dlights off when i was trying to adjust the mirrors got up the next morning miraculously found the coffee pot coffee spent the day learning things about the new rig note it s all electronic very confusing but everything worked as it should we only stayed two nights then headed home a virgin run i don t ever want to experience again posted by dfw at 2 41 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest new rv grand design lineage 25fw as mentioned in my last post we stopped at a couple of dealerships while in northern alabama in september we had talked about getting a driveable rv instead of tow behind our thinking was that it was getting to be bothersome to setup the tow behind not to mention the stress of pulling a house behind you i wanted a larger rv actually wound up going smaller our last one had plenty of storage both inside out but it had a murphy bed it couldn t be slept in without putting out the slide it also had a great outdoor kitchen with a lifted lid for opening which meant you could still cook when it was raining we thought that was a game changer for us however we couldn t find a driveable model with an outdoor kitchen in the size length we wanted we stopped at the great american rv dealership looked at the mercedes chassis grand design lineage model we liked the layout it had plenty of storage just without the outdoor kitchen on the way home we greg took it for a test drive he liked the way it handled we thought we would be able to find a grand design dealer closer to us in swga but the dealerships we found didn t yet carry the lineage line they only came out in 2024 so we made the decision to go back to n alabama get the one we looked at we went through the very long sales process as well as a walk thru then we had to transfer everything from our old rv to the new one what a rush that was but we drove away with it posted by dfw at 12 17 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share

on in late september we decided to go to a garden festival in jemison alabama i was able to get reservations at oak mountain state park in pelham al we stayed on site a03 little did we know it would be our last trip in the old pull behind rv forest river flagstaff microlite 25bds and i didn t get a last pic of it on the site boo the festival was about 30 miles south of the campground it was held at a beautiful nursery garden center petals from the past actually it was more of a meet greet for around 40 youtubers vendors here s a link from just dig it farms for more information great fall garden festival our main purpose for going was to assist our neighbors hoss tools setup breakdown their booth display we were concerned about it being hot at this time of the year but the hoss spot at the festival was in afternoon shade we don t watch a lot of youtube but we were familiar with several of the vendors through our friends at hoss it was good to meet a few during our drive to from the festival we passed by a few rv dealerships decided to stop shop see next post posted by dfw at 11 36 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels camping

the opportunity to attend a barn quilt class in fort gaines ga our go to campground hardridge is just around the corner but we got a spot right on walter f george lake the weather cooperated our spot 45 was on a peninsula with 4 or 5 other campers but none on our living side highs were only in the mid 80s waking up to lows in the high 60s was a delight the only issue was it was quite windy most of the time had to hang a table cloth to block wind in order to cook our eggs for breakfast we arrived on saturday got set up settled in for our 3 day stay of course coco had to go meet the neighbors right away wendell carol their rescue pup lizzy loved having coco escape across the road to their site my class was on saturday it was at a facility in fort gaines taught by timothy shaver who is also instrumental in coordinating the red clay barn quilt trail in the area there were only eight people in the class including me everyone did a great job here are a few pics of their quilts and here s mine i wasn t pleased with it after class so i brought it home added a bit more red orange like it a lot better now we relaxed on sunday went to the silo for lunch came home on monday couldn t have

