King George RV Resort

We got away from TTN Orlando a little later than we expected this morning. I suppose I should have packed up most of the outside stuff last night. That way, I could have squeezed in one last swim this morning before leaving. Turns out it took a couple of hours to get things all packed up this morning. Too late for a swim. Oh well......

We hit the road around 10:30 am heading north on Hwy 27 through Leesburg and Ocala, eventually linking up with US 301 and I-10 past Jacksonville. Traffic was terrible on Hwy 27 but picked up nicely after that. Wasn't long before we crossed into Georgia. Sure seemed strange leaving Florida after being here for 5 months. We thoroughly enjoyed our first winter as snowbirds.
Our drive to King George RV Resort took about 5 hours. It is located just inside the GA stateline just off I-95 at exit 6. It is an RPI Resort. We'll be staying here 3 nights before heading off to Carolina Landing in South Carolina. The park is quite small with probably only 50 sites in all. Most seem to be pull thru sites. We managed to get set up and then popped in to see the neighbours who had waved and said hello as we arrived. We had just sat down with them when a Discovery motorhome arrived. I glanced over and sure enough it was Bob and Laverne Krisby who we have seen lots off this past winter while playing pickleball in both Orlando and Peace River. Neither we nor they knew we were all coming to King George RV Resort. Small world!!!!
One small glitch on the way though. Seems the left brake light and turn signal on the Vue are not functioning when connected to the motorhome. Not sure what the problem is. Hope to get it looked at before we leave here on Monday.
There is a crawfish festival near here this weekend which we are all interested in attending. There is also a submarine museum at the King's Bay submarine base. That could be very interesting to see. Lastly, we hope to explore some of the white sand beaches on coastal islands close by. Should be fun.
