Almost Home

We have been on the road for two days.  We have one more to go.  There really isn't much to say about the trip and I guess that is good.  The stops we make are at rest areas, truck stops and our campground at night.  It is great having a diesel engine because we just fill up with the big trucks.  It is easy in and easy out.

The campground we stayed at last night in Tallahassee, FL say they are the best in Tallahassee.  If they are the best, we hate to see the worst.  The only grass they had, had signs that said not to walk on it. Where's a dog supposed to do his business?  Dad was concerned about how we were going to make the turn to get out of our site.  He ended up taking the long way around instead of how it should have been.  We were also not happy that their rates were higher than what they posted on the Internet.  It was $40 for a site.  CRAZY!  They did have great Internet, but that is not worth $40. 

The neatest thing about the campground were the big oak trees.  There was one section that was really pretty.  This was it though. If it all looked like this, we wouldn't be complaining.

Tonight, we are staying in Clarksville, TN.  It is near the Kentucky border.  It is a really nice place.  There are a lot of areas for us to walk.  The campsites all look really nice and clean.  This is a place that we wouldn't mind staying long term.  It is $33 a night.

The cottages are cute. They even have flowers under the side window.
Mama made a peach cobbler tonight.  Yum! She is also doing laundry.  Yep, the machine is still working. 

We don't know what is wrong with our map.  We updated it today and it is not appearing correctly when we view it.

Tomorrow, is our last travel day!

Joey,
The Greyhound Who Will Be Sniffing Missouri Grass Soon!

  1. Hi, I am so sorry about the bad taste you got from Tallahassee!!! I have lived here in Tally town for 45 years but never camped here!! I love this town more then any other... Do come back around when you are heading back and see if I can help you find a better camp site b/c I'll do the work for you.

  2. We have nothing against Tallahassee. The campground was just not worth the money to us. They have a lot of long term people who were junky. It makes the whole place look bad when they allow that. We didn't get to explore your town at all. When we are traveling, we don't unhook our Jeep, so we are basically stuck in the campground. I wish we had more time to explore each place we stayed because each town has something neat to see. Thanks for your offer. :-)

  5. Joey, you know how to tell the story well. I agree that sometimes campgrounds don't stick to their advertised prices! Not fair!
    Peach cobbler! Are you saving any for Scout?

  6. Tallahassee is not known for their campgrounds 😉. Bet it will be nice to sniff home state again.

  7. I bet it was great to get back to Missouri for a little while! Was the pee-mail you left still there?
