2014 Florida Trip - Finally RVing Again

After six months of sitting in the driveway, our coach said if we didn’t make a trip, it was going to go without us, which was too hard to turn down.  And since we now have a person who can house and Madison sit, we had nothing holding us back.  Here is a classic senior moment – plan a trip that includes spending the weekend after Christmas on I-75 and totally forgetting about the traffic.  Talk about dumb.

The first day trip was really nice while we were on US-411 between home and Cartersville, GA but once we got on the interstate, we were soon in a 25 mph slowdown for a few miles north of Atlanta.  This was nothing beside the 12 miles of stop and go south of Atlanta – 70 minutes for this leg.  So the trip to our first stop at Twin Oaks RV Park just south of Perry, GA took us about an extra hour, but we arrived safe and sound so all was well.



This was a really nice park for a stopover.

While Sunday’s traffic was still heavier than normal, we had no issues heading to the next stop at Cedar Key RV Resort – can you believe the folks beside us at Twin Oaks were heading for the same place.  When we arrived at the Cedar Key and parked the coach, the first thing I noticed was that the coach behind us had a West Virginia decal on it and it turns out, that while he is from Ohio, he is a WVU fan so we had plenty to talk about.

Here are some shots of the resort starting with our spot, site 31.




They have sites both for rent and for sale, as is pretty common in many of the newer RV parks, and this is two that are owned.



LET ME END BY WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST IN THE NEW YEAR AND THANKING YOU FOR STOPPING BY TO READ MY RAMBLINGS IN 2014.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  4. Happy New Year to my favorite RV'ers. Enjoy that tropical weather and palm trees. We woke up to 19 degrees below zero this morning. I'd send hugs but my arms are frozen.

  5. We have definitely learned to remember the traffic during peak holiday travel dates . . . but you cane never gauge it perfectly. We took backroads this year to I-95 and shaved lots of time off our trips. Have fun during your travels and I'll read about your adventures! Happy 2015 to Bev and you!

  6. Larry, Looks nice and warm down there! (relatively!) We're not going to make it to Midnight thanks to our family infecting us with the 'plague'. Laurie's already in bed and as soon as I finish this short note, I'll be there too! Both of us have fevers now... Fun way to start 2015! Have fun and Take Care,
    Wishing ya'll a very Happy and Healthy new year! Dave and Laurie

  7. I was reminded why one doesn't travel over holidays when I scheduled an appointment in Los Angeles last Saturday....how could I have forgotten how a two hour trip can become a five hour trip.... Enjoy your trip and a Happy New Year to both of you!
