Rain, Snow, Atlanta & Talladega

Well, this was an interesting day for us to travel.  It rained hard overnight and then cleared up for a while and we made good time driving.  Once we got around Atlanta it began to rain and then a little bit of snow flurries.  Nothing to be concerned about, but if it was a few degrees cooler, it could have been a problem.

We breezed through Atlanta on the beltway around it even though the traffic was very heavy.  Rush hour hadn't started so it moved along very well.  After hearing all the terrible stories about Atlanta and it's traffic it turned out to be a breeze.

We stopped for fuel and as usual the FlyingJ pumps didn't work correctly.  You had to go inside and give them your credit card and then go back outside and pump the fuel.  Then back inside to pay for it and leave.  I sent Gerry in with the RV card and credit card and she waited there.  They always say the pumps are going to be worked on, but I am not sure they ever actually fix the pumps.

We are spending the night near the Talladega Raceway in Alabama at a Passport America RV Resort.  They sure do take a lot of liberties calling this a resort.  It is fine for an overnight stop, but definitely not a destination spot.  They have a number of cabins and are right on a nice river so that would make it nice for the summer.  We would stop here again if we were in the area.

No cable tv and the antenna tv signals are lousy, so Gerry is going to miss her NCIS programs tonight.  They show reruns so she can catch them the next time around.

We drove a total of 360 miles today and it was for the most part an easy drive.  Looking forward for the remainder of the trip to be as easy.  Only one more big city (Dallas-Ft Worth) to pass through and also El Paso, TX.  Hope the weather holds up.

Time for my Yuengling reward and taking it easy.  See ya!
