Flying J to a very nice membership Campground

Where are we today?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
           Well heck we had a great sleep at this Flying J like we usually do. Up and at it  by 5 am as usual, getting things taken care of. Oatmeal, coffees and computing is the routine, Then a nice walkabout this Flying J checking out all the trucks that I love to see. But that is just me, and always like to check out the store inside.
      Not in a hurry again today only 123 miles to go and checking into a campground for 3 nights. It rained all night even this morning for a while. But not a heavy rain, so a goods travel day for us.
heading south on I-95
just drizzle and not much traffic
      We made good time through Richmond no slow downs at all and just carried on moving on down the road.
now we in the south, cotton fields everywhere 
         Off the interstate and enjoying some nice back roads to the campground.
love these  quiet country roads 
      Soon we arrived  at another membership campground  that we have not been to before . We do make use of this membership , no overnight fees so like free camping for us.  This campground is huge and more of a destination almost everything you need is here. Clubhouse , restaurants, bar, bowling alleys, pools you name it they have have it all.
     But this is their Halloween  weekend and the place is packed . We were not prepared for all the kids trick or treating but they all had a great time and so did we.
this be the place
clubhouse busy so we will stay away
nice tennis courts
yes a bowling alley
this be our site in the woods
    A very nice site full hookups, (30 amp) but in the bush no satellite reception, and no antenna either but we do have a lot of dvds that we can watch . Not a problem for us.
no way can our dish get through those trees
     But the weather was pretty good, rain had stopped and temps in the mid 6o'sF quite comfortable for enjoying our reading outside.
the view from our Patio
     A bit later the wagon rides began taking the kids all around this huge campground , the parents can follow in their golf carts, some were decorated.
this one was decorated bit the picture blurry, sorry
      Enjoying  being outside but the damp cool air was bothering my arthritis, so I put on my new gloves I bought yesterday at the flying J. Wow in no time the pain in my hands was almost gone. These sure are a good investment.
they sure took the pain away
my hands much warmer
       Now  we can enjoy much more reading time outside and our happy hour.
Much better weather here
this be our site in the bush
     Now this is a HUGE campground we only looked at it bit today will check out more in the next couple of days.
the green line is our campsite lots more to see
     Soon time to whip up supper and tonight a couple of bone in chicken breasts on our Weber Q using the grill mat. Not long and they were done to perfection.
love these chicken breasts on the Q
added to our salad did the trick
this was our route toady only 123 miles
      Not we can hang out here for a few days , enjoying our FREE camping with full hook ups then head on down the road again.
    Thanks for joining us today .

  1. I can hardly wait to get west and out of the trees. I just don't like them. Give me the desert. Be careful getting through Atlanta.

    1. Our thoughts exactly, Love the wide open spaces of the desert and dry air.

  2. Nice gloves, leaves the finger tips open for a good tactile feel, does that come in handy with the eReader? Such a large nice park, and FREE!, I'm surprised you have not taken this route before.

    1. I am loving the gloves, they keep the cold and dampness off my aching knuckles and thumbs. Work great with my Kobo as well. We usually headed south through Nashville or I-75 in a hurry to get there, We still have some membership parks we have not been to yet, there is so many.

  4. Sounds like you are two are on a nice leisurely drive as you start your winter travels. The best kind of traveling.
    The rain has been crazy this fall up our way. It is hard to remember a day without it. Continued safe travels.

    1. It is pretty nice we like the price especially. For the little we watch tv not a big deal. I only watch tv when on my computer, when I sit in my recliner I fall asleep in front of it.
