APRIL 23 - MON. & APRIL 24 - TUES., 2012

MON. - Well we have started our journey home. It was a good day to leave FL. because we woke to a chilly windy morning, (not a beach day). It was very windy on the road. We made it to our first stop after 230 miles of driving, Lake Seminole St. Park in Bainbridge, GA. It is right on the GA/FL state line, in fact the ranger said that the front of the ranger station is in FL and the back of it is in GA! We were given a sheet warning about Argentine ants that live in the area. They told us to put boric acid or comet (both of which we had with us) around our tires and to be sure our water & electric lines are not touching the ground. They are not dangerous to humans, but they can get into vehicles by the droves and are very hard to get rid of. They told us that we probably would not have a problem due to the wind (thank goodness we didn't) Our campsite was right by the lake, but the wind was so strong that the waves were crashing onto the rocks on the shore. It is a very well maintained park and there are several other campers here. We have no internet service (that's why I am posting this a day late), but surprisingly we got 4 channels on TV.

TUES. - We got an early start on the road to Alabama, where our next camsite is. We drove 240 miles. We are spending the night in Brierfield, AL at Brierfield IronWorkers St. Park. We got here around 4:00 because we went through a time change & gained an hour. When we got to the registration office, there were two roads, Richard was going to take one but I told him to take the other one -- I was wrong! The ranger said we should have taken the other road because there is no place to turn the RV around and we can't back it up with the tow dolly attached with the car. So Richard had to unhook the car to turn the RV around -- as my grandsons would say "my bad". Anyway it was early enough, after we go the RV set up, we went for a bike ride around the park. We are able to pick up the internet. We are staying at State Parks on our way home, so we won't always have WiFi. I will post when I can. (we are still having a problem posting pictures)Just realized that if you click on the picture, it goes to its original size.
