We’ve been back home for almost a week after spending May on the road. We got back last Wednesday, and our 5th wheel trailer got back yesterday. We had a couple of minor issues, and one potentially major one that turned out to be a false alarm, so we left our trailer at Terry’s RV Service on the way into town.
It was a great trip, and I would have shared a report before now, but Google Blogger has been having compatibility problems that were only corrected last night.
We traveled a total of 3,000 miles, but I kept the miles between stops pretty short – the longest was 257 miles, and the shortest was 150.
Our first stop was Frog City RV Park in Duson, LA – just an overnight on the way to Grand Isle State Park. Grand Isle is a great park with excellent facilities – and the fish were biting! We spent five days there before moving along.
Not everything was perfect – our TV antenna went up fine, but when I tried to rotate it, it wouldn’t turn and I ended up breaking it.
After Grand Isle, we spent one night in Alabama at Meaher State Park on Mobile Bay, and one at Torreya State Park in Florida.
Torreya SP is named for the Florida Torreya, which is also known as the Stinking Yew. It is a small park with large mosquitoes, but ok for an overnight stop. We were able to buy a new TV antenna at a big RV store along I-10 in Alabama, and I installed it at Torreya. The old one broke because when they were repairing our roof a few months ago, the tech had put so much Dicor sealant around the antenna it had locked it in place.
Our next stop was the Stephen Foster Cultural Center State Park, a park on the banks of the Suwannee River in Florida.
From there, we headed to Georgia, and I’ll pick up there tomorrow.
