Good Bye Florida, Hello Georgia!

3/18/22

A drive day for us today.  Driving north on highway 27 leaving the hub-bub of the big amusement attractions behind.  Passing more orange groves and then the state line of Georgia.  We are staying at Okefenokee Pastimes campground, directly outside the eastern entrance to the swamp, a National Wildlife Refuge.  Very soon after we got parked and unhitched and hooked up, a strong storm came through.  We had been watching the storm clouds on the drive, betting on whether or not the storm would beat us to the campground.

I don't think we have ever been to Georgia before.  Possibly have driven through it, but not stayed here.  Now we can add it to our sticker map!

We visited with out neighbors, a couple who live and travel full-time in their rig.  Very nice folks, and they highly recommend taking a boat tour in the swamp.  After talking, I investigated the possibilities and scheduled us for a guided boat tour in the morning.  I hope this one is a go!  We spent some time walking around the campground, a privately owned establishment.  They have an area for tent sites in addition to the usual RV parking area, and working to expand in the forested area.  A lot of hard work for small business owners.  I am learning that running a campground is not a dream of mine!
