We stopped in Bremen, GA for the night and went to bed fairly early for us. We did watch "Hope Springs" with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones last night since there wasn't much on tv in the area. It was a chick flick (my view) and Gerry was a little disappointed in the movie since it was rather sad.
Today was an early day for us and we were on the road before 10am with a 210 mile drive ahead of us. It was an easy drive and we caught RT 78 out of Birmingham, AL and eventually picked up AL 19 for the last few miles. Not much interesting to report on the drive other than some pretty scenery and a lot of red clay along side of the road.
When we arrived in Red Bay the streets were lined with people sitting on the curb, in chairs and just standing around. Evidently there was a parade and we were part of it. One group of young children made the pull sign for blowing the air horn and I obliged them. They gave us a big cheer, but I was hesitant to do it again since the police frown on this practice in town. The parade was for the Red Bay High School homecoming celebration and there was a football game scheduled for later this evening.
We arrived at the campground to find out it was full and so was the dry camping area. I did find a spot to park after I took on some water and dumped the holding tanks. Not exactly a prime location, but the price is right. Free! The RV dealer across the road had a couple sites with electric only right next to their garage for $20/night. No thanks. We may get a full hookup site by Monday and then there is a 4-5 day wait for the express service. Anything major and there is a 4-5 WEEK wait. Not for me.
They are calling for temps down around the high 30s at night in a couple days. Hope we have electric by then or we will have to run the diesel burner for heat. No big problem, but would prefer running the heat pumps on the MH for heat.
Now we sit and wait. Hope to get some geocaching in while we are here, but there aren't many around that we didn't find during our last visit to Camp Allegro.
Momma told me there would be days/weeks like this.

I have been getting more and more spam from bloggers since I let anyone respond to the blog. One way to stop the spam is to cut off anonymous comments. It is very easy and painless to get a Gmail email account and use it to post on blogs. You don't have to actually use the account, but it gives you a portal into my blog.

Fingers crossed that you get into a site before it gets that cold. That place is always busy according to the blogs I read. Good luck with the geocaching.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had to return to Camp Red Bay, and hope you get FHU site soon. Let us know when you get back to AZ. We returned to Benson today and plan to be here until early Jan, with maybe a side trip or two.
