Sweet home Alabama is where we are.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
       Another good sleep and nicely adjusting to the time change, that is a good thing, we have another one today!
       Ready to hit the road this morning and no visible sunrise just fog, So I got a nice walkabout for a half hour then we secured our coach and hooked up the car, on the road again !
pretty foggy morning so we waited a bit
     We pulled out at 7:45 this morning planning on making a few miles today.  326 miles was our plan and we did it no problem.
       Some interstates and wonderful smooth back roads with next to no traffic. Gotta love these roads here. 
     These back roads would have been wonderful scenery except for the fog . Passed from Georgia to Alabama then into Florida and back into Alabama.
     We stopped at a Flying J in Dothan Alabama . To fuel our coach and make a nice light lunch just because it was time.
     Then south to I-10 and west to our destination. Most of the day we passed so much devastation from the recent Hurricane that came through these areas. Thousands of trees down everywhere. houses with trees on them and buildings that paid the price. Not many pictures of them, I was driving.
now into the Florida Panhandle 
        Taking our time and did get a few pics of trees that were beside the highway on I-10.
         Then eventually back into Alabama.
"Sweet home Alabama "
    Our destination today another membership park in our system only $10.00 a night (Coast To Coast) full hookups and free wifi. a pretty good deal in our books.
this be the place
     We were assigned a nice corner site right by the restrooms. Supposed to be able to get our satellite dish here. But with all the tress and moving the dish a couple of times  we gave up. We got 35 channels on our antenna so really not a big deal for the amount of TV we watch. Oh did I say it was  83F when  we arrived at 3:30PM , actually 2:30 pm here , another time change for us.
this is wonderful and you know it
when Suzie in shorts in the shade
          All set up enjoying the weather and our happy hour.  A lady walked by with a beautiful dog that Suzie just had to pet.
love the colors on this dog
I tried to set up our dish but the
 trees really got in the way
     Right across from us in the washrooms, showers and laundry. We have been here a few times over the years and it was tired. Now the building looks about the same.
right across from us
       BUT inside I was really impressed  they actually did an amazing upgrade now they are very usable.
they sure did a nice job here
our nice corner site
      After some relaxing reading and chatting for a while we decided on a couple of Turkey Burgers we brought from home , Hayter's Onion and parsley burgers that we really enjoy . We eat these sparingly over the winter.
not long on our Weber q
the english muffins warm in foil
now that was all we needed for supper tonight,
these are very filling
     We plan on hanging out here for 3 nights and a few things we would like to revisit , it has been quite a few years since we have been in this area and really enjoy it.
     The weather forecast does not look great so we will play that by ear. Lots to see around here if we wish to do that.
our travels today . 326 miles
 on very good roads
     That was a very nice travel day, got to where we wanted and arrived at a good time.
     And we did enjoy reading outside reading and blogging until about 7:30 tonight, still 72F. But a long enough day for us, inside to kick back a relax, tomorrow is another day.
    Thanks for coming along and hope y'all had a great day as well.

  1. I'm a bit embarrassed ... Always thought Sweet Home Alabama was a city, like Sweet Home, AL. same as Sweet Home, OR. Who knew? Another nice park in your membership. The best crab cakes EVER! are in that area, but don't recall where :)

  5. You're moving right along. If you stay on I-10 as you go west, I'd sure appreciate some comments on the road surface condition.
