A previous blog got us as far as West Memphis, TN and we traveled from there to Nashville, stopped at a Camping World to get a light wire to the toad corrected. Called ahead to make sure they could work us into their busy schedule which they did and we then spent the night at the KOA next door.
It was an OK KOA, narrow driveways, but very good restaurant next door between Camping World and the campground, called Cock of the Walk. Good catfish and other vittles as well.
The next morning we set out, stopping to fuel up at a place in the general direction (south) that we were headed, and the GPS took as right there to a Z-Mart where diesel was $3.53, about the best price we've seen thus far. Here in Orlando it's right around $4.00! Traveled on south stopping for the night in Forsyth, GA at yet another KOA. Big Prevost pulled in next to us and they left early the next morning and we followed them out, plopped back onto I-75 and ran into a lot of rain and heavy traffic. Saw one terrible accident where a car had tried to drive under a tractor-trailer. The car was a twisted mess and my hunch is that a wet highway was a contributor but big factor was probably driver error on the part of one or the other.
Arrived Sunday afternoon at Ft. Wilderness in Dizzyworld and entered by a very remote, bad GPS direction through the back lots of Disney. Took a wrong turn and had to make a U-Turn in a field courtesy of a very helpful and polite security guard. Checked in, and we are in Loop 600 for this week while I attend a national conference and we get a little more organized. Good to be in warmer temperatures, nice parking spot and while a little tight, was able to back in with one turn. Have sat reception for Direct TV and all the other amenities one would expect from a class operation. Even the Dude is happy.
Stay tuned, enjoy your travels, be safe and be well.
