We spent two nights at 3 flags and moved today to Red Oaks in Bushnell, the locals put the accent on the second syllable. We have stayed here every year we have camped in Florida, it's not fancy but it is one of our favorite places. When we pulled in today, Alesa said, "Now we are in Florida".
Trip Log
August 26, 2013
We drove the last 150 miles and are camped at the 3 flags resort in Wildwood. We stopped at the bank to set up on-line banking and check our balance, then to the mortgage company to make sure our ducks are in a row.
August 25, 2013
We are camped at the Golden Isles RV Park in Georgia just above the Florida line. We have about 150 miles to go to The Villages and should be there by early tomorrow afternoon. Today was our longest day, about 380 miles so we are quite tired.
August 24, 2013
Another great day of travel and the weather was beautiful. We drove down I-81 then on I-77 to Statesville, just north of Charlotte, and are camped at the KOA. We had a great dinner at the Golden Corral and are now relaxing in our 'home'.
August 23, 2013
After a good nights sleep we packed up and headed south with me driving the truck pulling the trailer and Alesa following in the Hyundai. We traded the tall corn and yellow tobacco plants of the Amish for the green mountains of the Shenandoah Valley.
August 22, 2013
As of 10AM this morning we were homeless and not paying property taxes. Yesterday they picked up the trailer at 9:30 and we pulled our RV trailer in front of the house and loaded it up. If we never see another set of stairs it will be too soon.
August 20, 2013
Our buyers, the Randazzos, did the final walk through at noon today and we are doubly excited because they are so excited to be moving into our house. They also brought some fragile items they didn't trust the movers with.

Jeff and family came up Sunday and helped pack the trailer and we made some great progress. Today I finished all of the last minute stuff. It kept coming and coming so we are now using 16 feet of the trailer. Alesa spent the day cleaning the house so it is spick and span.
August 18, 2013
Friday I drove the Harley into the trailer and turned it around facing out. It was quite a task since the bike is longer than the trailer is wide. Yesterday Mike came over to help move the heavy stuff and he did more than that since all the heavy stuff is packed quite nicely into the trailer.
August 16, 2013
Last night we visited Jeff and family and I drove my motorcycle home. Now to figure the best way to secure it in the moving trailer. Again, it was hard to realize that it may be the last time we will visit their homes as Pa.
