Allentown, GA to Demopolis, AL

Allentown, GA to Demopolis, AL

December 28, 2018

Today was a travel day so not much going on except the view through the windshield.  East of Columbus, GA we didn't like what we saw with the dark clouds.

After we got in it we really didn't like it!

It was coming down pretty hard so we just went slow.

We crossed into Alabama.  Sorry about the picture quality but it's hard to take pictures when the truck is so bumpy.

After we drove in Alabama for a while the rain stopped and we saw blue sky.

After 299 miles we arrived in Demopolis, Alabama and are staying at Foscue Creek Park (CoE park) for the next two nights.  We've been here before and enjoy watching the barges go up and down the river.

  We were originally going to stay one night but they have a two night minimum on weekends (already I had to stop and think what day of the week it is).  One night, two nights, doesn't matter.  We're retired and we can do that now!

Roving on....

The First Day of Our Adventure

Day One

December 27, 2018

It's hard to believe that the day we've been looking forward to for so many years is here! We're on our way to Quartzsite, AZ, then Lake Havasu, will work our way north as it gets too hot and eventually cross into Canada around May 1 and Alaska June 1.  So far it seems like we're on vacation, but I'm told it will take about a month for that feeling to go away.

We left home a little after 10:00.

Although the forecast called for rain we didn't get anything and for that we are grateful.

Crossing the Savannah River into Georgia.

We lived in southeast Georgia for many years but never went to this part of the state.

Our first night we are "boondocking" through Boondockers Welcome with the GA Gypsies in Allentown.  We actually are hooked up to electricity and have water available.  They are so welcoming and helpful.

Tomorrow we move on towards Alabama!

Roving on...
