Left St. Augustine before 7:00AM and arrived home at 9:30. (1525 miles) Dropped some gear, checked the house (everything OK), fueled up and left for Georgia at 11:00AM. Arrived at campground in Cordele, GA at 5:30. Cordele is known as the watermelon capitol of the world. We used to live near here in 1981 when I worked at the Americus, GA plant. It is still hot and muggy here and those damn no see-um flies are everywhere.

So far we have driven 1850 miles and for the first time we are relaxing. The AC in the camper works great. we are getting used to the tight quarters. Tomorrow we stop to see friends in Tennessee and camp in Sweetwater, TN. About 6 hours of driving.Then it is on to Nashville, TN.   (Average Fuel mileage so far 16mpg)
