It rained quite heavily in South Carolina last night. We were up early and hit the road at 7 am after a bit of breakfast. Skies soon cleared and the roads dried off nicely. Traffic on I-95 was moderate until we hit Orlando. We cruised at 60-65 mph the whole way and only had to slow down for a little bit of road construction north of Brunswick, Georgia. Diesel was a little more expensive at the Flying J there at $3.139/gallon cash sale. Still a far cry from what we say last winter. I figure this will be my last fill up until we head back to Ontario in the spring. All together we spent less than $1000 on fuel to get south and that included filling with propane before we left Ottawa as well. Chris used the slow cooker and had a roast with potatoes and veggies on slow cook all the way into Orlando. It smelled heavenly. We ate lunch on the road while driving to save us a little time.
We pulled into Thousand Trails just after 1:30 pm. Check in was at the ranger station instead of with guest services. I guess that will change next week. The ranger told us to go find a site and then come back and tell him where we set up. G loop was pretty well full, so not too many 50 amp sites available there. We did find a nice level 50 amp site at E59. We set up quickly and were happy to see that everything is working properly. I wasn't sure if the water heater worked on electric or not as we had used mainly propane on the way down. But it is working just fine.
We walked over to play a little pickleball around 3:30 pm or so. There weren't too many players, but enough for a few doubles matches. Neither of us had played since last spring and were both a little rusty. We were both pleased with how well we played considering the extended layoff. We didn't play too long, opting to get back into it slowly.
We'll be here until Wednesday around noon when we'll pack up and hit the road for Sebring. Temp here in Orlando today was 27C or 80F.
