3
Days on the Road
Well
we did it. We left Woodstock, Georgia on Thursday the 19th.
And haven't looked back. Our first 2 nights we stayed in a
campground not far from the dealer just in case. The first problem
we had was the water hose froze, luckily we had the dealer fill the
fresh water tank before we left so there was enough water for the 2
days we were there.
No
major problems so on Saturday we headed for Alabama to see my sister
before heading our way towards Texas and our first workamping job.
The first day we over did it and drove for 3 hours, way too much for
our first day. We found a nice little campground just north Mobile
and stopped for the night. Sunday we were thinking of using a little
rule I had heard about somewhere on the internet. The 2-2 rule.
Drive 2 hours or 200 miles and stop for the day. We did just that
and had plenty of daylight to set up our rig, square away a few
things and have some dinner. I was able to plot out the next portion
of our drive for Monday, getting us to Lake Charles, La. In about 2.5
hours. We'll see how that works.
We've
learned quite a bit and I'm sure we'll continue to learn something
every day of this new adventure. Just a few things learned already
are. If a campground doesn't post the mileage from the interstate on
their sign, plan on driving a good distance to get there and don't
even think about looking for any signs saying campground ahead _____
miles. Or how about this Slow WAY down when going over railroad
tracks. Some of those crossing are ROUGH, enough said. Don't expect
other drivers to know, understand, or care what the word merge means.
I believe most drivers thinks it means, you better get out of my way
because I'm coming through and I'm talking on the phone so don't
bother blowing the horn at me I'M RIGHT and you are wrong. But it
might just be me.
I've
heard it many many times from people on the road a lot longer than us
but believe me when I say campground wifi is slow if at all. But its
only been 3 days so we have so much more to learn.
But
at least we haven't killed each other yet, That's a good thing .
Right? Well tomorrow is another day of traveling and learning as we
go.
Be
Safe and I Hope to See You Down The Road.
