Perry Georgia

15 July 2007 - We enjoyed our visit with all the kids and friends in Ft. Myers but were ready to get out of the heat (yes, it was already hot). James, Dave and dad had spent several days working on Dave and Lori's shower/bathroom but had to leave the finishing to Dave. Not to worry - he can do it. It is quite interesting to observe Dave go from having little (no?) interest in doing mechanical type things to settling into a husband/homeowner role. Well, perhaps 'settling' is too strong a word but he has amazed the family (mostly James and me) as he takes on more jobs. Guess he just needed to be motivated!!

We traveled north and made our usual 300 or so miles and found a nice little park in White Springs, FL, called Lee's Country Campground. You will see no photos of the place as happened to be there just as the wildfires in Georgia and Florida were at there worst and we were fleeing the smoke. We thought we were out of the bad stuff when we reached White Springs but woke up to a thin layer of ash covering the ground, our truck and the trailer!! We made record time getting ready and departing!!!

The smoke continued into Georgia and we did not stop until we reached Perry, Georgia where we once again lucked out by finding a beautiful little campground. It was run by two brothers, had a small fishing pond and had a policy we have come to really appreciate - one price for everything. They had WiFi, cable, etc. and the price they quoted you included everything on the site (not advertised was pancake breakfast cooked by one of the brothers).

They recommended a visit to a nearby Air Museum and the photos are of our trip there. Well worth the trip if you are in the area!!!
