TTS Hop 7: Charleston SC to Douglas GA
216 miles via US 17, I-85, GA 196, US 84, GA 203 and GA 32. Cumulative tow miles: 1,653. This was a 4-hour trip with a midpoint lunch stop – no fuel, just lunch – mostly on roads that we had not taken before, except for I-95. I was expecting the roads to be narrow, … Continue reading
STN Hop 2: Citra FL to Savannah GA
224 miles on US 301, I-10, I-295 (around Jacksonville) and I-95. Cumulative miles: 475. The weather was less than ideal – intermittent showers the entire 4-hour trip – and much of the trip was on I-95, which we have traveled several times already. So the interesting part of the trip was the 67 miles on … Continue reading
Madison and Greensboro SC
We stayed for 3 nights in Madison SC primarily so that we would be able to visit with our good friends Steve and Elaine who came off the road last year to live in a Del Webb community at Lake Oconee SC. The highlights of our stay were (1) playing cards (we LOVE to play … Continue reading
STS Hop 11: Cecil GA to Bushnell FL
198 miles, almost all on I-75. It doesn’t get much simpler than this: get on I-75 at the exit from Cecil Bay RV Park and just keep going until exit 309 in Florida, then travel 1.5 miles on county 673 to our destination. It was a flat, pleasant trip in 90-degree sunshine. I-75 has traffic, … Continue reading
STS Hop 10: Madison GA to Cecil GA
190 miles, mostly via US 129 and I-75. There was no epic GPS/Google battle on this one; it was a pretty simple trip down US 129 to Macon where we hooked up with I-75. The geography was mostly gently rolling hills and the weather, though overcast most of the way, didn’t produce much rain. Just … Continue reading
STS Hop 9: Charleston SC to Madison GA
270 miles via I-26, SC 6, SC 178, I-20 and US 441. This was supposed to be a 256 mile hop, but we got embroiled in a battle between Google and our Rand McNally GPS. Usually when I plan a route with Google the GPS agrees with it, more or less. Not this time. When … Continue reading
QTS Hop 4: Savannah, GA, to North Ft Myers, FL
417 miles via I-95, I-4, County 557, US 17 and FL 31. This was the last hop of the relatively short QTS and I was hoping to complete the trip with no “dings” to report. Alas, ’twas not to be. We got two rather significant dings on Saturday. Day 1: Savannah, GA, to Daytona Beach, … Continue reading
Savannah, GA
We will be leaving the Savannah Oaks RV Resort today (Saturday) after spending a pretty nice 6 nights here. This was a working week for me, so we didn’t do a lot of sightseeing, but we did get to downtown Savannah twice to look around – once on Sunday night and again on Friday afternoon. … Continue reading
QTS Hop 3: Lorton, VA, to Savannah, GA
2 days, 577 miles via I-95 and some local roads. Day 1: Lorton, VA, to Wade, NC 293 miles, of which all but 10 miles were on I-95, with a refueling stop in Rocky Mount, NC. As usual, tears were shed when Jett said goodbye to her sons and her grandkids. We had her 8-year-old … Continue reading
