WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2014

After sleeping in the RV on our driveway we arose early and were on the road by 3:58 AM. We drove County Road 44 through Deland to International  Speedway and onto I-95. About halfway along this route, Mark remembered writing down a better route when we came home from Asheville last September. Duh, we should have checked our notes before leaving. It would have saved 20 minutes. 

In Florida, The Sunshine State, population 19 million ... we saw a rabbit, an owl, a deer and a meteorite. Cool. 

In Georgia, The Peach State, population 9.7 million, we spotted a deer. It was quite foggy though. 

In South Carolina, The Palmetto State, population 4.6 million ... we encountered huge potholes ;-(

We saw the Ron Jon Surf Shop camper

A nice "Woody"!  

Haha. Poor Robbie! The sun screen blind  on his window suddenly rolled up and fell. He scrambled right up front and onto his mom's lap. LOL. 

Maggie, aka "Co-pilot". 

At exit 5 in South Carolina on I 26 we stopped at a Kangaroo Travel Center for fuel. I took our first picture of the Smokies ... so named for their color, I think???

Taken from the plaza lot ...

In North Carolina, The Tar Heel State, 9.5 million ... and Savannah & Marshall are gettin' hitched on Saturday. 

The first green of spring is on the trees!

We finally arrived at Asheville KOA after a roundabout GPS route through Fletcher! (No, Sue, the campground ad didn't specify a route, only a street address. LOL). Anyway, the KOA office was flustered because we wanted to stay two more nights ... half the park, at least, was  vacant. It's just a case of management being unwilling to roll with changes! We have to move to a different site on Friday. Whatever. No biggie. We're here!

Our "crik".  Forecast for 38F tonight. Capital BRRR. A quick snack and bedtime; we're tired tonight.
