January 6, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packed up and left our campsite about 9 am. We like taking back roads instead of the freeway if possible, to see more of the country. So we headed up Highway 19 toward Georgia. As we were driving Frank happened to mention that when we lived in Roswell, Georgia we used to drive on Highway 19 all the time and wondered if this was the same road. Looked it up on the atlas and sure enough Highway 19 comes from Florida all the way up to the top of Georgia passing through Atlanta and of course Roswell, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had decided to stop to explore in Monticello, Florida and have lunch there but we couldn\u2019t find a place to park where we felt safe staying long enough for lunch. So we walked around a little bit and checked out some of the old buildings before getting back in the RV and heading up the road a few miles and stopped at a Wal-Mart in Thomasville, Georgia to eat lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch we headed up the road another hour to Albany, Georgia. We toured the Flint Riverquarium. We saw a wide variety of fish from different ecosystems, turtles and even an Albino alligator who was sleeping in the sun. Then we walked down the street to check out the park that was dedicated to Ray Charles. He was born in Albany, Georgia. The statute of him at a piano played his music and the park surrounding the stature is musically themed so I had to take pictures for my musical friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it was just a short drive to the campground where we are spending the night. We arrive at 3 pm and once we got In the park were glad we arrived early enough to enjoy the beauty before nightfall. The Parks at Chehaw Campground is beautiful. It has 700 acres of conservation land and a wild animal park. It has both a BMX and RC race car tracks. This weekend they are having a Pioneer festival and the group that will be participating were setting up their tents when we arrived. We walked around and checked everything out and then watched the sunset. At night we could hear the wolves howl and other animal noises from the nearby wild animal park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had leftovers for dinner. I took the vegetables from last nights stir fry and made veggie tacos with cheese and sour cream. It was really good. Then we played a game of UNO before reading a bit and heading off to bed. We now will be turning West toward home and are sad this trip will soon be coming to a close.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
