Well, after taking US23 south again the joy of that road has worn off. Yes, it's pretty through the mountains and the road is in pretty good shape but 55 and 60 mph tops, up and down, turning left, turning right I think we'll try a different route next time. It was 280 miles to Flowery Branch and we arrived at 1:30 after an early 8am start time.
We like Old Federal COE (Corps of Engineers) park for several reasons......it's 10 minutes from Jody, Renato, Brianna & Dustin;
it's on Lake Lanier and picturesque, and we get 50% off for being seniors. Two weeks for $180, the only drawback in there's no sewer.
We went to the Brasil's late in the afternoon to start the visit then went out for dinner. We (me) was tired so back home. Friday we got together in the afternoon and then off for pizza, it is Friday night you know.
We'll be here for 2 weeks with the four kids.
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.

Big Stone Gap, VA
We made the 303 mile trek further south on US23 which is a good 4 lane divided road through the Appalachian Mountains. This is the same route we took last fall and liked it. After two days of travel Patches said she wanted to rest.
We spent three nights a Jessie Lea campground to rest, do laundry and not much more.

Southbound....South Charleston, OH
Our time in Michigan with Randy & Devyn has ended, time to wander south. Our first stop is to spend a couple hours with Dave & Donna driver. They are in South Charleston, OH which is about 200 miles away so it's a good time to see them.
