Warner Robins

After stopping in at the Georgia Welcome Center and dealing with a guy trying to scam me we dumped our tanks and continued south. we drove all the way to Macon before pulling into to a WalMart to walk a little and fill up with gas. This stop took $185.00 to fill up. The price was $2.85.9 a gallon. We got to my brothers house at 4:30. He was gone when we got here but arrived shortly with a couple of pizzas. After we ate we went down to the Kroger store to get our flu shots. We will spend a couple of days here then on to Valdosta to visit with Sherry and Jeremy and families.

On the move

After being in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee for four days we are on the move south again.
We took route 411 south for a nice slow drive. We passed some nice farm land along the way. Also the trees are still beautiful with full colors. It seems to be to late in the year for the leaves to show so much color.
After we were on the road for 5 hours we stopped to spend the night at the FlyingJ on I-75 at Resaca,Georgia. Resaca is the place where the first Confederate Cemetary in Georgia is located.
We didn't stop to look but maybe next time. The cemetary is on route 41 just north of town.

Dinner Out

Today we went out for dinner with our son his wife and son. He set us up so,once again I over ate. After that Nancy and I loafed around some. I have been wanting to redo the propane connect so I can use the 20 lb. bottles. The RV places have what is called extend-a-stay hose but it is $160.00. While over at our friends yesterday he had a bottle outside so I saw how he had it connected. Today I went to Tractor Supply Co. and bought a hose for the connect at a cost of $12.99. Boy did I feel good about that. The time it took for the conversion was 10 minutes.

Visiting Friends

We spent most of the day just sitting around. Joe,Cherisa and Haven did come out to visit for awhile. Then this evening we went to visit some of our road friends(David and Joyce Gilchrist which we haven't seen in around 3 years. After chatting a little bit we went out for dinner and then took David and Joyce back to their motorhome for some more talking. We enjoyed the time with these two long time friend that we meet in a campground in 2000 our first year out fulltiming. Our paths cross from time to time and we get together. We do keep in touch with them by phone.

On the road

After being in Kentucky the last couple of months helping as much as we could with our brother in law Jim and the family. We are on the road again. Sadly to say Jim lost his battle with cancer. He will be missed by all the family and friends. We will always have all the memories of the good times we had together.
After driving down some back roads of Kentucky and enjoying the scenery of the farms and the old barns.
We arrived in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee to see that they have finished "The Inn at Christmas Place. This looks like a nice place to stay,if you like motels. We prefer our own bed in our motorhome.
We will stay here a few days and then head down to Florida for the winter.

We are still in Kentucky,staying uin the yard of my brother-in law Jim,who is fighting a battle with cancer. The pain is getting worse and he is in the hospital in Morehead,Ky. We don't know how long we will be here,it is hard to say at this time. I don't get a chance to get on the internet much. I brought my laptop to the hospital and now online from a motel that has wifi. Will post as time permits.

We left Douglas Lake around noon and stopped at the Kentucky Welcome Center for a quick bite to eat. We drove all the way to the Winchester WalMart to spend the night. We will take our time getting our showers and getting ready to the 50 to 60 miles on in to Jackie and Jim's.

Thanks to everyone for clicking on the google ads on the page. The fews cents I get are not as much as some get but I'm happy to be getting any amount. Maybe I will be able to put some more interesting things on with pictures.

Labor Day Week End

Yes it was time for family and friends to enjoy an outing. This is the last week end of summer but it looks as though the high temps are going to stay with us for a while

The little ones were enjoying their meal and the adults also had their fill. After eating they all went in different directions. Some going to the pool to cool off while some went up to Gatlinburg to look around. It was a good day.
