March 9th Wednesday - 81 Degrees
We arrived here today at 3:00 Pm after numerous tornado warnings along with severe thundershower warnings. We are about five miles from the Florida line. We were able to get in to our site and all set up before the rain hit and it has been raining ever since. Thank God for His great timing and safety.
We left Dobbins AFB at 8:00 AM and Lou drove through the bypass around Atlanta (285) at 8:30 am and it was bumper to bumper going out and coming in it was stand still for approximately 10 miles. Lou's comment was he would rather be at home on the farm shoveling manure than commuting back and forth in Atlanta each day. It took an hour to get through it.
We stopped in Bolinbroke, GA for a snack at 10:00 at a rest stop, it was rather unique, as it has a special spot for RV's with picnic tables, a free dump station. It was very windy, in fact, we watched a pine tree break in half and fall to the ground.
We called Warner Robins and found they had no vacancies, so decided to travel on to Moody AFB and on our travels we saw many peach orchards in bloom and pecan orchards in Cordele, GA.
We stopped for enough gas, in Adel at $3.51. to get us to the next Flying J that is when we started to hear the tornado warnings.
We made an emergency stop in Valdosota for a RR jack that came down partially. One thing that
is neat about this RV is when we put on the emergency flashers the microphone on the outside of the RV comes on, so you can hear what is going on outside. Makes communication much easier.
So now we are here for two nights, then off to my sisters for three days then on to Tampa. Probably no internet until Tampa, but am caught up to date as of now.
The picture is of some of the many of the Bradford pear trees that are in bloom.
