Into Georgia another membership park and meeting up with more good friends


Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      The Flying J last night was actually very quiet after 10 pm. We will not park at the back with the trucks so the front by the pumps quiets down quite nicely. They do get busy early morning , but we are up anyway.
      Got our breaky, computing and coffees consumed , and a nice walkabout around here by the trucks and watching all the busy people here heading off to wherever. Chatted with a few people here and finally hit the road by 8:30 later than planned but no real rush.
      Headed out onto I-20 westbound  for about 150 miles then some back roads towards Macon Georgia. Through Augusta Georgia, not a slow down at all. We made pretty good time and very little traffic all day.
I-20 was a nice drive and good roads
    Stopped and couple of rest areas along the way, just to get out for some exercise. and the Georgia Welcome centre for some info n Georgia, we will be here for a few days.
We be looking for some Georgia Peaches
     Just before  we left I-20 there a=was a Flying J (no rest area) so we pulled in there for a stretch at noon and made a tasty light lunch, just because we can, no need to buy it when we have food right here.
     Off the interstate for an hour or so and enjoyed some nice 2 lane back roads passing through a few small towns.
nice quiet back roads 
loved this town square
     Then south from Macon Georgia on I-75 to Unadilla where we will hang out for  few days. Nice small town in the south.
lots of cotton fields in this area
      We pulled in  to Southern Trails Resort, a nice handy place right off the interstate and another membership park we can enjoy with FHU's and no overnight fees. We do love our free camping.
We have been here quite a few times over the years
and enjoy the area
think it was 4 years ago the last time
    Got checked in by 1:30 pm and nice that we can pick our own campsite, a very nice corner one with afternoon sun. Bonus today it was 82F this is the weather we came south for.
a nice large corner site facing south
        Did not take Suzie long to get her shorts on and enjoy sitting in the shade and read her I-pad. I made a quick trip around the corner to the Piggly Wiggly (grocery store) and picked up a couple of split chicken breasts for supper.
now this is wonderful 
we got to read for a while in the shade
enjoying this view
      And to our surprise we had friends for Happy Hour, Paul and Judy from Rock Glen Resort in Ontario, The home membership park we both love.
Judy and Paul so nice to run into them again
     We chatted for quite a while discussed each others winter plans. They heading out in the morning for Florida, and we heading to the gulf coast and eventually Arizona.
time for them to head back home and we can whip up supper.
     Tonight a couple of bone in chicken breasts on the grill mat to go with our tasty salad.
we do love our chicken
nicely glazed and tasty
     As I was finishing up cooking we managed to get a very nice Georgia sunset. 
A vey nice way to wind up a wonderful 
hot sunny travel day
242 miles today
        Now we are enjoying some real great warm sunny weather the whole reason we live this lifestyle.
      Glad that you could drop in for a peek and hope you had a nice sunny day as well.

  1. I know you pay attention to the weather, keep an eye on the front heading your way! I'm sure it's a nice surprise to catch up with friends as you travel around. Looks like a beautiful day in Georgia, but for peaches I'd recommend the west slope of Colorado.

  2. Since you have extraordinary barbecue skills, I thought you might appreciate the following bit of information in this small town of Unadilla with a population of approximately 4,000. Four-time world champion barbecuer and food writer, Myron Mixon, lives in Unadilla. He has Jack's Old South Cooking School at his house there; next two-day classes this November. Most Georgia families in that area knew and tasted his barbecue way before he became famous.

  3. P.S. You are already passed peach season in Unadilla, but by now the home-made peach preserves, spiced peaches, and pickles should have been canned and may have some jars of them for sale; you may even luck out, and someone might give you a couple of jars.