to camping we left on the 2nd for a one night stop at chattahoochee bend sp just outside newnan ga no pics as we had stayed there before our site was 124 a pull through easy in out didn t even have to unhook we left the next morning headed to cloudland canyon just outside trenton ga on lookout mtn our site was 46 at the end of the loop in the west rim cg it was private on the living side w enough distance between the neighbors on the other side we had stopped at sam s burger deli outside of rome on the way up so only had snacks for dinner the back door neighbors had a bunch of kids so coco made her way over there any chance she got they gave her lots of hugs kisses on friday morning we went for our usual cg walk to check out other sites fhu 10 12 15 16 w e 24 25 26 were all acceptable took a ride over to the east rim cg tight small sites the interpretive center walked a bit of the overlook trail while we were gone a new camper moved in across from us as i was getting my bag out of the truck coco hightailed it over to welcome the new people to the neighborhood the lady picked her up was loving on her before i could get over there their names were becky john from iowa making their way back home after being gone since dec 2024 turns out becky is a quilter so we had much to talk about john is a retired business owner so he greg had plenty to discuss as well john now paints carves wooden pieces as a hobby they were travelling w two dogs one friendly one not so much the friendly one had a short meeting w coco coco i got up the next morning sat went for a hike on the west rim loop trail we only walked about 1 5 miles of it as it was quite rocky with lots of tree roots quite a drop down in the canyon here s a pic of coco on a flatter portion we got to a creek bed on this portion coco would not cross over it was too wide for me to carry her try to traverse the wet rocks so we turned around went back to the campsite had dinner just relaxed the rest of the day night pollen was horrendous everything was covered in it woke up to very loud thunder on sunday morning it rained all day long we put the murphy bed up stayed inside coco relaxed as well pollen problem solved for the time being in anticipation of the rain greg had packed up most everything outside it finally quit raining by late afternoon so we got the chairs back out had a couple of drinks under the awning before bed as we were leaving the next morning becky john came over to say goodbye to exchange contact info john also gave us a travelling gnome he had carved we told them it would travel

raining when we got there we waited for it to taper down to a drizzle got set up in the rain we were on site 46 this time which is on the lake directly across from the boat ramp so we had some entertainment during the day it was quite chilly after the rain coco doesn t do well with cold so here s her solution the next day was beautiful so coco i went for a walk then we relaxed the rest of the day the site we stayed on before was just a couple of sites down no one was in it it s a steep one so we took coco down there to watch the sun set we got home on wednesday afternoon got most of the camper unpacked we were supposed to have guys coming to screen in our front porch on thursday but as with most help these days they didn t show they came today fri worked about three hours left

24 23 we had a couple of other longer camping trips planned for late spring but we decided to put our fl house on the market didn t feel we could spare the time during the midst of doing all that we felt we needed a break for a few days so we scooted over to kolomoki mounds sp this was our second time staying there we got the same spot 11 it s on the end of the sites by the water w no neighbors on our living side weather was perfect it was truly a relaxing time with only a few walks around the campground out to late lunches early dinners so no cooking for us this time on the first morning we woke up to 2 school buses pulling in at the public area just across the way from us it was a fishing field trip of about 60 or 70 teenagers they were typical kids but not too loud later that day we saw a couple of boys fishing on the lake just in front of our site turns out they were brothers the younger one had a slight disability the older one was very patient with him we ate at blakely chicken as well as white oak pastures we were a little leary about the chicken place because when we got there it didn t look all that great but the food turned out to be good white oak is kind of a go to for us plus they allow dogs so coco got to go white oak sells their own dried pet treats such as cows ears various types of animals hides but into chewable size pieces for various sized dogs they are quite expensive so we just decided to try one of the beef treats coco loved it so we stopped by on our way home purchased a few more here are a couple of pics coco relaxing in greg s lap close up brothers fishing just chillin overall it was a very nice short trip which was just what we needed our next trip is scheduled for october hope the house sells we can get moved to ga full time

obviously become our go to since it is so close to home our favorite site 69 wasn t available so we settled on 28 as you can see it was private on the living side but neighbors were a bit too close behind us we had originally planned on staying three nights but cut it down to only two since heavy rain was predicted the last night into the next morning we didn t even put up the fence for coco since we were only there 2 nights and even thought it had rained earlier in the week there was a burn ban so no campfire 500 fine the first night we had a small fire in the grill since that was allowed we were going to go to kolomoki as our last 2023 trip but rescheduled for 2024 due to being too busy for the holidays so that s it for 2023 next trips start in march of next year posted by dfw
