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 |
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.
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.
Suzie ordered the Bourbon Chicken Sizzlin' Skillet that she enjoys.
And I ordered the Crazy Spicy Sizzlin' Skillet with extra hot sauce on the side and for 99 cents 4 tortillas.

Where have we been this Winter?
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!
ReplyDeleteContinued safe travels.
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.
DeleteLove those gas prices, and the weather. Happy Travels!
ReplyDeleteYes Bob we are too thats why we here when we are able.
DeleteYou guys are making good progress! Is it warm enough for you yet?
ReplyDeleteWe are moving right along enjoy some new scenery and yes stew this temperature is just about right.
DeleteDarn! I rode right past the Flying J you were at today on my motorcycle. Had I known you were there, I'd have stopped in to say hello. :c(
ReplyDeleteWish you had stopped would be nice to finally meet you we were so close. Don't know where you are.
DeleteThose meals look pretty darn good, George, after a nice day of driving. Nice to see you getting warmed up.
ReplyDeleteThe meals were very good, and reasonable as well. The sunshine and warm weather was worth the drive.
DeleteGlad you are finally feeling warm after the cold Ontario Temperatures.
ReplyDeleteNice fuel prices.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Yes we enjoyingbthe heat and fuel prices, all is wonderful here.
DeleteSo 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!
ReplyDeleteFort Bragg California is a city (tourist destination) In North Carolina it is a Military installation. Loving the fuel prices here , no complaint.
DeleteWe envy you the blue skies and warm weather, and the cheaper gas. We are still waiting on our fridge repair..3 weeks has turned into 5 weeks+.
ReplyDeleteOh my, should not take 5 weeks.hope you can get out of there real soon, gonna get cold there.
DeleteYep you saved a lot of money today. Don't blame Suzie for the dinner and boy it sure looked good.
ReplyDeleteWe do like to safe some money, then we can enjoy treats. Was Suzie's request tonight so we had to stop here.
DeleteI always keep forgetting about Flying J's and the discount with Good Sam. Suzie did an excellent job on the supper.
ReplyDeleteThe Flying J's are the easiest with the rv islands and fuel discount works for us
DeleteWow... 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.
ReplyDeleteThose 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!
We did had a pretty good travel day , after relaxing for a few days we are ready to move on to the next campground will get there today.
DeleteNice fuel prices. Fill up before you come west! lol
ReplyDeleteWill will keep doing that as long as we can.
DeleteNice to see you enjoying your trip. Suzie's cooking looking pretty good! 😜
ReplyDeleteSafe traveling.
We are enjoying Suzie sure does a nice job. you guys travel safe as well.
DeleteWow..great fuel prices! $3.35 here in Yerington and up from there! Beautiful trip! Dinner looked awesome and filling! Nice to do once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteLoving the fuel prices and enjoying the trip. Dinner was wonderful.
DeleteWe rarely eat at Denny's and I don't know why as we always enjoy it - your meals look very good.
ReplyDeleteWe seldom eat here as well, but with getting ba good fuel price and free parking for the night, it was a treat and very tasty.
DeleteI've had Bourbon Chicken at Dennys and was surprised at how good it was.
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
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.
DeleteWow! Great gas prices and two enormous, stick to yer ribs, dinners! That's the life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful South Carolina. We've been there but years ago and would like to do that route one year. Supper looks great, Suzie! I might want the recipe! haha
ReplyDeleteLove the weather too! Keep on the safe side in your travels.
It is a wonderful your that we are enjoying like you many years ago. Susie is a wonderful cook when I let here lol...
DeleteYou guys travel safe as well.
