Georgia & Florida - 2015

 

My first stop in GA was at Jekyll Island to attend the South East Lazy Daze Get together.  In addition to spending time with the Lazy Daze folks, I also biked and walked most days.

After Jekyll, I went to Fort Yargo State Park in Winder where I normally stay this time of year.  I also took my RV to the shop and found out I had a bigger problem than I had hoped.  I had planned on going to the Lazy Daze plant in California early next year to get my roof redone.  But after talking with the RV shop and several other people I decided to let the Apalachee RV shop reseal my roof seams.  Previously I have had a leak in the cab of the RV.  The carpet would be slightly damp.  Since the reseal I have not had the problem.  I hope that fixes the issue, but am concerned that it may have done more damage than wet carpet.  The shop did not find any.  They also fixed a problem with my black tank.

Since my original visit was supposed to be a day or 2 they needed more time to fix my issues and had to squeeze me in.  I ended up leaving my RV with them for 2 weeks and went down to Sanibel Island.  It ended up being rather hot (at least for me), with several of the days being in the mid-80’s and a “feels like” temp in the low 90’s.  I would walk and ride my bike in the morning and then sit in the shade or in the condo during the afternoon on these hot days.

One day while biking, I watched this Otter come out of the lake, go down the road and back into the lake.

After Sanibel, I went back and picked my RV up and headed to Dillard, GA for the holidays. 

I had been planning on going out west in 2016, but since I no longer needed to visit the Lazy Daze plant and I had waited to long to get reservations at some of the parks I wanted to stay out I changed my plans.  I decided to spend my winter in northern Florida and southern Alabama and georgia.  After that, I would head back up to Michigan and Wisconsin.  I am still working on those plans.  I hope to head west in 2017.
