The Road to Savannah


















Yesterday we got up and walked the dogs a few laps around the campground.  We slowly packed up and got on the road at about 11.  Our low tire from the other day had lost about 15lbs of pressure.  We headed for the local Walmart Tire Center and Katy headed in to grocery shop while I had the trailer looked at.  I also found that our anti-sway is in tough shape.  I called them and they are going to send us a new part.  

In my inspection, I hadn’t seen anything.  When the mechanic came out, he found the lag bolt that’s been causing the air to come out.  We lowered the spare and found its a match to the other tires and rims.  I solo backed the trailer into the bays twice as the first time I was still blocking a semi.  We put the spare on and they were able to fix the tire vs us buying a new spare for $70.  It was a bit of work and only cost us $15.  

We headed out to the 95 and pointed the truck north towards Savannah.  Traffic wasn’t bad and the road was in pretty good shape.  We made a couple of stops along the way too.  The truck also pulled fine without the anti sway.  

Our first stop was the Georgia Peach World Farm.  We had a peach wine slush and walked around a bit.  While there, we learned they are new Harvest Hosts.  We bought some Dilly beans and some peach ice cream too.  The petting zoo would be great for kids.  They have some cute animals.  There is also a ton of space for Harvest Hosts.  

The second stop was at Nine Line Apparel and Black Rifle Coffee Company.  It’s a match like peanut butter and tuna fish.  (Who knows that movie reference?). We picked up a bag of coffee and a shirt for me.  It’s a great store with great items and amazing people.  If you don’t know about either company, check them out.  

It was a short drive over to our state park.  Skidaway Island State Park is closer to the coast than Savannah and is near Tybee Island.  The park is nice, it’s also big.  The trees are amazing, oaks covered in Spanish Moss.  We took a long walk and then made cauliflower pizzas in the Emeril Oven.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Image
Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
