RV parks that we have stayed in

STS Hop 12: Bushnell FL to North Fort Myers FL

167 miles, almost entirely on I-75. This would have been a simple, uneventful trip in sunny weather had it not been for the idiot young woman who cut us off north of Tampa and who damn near caused a catastrophic accident. I guess she was missing her exit, so, at 70 mph, she swerved in … 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 »

The Campground at James Island County Park

We LOVE Charleston. We have already resolved to return for a longer stay. We need to invest at least another week to explore it to our satisfaction.  I will follow this post with several more about the city.  This one is focused on our home for the past 5 days: The Campground at James Island … Continue reading »

STS Hop 8: Myrtle Beach SC to Charleston SC

94 miles via mostly US 17. The only thing difficult about this trip was ignoring the GPS when it told us to make a U-turn. I don’t know what is going on with our (relatively) new Rand-McNally GPS, but on the last two hops it has insisted that we make a U-turn when none was … Continue reading »

Ocean Lakes Family Campground, Myrtle Beach SC

We planned originally to stay 3 nights at Ocean Lakes Family Campground in South Myrtle Beach SC. But we lost a day due to our truck problems. Then the forecast turned bad – the day we were scheduled to travel to Charleston was to be windy, with heavy rain. It is never fun to tear … Continue reading »

STS Hop 5: Lorton VA to Petersburg VA

128 miles, mostly via I-95. This was not the hop that was planned. We had to abort about 100 miles short of our intended destination (Wilson NC) when the “check engine” light came on just north of Petersburg VA. Accompanying the light was an alarming loss of power: I had difficulty maintaining 45 mph going … Continue reading »

Gunshots, acorns and drag racers

Answer: gunshots, acorns and drag racers. Question: what noises have kept us awake in the last 3 campsites? Explanation: I told you about the shooting range near us at Pinch Pond. That was followed by 7 nights of staccato acorn explosions (at least they sounded like explosions) on the roof of the RV at Pohick. … Continue reading »

Boo to you, too

The Pohick Bay Regional Park Campground is really into Halloween. Besides having a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt this past weekend, they also sponsored a campsite decorating content. Which our neighbors won, hands down. They put a lot of effort into building a little Zombie town on their site, populated by 4 animated zombies, a very scary … Continue reading »

Manheim PA and Pinch Pond Family Campground

We stayed at the Pinch Pond Family Campground in Manheim PA for 5 nights. The original plan was to use the campground as a base for exploring the area – Hershey, Harrisburg, Lebanon, Lancaster and the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. However, the time was mostly spent recuperating from our nasty colds. Only on the last day … Continue reading »
