I don't want to drive home through Georgia, steep grades, not good for 1st few days in RV. I would like to stop at the National Seashore on the way home. Thought I would go from Florida to Mississippi and then North to Chicago, adds a few miles to the trip, and I would get some beach time.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-16586157654560671562011-04-11T22:49:56.814-05:002011-04-11T22:49:56.814-05:00Guess we left just in time huh? - not sure I would...Guess we left just in time huh? - not sure I would like the interesting looking bugs and the humidity - heat is ok :)Denny & Fondanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-6599033781779831172011-04-11T22:49:07.518-05:002011-04-11T22:49:07.518-05:00I hate bugs!
