In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Fair Play, SC







Wednesday neither of us felt like doing anything, so we didn't. Well, we did return to Greensboro and did the laundry then stopped at Wendy's for lunch. We did get ready to leave a day early; dumped the tanks, picked up the outside stuff & put it away, checked the trucks fluids, vacuumed the truck, etc. We aren't very impressed with this CG and think there's more to explore in SC. Thursday we were pulling out of the CG at 9am and made the 98 mile pull north on the back roads then hopped on I85 for 30 miles to another ROD park, Carolina Landing, in Fair Play, SC. This CG is better, the roads are paved and so are many, including ours, sites. It is still VERY hilly so ya gotta watch the towing around inside the CG. In the morning we can add another state to our map, it's been a year since we have added one and we plan to add all the missing ones this trip, plus some Canadian.

Greensboro, Georgia

























Monday was a do nothing day, other that inside home cleaning. The campground (CG) area around us is filling up, when we arrived we were only the second RV in this part of the CG. Today we went to a noon movie and saw Lincoln Lawyer, it was an OK movie. After that we stopped at Home Depot to get some Capture, a dry carpet cleaner Mark told us about. We stopped downtown at Yesterdays Cafe for lunch, Judy had a chicken salad while I had country fried steak, both were very good. The buttermilk pie is very good. I wonder where we'll eat tomorrow? We walked around downtown and took the picture of the county courthouse, the statue in front is honoring Confederate dead who fought for "the rights of states". Behind the courthouse is an old jail built on 1807 of 2 foot thick granite blocks. It looks like a very stout jail. Above the only door, on the second story floor, is a trap door used for hangings. When given the signal the hangman opened the trap door "and the culprit was launched into eternity."

Saw Mark & Paula + went to church



Saturday we drove up to Johns Creek, a suburb of Atlanta, to see Mark & Paula. We spent a couple hours chatting with them on the deck of their new home before going out to eat. Good thing I took the camera.....bad thing I forgot to get a couple pics! I did get a cell phone picture of Mark to ID incoming calls. When we arrived back at the camp we spent some time examining our escape route for Friday. Our area is on a hill with some sharp turns and an unlevel road. I'm concerned the trucks bed rails could come into contact with the bottom of the HitchHikers front overhang. If empty, we'll zig zag through another site. Sunday morning we went to the campgrounds church service. Interesting. Retired Preacher Bobby sang all five songs himself with his wife controlling the recorded music. He did a great job. He gave us a good sermon in between the songs and praising. It was a very interesting and good service, there were 10 of us there. After church we went to Subway for lunch then Publix for groceries.
