coming out to look at us like we were stupid we pulled on out and up the hill, the heck out of there and headed back to the office. Found another site and turned out to park on the back side of the people who were checking in when we got there.
We hung out with them a couple of days, had dinner and went on a train ride around the mountain. There was a great golf course there we played 10 holes which was beautiful.
After leaving there we went to Savannah Georgia for a couple of days in Fort McAllister for 2 nights. We found fresh shrimp just caught that day and cooked it up, simply perfect. Then we headed down to Daytona Beach for New Years and partied down there.
Just arrived in Orlando for 12 days to visit Disney World and see what all fuss is about here. Then going to head south from here.
Tom will be downloading some pictures soon.
