10.30-Arrive at Rose Bay in Port Orange,FL
We spent last night at the Walmart in Kingsland, GA. It was much quieter than we were anticipating. Temps dropped to the low fifties and, inside the coach, the temperature was at 64 at 3am this morning. I wasn’t to concerned since I was sleeping soundly, except for Scoots climbing on me on the bed looking for shelter under the bed cover from the cold. I decided to just turn on the electric heat, oops! Forgot we were boondocking; therefore no electricity. Normally I would just turn on the generator, but we’re sharing this parking lot with eight other RVs all in close proximity. Generators are noisy. My neighbor in back of us made his feelings felt when he came to the coach last night to ask us when we were planning to turn it off.

This was one of the two signs that we’ve been looking for. We’ll spend a little time in Georgia but the sign we are really looking for is Florida.

I was a little taken back by the question, since a Walmart parking lot has no rules, you get what you pay for, and your not paying anything, you have to accept the conditions as they present themselves. We went without the generator; just snuggled up a bit more. We arrived in Port Orange after travelling 136 miles right around 1pm. We got a nice site with good Wi-Fi and Satellite. We are having a small problem with the electricity but that should resolve itself. We’ve called Carla’s sister a couple of times and we’re waiting for her to call back. Tomorrow morning it’s blood work, Walmart (fix light) and it’s time for us to get haircuts. To the left is a schematic on this campground. We will be here for two weeks and it’s a Thousand Trails “Trails” facility. Basically it’s a freebie.

Awesome highway/bridge infrastructure in Jacksonville, FL.
The “Bow Tie Bridge.” We cross this bridge and we’re welcomed by the St. John’s River Bay.
