210 miles via US 27, FL-64, US 17, FL-70, FL-31 and FL-80. Cumulative tow miles: 4188, Truck miles: 381. Cumulative truck miles: 5911. The extra truck miles were due to refueling and chores in the Ocala area.
I opted to take some back roads rather than the longer-but-faster (usually) I-75 route. I don’t like I-75 on weekends (today was a Saturday) as it tends to be very crowded. As it turned out, US 27 was pretty crowded too, so I am not sure it was a good route choice. But the hop was completed in about 4.5 hours, without incident (and the refrigerator stayed on).
Thus ends the TS7.
I booked the Wild Frontier RV Resort for a full week but left after 6 days – not because I didn’t like the resort but because I had done what I needed to do in Ocala (primarily family issues that I won’t be documenting here). I actually liked this resort a lot. The sites are spacious, with macadam surfaces and a lot of space between sites. The pool was small, which didn’t matter to me because I didn’t use it. I didn’t use the laundry, either, but it was very nice. The electric service was 50A and the cable TV was superb – over 100 channels.
Well, the cable TV would have been superb if I had been able to obtain a free decoder box, but the office ran out. So that is one complaint: if you are going to use a cable TV system that requires a decoder box, you should have enough boxes to give one to everyone. My other complaint is that the sites, though spacious, have very short and narrow macadam patches. Fitting my truck onto the site was difficult.
But, overall, a very nice, pleasant RV park.
Next: the TS7 wrapup.
