TTN Hop 3: Richmond Hill GA to Myrtle Beach SC

211 miles via US 17, I-95, and US 17 again. Cumulative tow miles: 649. Cumulative truck miles: 819. For the third straight hop Google and the GPS disagreed. In this case it was a pretty minor disagreement: whether to take I-526 around Charleston (Google) or follow US 17 all the way through (GPS). US 17 … Continue reading »

Savannah South KOA

Our home for the past four days has been the Savannah South KOA in Richmond Hill GA. Our primary concern in getting a place near Savannah is to be near Savannah, so we really didn’t look closely at the amenities of this park before we booked it. But it was a surprise. We love this … Continue reading »

Headstone hunting, Savannah edition

If you like walking through cemeteries looking at headstones, consider joining FindAGrave.com. Its main purpose is to locate the final resting places of the dearly departed. But if you would like a photo of Uncle Ben’s headstone and are nowhere near his grave, you can post a photo request on FindAGrave and maybe, just maybe, … Continue reading »

TTN Hop 2: Ocala FL to Richmond Hill GA

221 miles via I-75, US 301, I-10, I-295 (around Jacksonville), I-95, US 84 and US 17. Cumulative tow miles: 438 We have traveled most of this route before. Taking US 301 from Ocala to Jacksonville cuts off many miles from the I-75/I-10 route. It is a bit slower, perhaps, but not bad. And more interesting, … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 8: Douglas GA to Carrabelle FL

196 miles via GA 32, US 221, US 41, GA 31, FL 145, FL 14, I-10, US 19, FL 59, US 98 and US 319. Cumulative tow miles: 1,849. Does that route sound complicated? It was. This was arguably the most complex route we have had on any hop in any of our trips. The … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 7: Charleston SC to Douglas GA

216 miles via US 17, I-85, GA 196, US 84, GA 203 and GA 32. Cumulative tow miles: 1,653. This was a 4-hour trip with a midpoint lunch stop – no fuel, just lunch – mostly on roads that we had not taken before, except for I-95. I was expecting the roads to be narrow, … Continue reading »

STN Hop 2: Citra FL to Savannah GA

224 miles on US 301, I-10, I-295 (around Jacksonville) and I-95. Cumulative miles: 475. The weather was less than ideal – intermittent showers the entire 4-hour trip – and much of the trip was on I-95, which we have traveled several times already. So the interesting part of the trip was the 67 miles on … Continue reading »

Madison and Greensboro SC

We stayed for 3 nights in Madison SC primarily so that we would be able to visit with our good friends Steve and Elaine who came off the road last year to live in a Del Webb community at Lake Oconee SC. The highlights of our stay were (1) playing cards (we LOVE to play … Continue reading »

STS Hop 11: Cecil GA to Bushnell FL

198 miles, almost all on I-75. It doesn’t get much simpler than this: get on I-75 at the exit from Cecil Bay RV Park and just keep going until exit 309 in Florida, then travel 1.5 miles on county 673 to our destination. It was a flat, pleasant trip in 90-degree sunshine. I-75 has traffic, … Continue reading »

STS Hop 10: Madison GA to Cecil GA

190 miles, mostly via US 129 and I-75. There was no epic GPS/Google battle on this one; it was a pretty simple trip down US 129 to Macon where we hooked up with I-75. The geography was mostly gently rolling hills and the weather, though overcast most of the way, didn’t produce much rain. Just … Continue reading »
