Saturday
This vacation finds us heading south in our motorhome to Bella Terra Resort in Foley, AL, just 5 miles north of Gulf Shores, AL. The facility is rated 10-10-10 in the Trailer Life Directory and comes highly recommended by RV friends. Nothing but class A motorhomes, like ours, at least 32' long and nothing over 15 years old (although most motorhomes all look new to me).
It was just 31 degrees when we left home.
We met up with Bob & Julee Mansfield of Neenah just south of Janesville aoout 9:30 this morning. We stopped for lunch in LeRoy, IL. How strange it was that just a few miles down the road we passed Mansfield, IL. Julee and I are waiting for our named cities to appear on the billboards.
The price of diesel in IL was $4.17 with a .06 discount for cash. At one fuel stop the price for gasoline and diesel cash price) was the same at $3.89 per gallon.
We travelled 550 miles today and camped at the Woods & Waters campgroud near Columbus, IN, about 40 miles south of Indianapolis. We made it to the campground at twilight with just enough light to hook up the RVs to water and electric and take our dogs for a little walk. Luckily I phoned ahead for reservations as the campground closed at 5:00, eastern time. And with daylight savings time, we didn't arrive until 6:45 p.m.
We visited with Bob and Julee after we dined in our coaches. LeRoy volunteered me to help Bob with his new Garmin gps that looked quite techy. I should have known it was way beyond my capability when I first saw it. I successfully locked up his gps by just touching the screen.
We decided to sleep in Sunday as today was a long day.
