Back in Alabama

Although the hotel room was fine, and newly furnished, it was lacking a few essentials. The internet has already been mentioned, but this morning we discovered there were no shower towels! Oh well, we can always open the truck windows if the air gets too bad.

We headed out on a clear bright morning, we had 245 miles to go. The interstate was pretty quiet being a Saturday so we just cruised along at our best economical speed. We averaged just under 13 MPG(US) or 15 MPG (Imperial) for the trip.

Having not driven the trailer for over a year I was somewhat apprehensive before the trip, but soon got back into the swing of it, even reversing in the gas station and driving through the outskirts of Pensacola wasn’t a problem. There was only one obstacle left, reversing into the site. The last couple of sites have been pull-throughs, so you go in forwards and leave going forwards. I got it right, and the trailer is parked where we wanted it.

It is nice to be back here, the resort is physically very similar to where we have just come from, but in terms of campers it is totally different. Here about 95% of the campers are long term, whereas in Georgia about 90% were just there for 1 or 2 nights. People certainly seem to mingle more here, and there is quite an active social calendar.
