Awake: 6:40am Temp 38 sleep 6+18 sunny overnight @ Macon, Georgia.
Looking out our front window, I see a vast & empty field with only tire tracks as a witness to yesterday's excitement! Looking out our passenger side window, campfire smoke fills the air as the boy scouts & their friends & families begin their awakening process, breakfast preparation, & packing up to move out.
We have a small breakfast while watching those tents collapse with the help of the scouts & their leaders & then we leave the Al Sihah Shrine RV Park @ 12:02pm, following US-80 to Phenix City, Alabama, then US-280 & arrive @ the Lakeside RV Park in Opelika, AL @ 2:31pm.
Today's travel: 119 miles 2+33 time 21 gal used 5.7 mpg 47 mph avg speed.
Our 1st impression as we pulled in & parked close to the office: "what have we done?" This place resembles an antique vehicle drop-off junkyard; no kidding, there are many old & rough looking, cars, trucks, & worn out equipment scattered everywhere. Our only guess is the owner is still expanding his RV Park. Then the owner greets us with a smile & says: "follow me."
After parking & paying the daily fee, we were quite content with our pull-thru level campsite sitting on white gravel with 50amps & good tasting water. Later, Kathy does (2) loads of laundry while I use my share of time on the computer.
Dinner: left over Italian sausage with mushrooms, peppers & onion & salad.
Mid evening, we finish watching the movie: "Watch on the Rhine" with Bette Davis, Paul Lukas, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Lucile Watson, Beulah Bondi, etc. Fine filmization of Lillian Hellman's timely WWII play of German Lukas & his wife Davis pursued & harried by Nazi agents in Washington. 1943. Very interesting & with an edge of your seat ending.
The above movie finished quickly, little left from last evening. So we brought up another movie for the evening: "Movie Crazy" with Harold Lloyd, Constance Cummings, Kenneth Thomson, Sydney Jarvis, etc. Lloyd's best talkie recaptures the spirit of his silent-comedy hits, telling story of small-town boy who goes to Hollywood with stars in his eyes, gets rude awakening but finally makes good.1932. No joke; I have never laughed more from all the movies we've watched so far during our RVing to date. Move this flick up to 1st place.
Lights out: 12:11am
