We got on I-75 and headed south. We debated whether to drive through Atlanta or to take I-285 around Atlanta. I kept checking the traffic situation on my iPhone and it looked like I-75 was a better choice. It turned out that we chose correctly, there was a lot of traffic, but it kept moving with no holdups or problems.
We were making such good time today, that we decided to drive farther than we originally planned and decided to stop at Madison Campground in Madison, FL.
We stopped to get gas at a Flying J station at Jackson, GA at 11:15. We paid $3.229 a gallon for premium. We decided to eat an early lunch at the Denny's there and found a RV parking slot to park in. We left the engine and A/C running (with the doors locked) while we went in to eat lunch. It was 12:20 when we got back on to I-75.
I looked in the back seat this afternoon and saw that Tinker had pulled Bear (his favorite toy) up on the seat with him. It was so cute with Tinker snuggling with Bear and napping.
After lunch we called Madison Campground and made a reservation for tonight. It is a Passport America
member and we have a pull-through site with full hook-ups for tonight. But this means we're driving 96 more miles today.
We stopped again for gas ($3.149 a gallon) at a Pilot station at Valdosta, GA at 4:00. We then got on GA-31 south
and crossed into Florida.
We took FL-145 south through Madison, FL and then to Deerwood Inn & Madison Campground.
We paid $24.31 for tonight which is half the regular fee. This is the 5th time we have stayed here. We do have free wifi, but no cable TV. We are able to get 3 local channels - CBS, ION, and MeTV. That's OK since our favorite Tuesday night shows are on CBS.
We got here at 5:00 and Mike hooked up the 30 amp electric, water and sewer connections. We have been using our onboard fresh water the last couple of days without dumping our black or gray water tanks. Mike will need to dump the black and gray tanks in the morning.
