Today we drove east on the panhandle around the big bend and down the gulf coast a few miles to the Old pavilion RV Park in Keaton Beach. We are backed right up to the gulf and hoping for a beautiful sunset. We went to a recommended local fish place for dinner and then walked the beach and pie

We arrived at the Ho-Hum RV park early this afternoon and then the sun came out. What a beautiful day and area right on the gulf. We are settled in here for two days then on to another spot on the gulf about half way to Ocala. We then will have a week at the Grand Lake Golf Resort before going

We spent a third day in Ozark because it rained all day. It was a welcome rain which cleaned the trailer, tested the roof waterproofing job and gave us a great rest. Yesterday we drove south and are camping in Mexico Beach. A few days ago we had Apaches and Blackhawks overhead from Ft.

Today we drove into Dothan to visit and see the changes. Also when I worked for GE in Erie we built a small motor plant in Dothan and I was down here quite often for visits. Dothan is the peanut capital of the world. For those who might have been wondering about the Boll Weevil monument in Ent

Today we went to Biltmore. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the house but we did get a few on the grounds. It was a very interesting tour and well preserved and presented. It is still owned and run by the descendents of George Vanderbilt. We then went to '12 Bones' the local ribs pl

We left after noon today since we had less than 100 miles to go. We stopped at the NC visitors' center on I-26 for maps and local information. We got a good tip to get our Biltmore tickets at the AAA office at a substantial discount. After settling in at Wilson's Riverfront RV park we got our

We are in Bristol for two nights leaving tomorrow for Asheville. We did have a good drive from Va yesterday although I did get a 'check engine' light. We kept a close eye on everything and had no problem so we had it reset and it hasn't come back on. Yesterday we went by the raceway and shoppi
