Tuesday, September 23 – We moved on down the road this morning, a short distance, to Augusta, GA. Paul's brother, John, lives here, and we will be doing the ALS Walk on Saturday. We are also having a family picnic at his house after the walk. It will be fun to see the “southern family” again. We saw the gang at Kelly's wedding – it's unusual to get together twice in one year.
We are staying at a familiar place for us, Heritage RV Park. We stay here just about every year when we visit John. The streets are sand and the sites are concrete pads with a little grass between each site. We are at site #63, a FHU site. The campground is continuously remodeling and improving sites. The road out front is under construction which will make a nice entry when completed. We are only about a 15 minute drive to John's house. Of course, he's invited us to stay with him, but no need, we brought our house with us... :-) .
Looking right.
Looking left.
Augusta is only a little over an hour drive from our last stop in Columbia, SC. We fooled around until about 10 o'clock to pull-up the jacks and head west. That may be one of the latest starts we've gotten off to in the 6 years of traveling.
Enjoying a little vino and great visit. Karen, John, Marsha, Paul
Besides being with family, Marsha is thrilled to visit this area. She can stock up on her pine needles. We gathered over 5,000 last fall, and she is totally out. We headed to Carroll’s house. Carroll was John’s secretary back in the day. We worked about an hour and then enough. We will go out and gather more on Friday…minus Karen and John. They have had enough of nature….lol.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day.
Glad to see you made it safely to Paul's brother's. Looks like fun gathering all those pine needles (well, maybe for some):) Maybe when we meet up this time, we'll have time for a lesson. I would enjoy making the baskets, I think.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your walk!
Looks like you have 5,000 more pine needles to pick up if you're going to replenish your stock. That in itself is quite a job. Love your site. It looks like it's big and spacious.
ReplyDeleteisn't it fun that the family always thinks they need to offer a place to stay (to give you a break?). . . umm no ohhhh. . .LOL!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that pine needle gathering. . .and the ALS walk. . .and the family gathering. . .sounds like a great weekend.
Every time I see you fairly long I need recycled from marsh. Enjoy your walk tomorrow I hope it's not too hot. Drink a lot of water.
ReplyDeleteThat looks easier than the way my friend Jack collects his needles. He is very picky about their length, and only gathers green needles.
ReplyDeleteI sure like your idea of taking pics looking left and right from your campsite as it gives a pretty good idea of what the setup is like.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and congrats on the ALS walk - didn't you guys already dump a bucket of ice water over your heads??
Glad you made it to Paul's brother's home.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature won't like that you're recycling what she would normally make compost out of.
Good Luck on the ALS walk this weekend.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
It will be fun to visit again with Paul's brother, have fun.
ReplyDeleteIf you are coming to the Island again this year we have at least a gazmillion pine needles that you can help yourself to.
ReplyDeleteHave a great walk today for a wonderful cause.
Nice to have a second visit with family. I would love to see some of your baskets when you have time to be creative with those pine needles.
