Heading further south to warmer temperatures and hot sunshine.

Where are we today ?

         Another great night for sleeping in the forest, so dark and so quiet. Up nice and early, watched the news, computing and coffees, then just before 7 am I got a nice final walkabout this campground about a mile or so.
       Then we packed up our satellite dish, secured the coach and on the road by 8am. A little further today than we have been doing, 305 miles (490 kms) is the plan . All easy driving 1-95 south to I-20 west. Enjoyed stopping at 4 rest areas just to stretch and one at noon to enjoy a nice light lunch.
taking the back roads to I-95
I-95 south a wonderful quiet drive
another place we read about in our books
Fort Bragg
spotted this nicely painted water tower
kinda cool
further down the road a tourist attraction
South of the Border, love their tower too
          We passed a few places along the way, we have been to a few times before on the East Coast, in particular Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach and surrounding areas. no need to stop this time. We are on a mission, a slow one but a mission. Just boogied on down the road, tapping our feet, and trying to dance while driving (hmm) to the tunes on our Sirius satellite radio.
         Arrived at our destination shortly after 2 pm fuelled up the coach. Nice that we can do 500 miles on a tank of gas. And the gas price $2.27 a gallon with our 5 cent discount with the Good Sam card. Now this was the best deal have gotten so far this winter, no complaints here at all, Saved lotsa  money. That is .78 cents a litre Canadian Compared to about  $1.00 a litre or more back in Ontario, We put in 200 litres that just saved us $44.00 in CDN funds on this fillip alone. With all the free camping and parking spots so far and the fuel savings think Suzie is cooking supper tonight and Denny's is right here. Once we fuelled up and parked right away into shorts and t-shirts feels awesome at 75F.
     These Flying J's are always busy, but we like the option of secure parking here and the easy fuel lanes and discounts for fuel as well. The option of many food choices right here is always good too, and tonight we will make use of that option. Something on the menu I like and Suzie as well. What the heck she is doing supper.
 we settled in for the night , a few walkabouts and reading
do have 22 high def channels on tv if we want
love the fuel price for regular gas!
       About 5 pm we headed into Denny's for supper not too busy yet and good service.
         Started  with a  caesar salad to share , it was huge that could have almost been our meal.
very tasty Caesar salad
large bowl .
        Suzie ordered the Bourbon Chicken Sizzlin' Skillet that she enjoys.
very tasty
        And I ordered  the Crazy Spicy Sizzlin' Skillet with extra hot sauce on the side and for 99 cents 4 tortillas.
these were very tasty filling meals
and of course we each brought 1/2 of it home
maybe a lunch or snack at sometime
       Just a nice travelling day getting where we wanted to go. Relaxing, enjoying the warm air and sunshine and a very tasty meal out with my sweetie.    
todays journey 305 miles
    Glad that you dropped on by to see where we are and hope y'all had a great sunny warm day as well, wherever you are .
     Back on the road in the morning a shorter drive to Georgia.

  1. LOL! - gotta head east, I paid $4.19 (USD) a gallon for unleaded today! Yes that's a bit high for SoCal, but Fran's Jeep needed gas and I was driving and it was the only station I could make with what she left in the tank! $4.09 is the norm here. ARG!

    Continued safe travels.

    1. Yup Jeff gotta head east, we coming west so will have to pay the price. We know SoCal has expensive fuel so we try to avoid buying it there. Pretty close to Canada's fuel prices.

  7. So I'm confused, we drove past Fort Bragg on the west coast, are there two? The fuel prices on the east coast are much better than on the west coast!

  11. Wow... you covered alot of ground this day. I don't really care for long driving days... but sometimes they are necessary and I'm usually glad we pushed on when we do them.
    Those meals look wonderful. I can't remember the last time we ate at a Denny's. Sounds like we need to give them a try.
    Safe travels to Georgia!

  16. I've had Bourbon Chicken at Dennys and was surprised at how good it was.
    We use FlyingJ and Pilot for 99% of our fueling in our diesel pusher. And with our RVPlus card too of course. Easy in and out by the truck lanes.
    We have thought about over-nighting at FlyingJs too but have been put off by the loud trucks all night. I know some have designated RV parking areas for overnight but I can never figure out which ones have RV spots. Is this option listed somewhere George?
    We are taking off NOV 1st and am jealous that you are in a sunny and warm place now.

    1. If you go on the flying j / Pilot website it does have the route planner and you can set the ones that have preferences like rv parking rv full lanes, dump stations etc. And that is how we plan our trips has worked great for us for many years. We will no park at the back with the trucks. like you said too noisy.

  17. Wow! Great gas prices and two enormous, stick to yer ribs, dinners! That's the life.
