Greetings,
Millie and I have escaped from this winter’s wobbly Polar
Vortex and its cold arctic air. Not that it’s really that cold in South Carolina but we’ve
got the motorhome, warmer climate is just 550 miles south, and .....well the
open road has been calling us!
We drive secondary roads as much as is reasonable so it took
two days to drive to the campground which is a few miles west of Disneyworld. We left on Friday afternoon and drove down
highway 17 to it’s junction with I-95 near the Georgia border. We overnighted in a
typical Encore campground which was old and showing it, but ok for a night.
You can drive highway 17 down thru Georgia, but we did that last year so opted to
take I-95 to Jacksonville Florida. From there we took I-295 west
around the city rejoining Highway 17 at exit 10. (RV tip: there is a large
parking lot adjacent to a McDonalds about a block down 17 on the right.) At
Palatka we took highway 19 which goes thru the Ocala National Forest
and on to highway 27 just north of Clermont. This is a very calm drive which
bypasses the often very busy I-95, and always busy I-4.
Our campground is about 20 miles south of Clermont on 27 but
our reservation wasn’t until Sunday so we overnighted at Bee’s RV Resort
getting the last overflow site they had available. It was a pull thru close to
the entrance, so we didn’t have to unhook the Jeep and were able to make a
quick exit on Sunday morning. By 10am we were settled in our assigned camp site
(C-11) at the Orlando housand Trails Campground, where we will be for 14 days.
Life is good!
See you down the road!
