Lois & I left Wednesday the 1st of October heading to Saint George Island Florida. Our first stop was in Greenwood In at Camping World Store. We park the rig and went to the store to let them know we was park for the night. While in the store did look to see if we wanted anything and walk out without buying a thing. This is the first time that has happen. We were up and moving down the road again headed to Gallatin TN. to see Roger & June Post. They have a place were we work camp and became friends. They were surprised to see us. We had a good time talking for a couple of hours and headed back to the COE Park for the night. We took are time getting around Friday morning cause we was only going about 250 miles to Calera AL at the Camping World Store. We got there  it was full and a  few rigs waiting for a spot for the nite. Lois & I decided to go on down the road and found a camp ground in Montgomery AL for the night. This day was a 335 miles instead of 250 miles. Anyway it is a full hookup and I got a good and needed shower. Oh by the way while I was hooking up the water the water regulator blew apart and I took a shower sooner then I wanted to.
