Hi All: We are at Jolly Acres Campground in St. George, South Carolina today. Got here about 1530. Got out of Lake City about 0900 and filled up with gas at the campground for $2.76. Easiest gas stop we've had in a long time. Pump was right in line with leaving the campground.

Got to I-10 and headed toward I-95 and was wondering why my MPG was a little lower than when we left Floral City. Finally noticed we were running in to a 15 or so MPH headwind today. Wind from the North. Not normal for this time of year. So I lost a good 1 MPG today. Yuck. Gas was cheaper in GA when we got there, but didn't need any there, Then when we got to South Carolina it is $2.56 here. Hope I can find a station tomorrow when we leave for that price. Have to find a station I can use though. I need 40 acres to turn this rig around, and CANNOT back up more than a couple feet due to the tow dolly with the car on it. So we have to use "The Next Exit" to find stations along the interstates that we can use. Usually have to use a Pilot, or a T/A station. I can swing to the last row of pumps on the right and swing out away from them and come in to the last pump at an angle so I can make the turn to leave the place. Usually works pretty well, but does block the next to last lane a little. They get enough of our $$$ to let me do that though. hee hee.
As your can see by the photo's, we have come thru Georgia and South Carolina.. Jan, we are in your State now.. We have to make a trip here in your state soon to visit you guys...

We will leave here in the AM for Fredericksburg, VA at a KOA for one more night, then off to Delaware to visit Amy's Brother Tom and his wife Judy in Ellendale, DA. Will be there for 5 nights, then off to New Castle, PA for a 2 week visit to visit with relatives and friends from there.
Last night Amy and I had decided to walk to the Cracker Barrel for dinner, but when we were about to leave a storm came thru, so we cooked a couple hamburgers in. Probably better that what we would have gotten at Cracker Barrel. So tonight we are cooking in again. Having Meat Ball sandwiches. Sounds good to me again.....
Well, better get going with things here.
Later.
Semper Fi
Don, Amy & Pharaoh.
