Day: September 26, 2016

Yesterday we left TN and drove through Atlanta. We stopped at a KOA just south of Atlanta just for the night.

Our trip was long but uneventful. We carried along some critters that most likely were on our slideout when we left TN. We must have killed about 18 of these while driving.

They look like a stink bug but don’t stink when squished fortunately! Maybe a soldier bug? Anyway, we must have gotten most of them as we’ve only seen a couple today.

Atlanta was a “nail biter”! We would have had an easier drive through on those 8 lanes if it hadn’t been for an accident which clogged everything up.  Glad we did that route on a sunday!  On the bright side … we saw some frogger friends, Ed & Laura Cook, drive by us in Atlanta and got to honk at them and even chat a bit!!

Saw many of these signs along the way but… haven’t yet figured out how to get that “message 3”!

Today we did the long drive from Atlanta to Kingsland (St Mary’s), GA.  Again an uneventful day except for the many “lovebugs” that splattered our windshield!

Fortunately we had a rain shower and washed alot of them away.

We have landed at Jacksonville North/St Mary’s KOA. Appears to be a nice resort and offers a free breakfast of pancakes or waffles EVERY morning. Think Bill’s HAPPY???

We are on the border of Florida.  We are going to explore the east coast (since we never have) for awhile and visit St Mary’s, Amelia Island, Kingsland, Cumberland Island, Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge, Fernandina Beach, St Augustine, Daytona Beach, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral. ….. and who knows how far south we will go before making the journey to the Gulf side.
