Forsyth, GA

No photo tonight. We arrived at the KOA in Forsyth, GA, (about 20 miles north of Macon) at 4:00 p.m. (roughly) after a hard day on the road. Even though we left before 10:00 a.m., it took over 1/2 hour to fuel up on I-95 near Brunswick, GA (problem with the credit card network at Flying J) plus the folks refueling in front of us.

Then we stopped at Burger King in Metter, GA. I won't describe the problems at the checkout counter. But lunch took another 45 minutes.

Even though I-16 is a relatively new highway, it has been beat up by the 18-wheelers (plying between Atlanta and Savannah), so the ride was pretty tiring.

The KOA in Forsyth, GA is actually pretty nice. We are parked away from I-75 so we are anticipating a quiet evening. There is a family of geese, a couple of males and several females, and at least 6 goslings at the lake. I wanted a photo but I was tired and light wasn't good (etc.) so maybe tomorrow.

Margaret drove almost 3 hours today so was ready to stop earlier. It reminded us that many folks ask "How many miles do you drive a day?" When we respond, "About 210." They look puzzled. After all, most of have drive 500-600 miles a day in our youth. But when you sleep late, break camp (disconnecting / connecting stuff) and pilot a 15,000+ pounnd behemoth along bad roads at 65 mph (with 18 wheelers coming at you); then reverse the process in the evening in time for an adult beverage, relaxation, and a good night's sleep; a couple of hundred miles is about all you're good for!!!

Anyway, I'm off to play golf at 8:40 a.m. tomorrow. Margaret is going to relax. We're thinking about staying an extra night to catch up on some maintenance. I'll know more about that tomorrow. (We have a air-conditioning duct (or two) that have come loose in the dash plus some tire questions that need answers before we take off. More on these later.)

Signing off from middle-Georgia,
