Richmond Hill, GA


We are staying at Fort McAllister State Park in Richmond Hill, Georgia, which is located about 20 miles south of Savannah GA. They have no wi-fi and pretty poor cell phone coverage. Explains the lack of posts recently. I'm currently at a coffee shop using accessing the Internet for e-mail, blog, news, finance. Feels so good to get to the Internet after several days absence.


We left Key West early on Monday with the plan to drive as far North as (reasonably) possible. Ended up just below St Augustine, FL. Stayed at a small park in the woods that, once the sun went down, was incredibly quiet.


Slept with the windows open and listened to the quiet night and enjoyed a delightful breeze. Arrived around 6pm, set-up camp and took our evening walk only to find them serving a corned beef & cabbage meal in the ecreation hall. Quickly took Dobbie back to the RV and went back up the the rec hall only to find out they had run out of corned beef. Wow, I had really been anticipating that meal. No biggie since MLA had a crock-pot full of meatballs cooking all day so we simply went back to the RV and ate what we originally planned.


I was excited to set up camp in a pull-thru site which means we can keep the toad attached. So excited I forgot to turn off the Toad's ignition and the next moring as we prepared to leave found the toad battery dead. Campground maintenance guy provided a quick jump start and we were back on the road.


Drove thru Jacksonville, FL across one increadibly beautiful bridge, called the Dame Point Bridge, which opened in 1989. Never seen it peviously or I would have remembered.
Left Florida and arrived at this State Park on Tuesday. Great place in the woods, reasonably priced plus MLA signed us up for a Georgia Park System Family Plan and we received two nights free, plus 15% off of all other nights, free train ride for one a plus free admission to Georgia Historical Sites throughout the state. Such a good deal they may owe us money before we are all done! Well, maybe not, but a good deal none the less. You know MLA: she is the ultimate bargain hunter.
We will stay here through Sunday night and then go to Mistletoe State Park (Gotta get those free nights) just above Augusta GA, located on the J Strom Thurmond Lake. SUppossed to be one of Georgia's best state parks. We'll see.
So if you cjeck the blog and there are a few days between posts, don't worry. We'll post more once we get ack in the (wi-fi) zone.
We'll be staying in a campground with wi-fi in Charleston, SC starting on Monday 3/31 so at a minimum we'll have regular posts after that.
See Ya!

Thank Goodness, missed you guys!

Sorry you missed the corned beef on St. Patricks Day. I will send MLA a crockpot recipe for corn beef and cabbage.

Happy Easter.

Love,

Richard, Debbie and Chance
