Awake: 5:04am Temp 53 sleep 5+34 overnight @ Bushnell, FL.
With slides retracted, blinds all down, temperature sensors set, suitcases & other winter clothes in the Suzuki etc, we leave the campground @ 8:10am with a destination of Indiana, PA.
Kathy takes the 1st shift following I-75 northbound for (180) miles & then we pull into the Welcome Center in Georgia. After a healthy snack of tuna salad, Triscuits & crudités, plus a new map of Georgia & a few hotel/motel Room Saver coupons, we are “on the road again” & it’s my turn to add the miles….we finish the day @ 460 miles which brings us to a Howard Johnson in Cartersville around 6:30pm. Kathy used a coupon from the Room Saver & $10.00 was deducted from our motel bill.
While we were en route, John from Nicktown, PA called to update us on their local weather. Later & several miles further up the road, Nick called about 2:30pm & gave us an update on their activities; he reports snow in Seattle & also tells us he will be going on a one day business trip to San Jose, CA tomorrow.
After our check-in & while searching for a suitable restaurant, Zack called @ 6:31pm wanting some info on his Camry; “my rear hydraulic strut is not working like it should” he says. We discuss how that system works & what would make it fail; but he was more interested in knowing if it would be safe to drive the car? “Yes, but not on bumpy roads or/and @ high speeds” I told him. We agreed to talk more about this in a few days.
Then we drive ¼ of a mile & share a Reuben sandwich with a bowl of beef stew @ the Country Pride Café. Actually it was quite good & filling.
About 8:30 Melissa called: she talked about how difficult it is to get organized for the family gathering as she wants everything to be just so & only has late evenings to work.
The boys are fine; Andrew’s tongue is healing.
Lights out: 10:45pm
