May 16, Dayton Tall Trees KOA, Ohio


Back in Dayton Ohio, time really flew by. Spending 2 nights at the park to wash the bedding etc and flush the tanks to prepare the RV for storage. On Friday we will move back to Henry, getting someone in to wash the RV at Henry's before taking it to storage.
That's it for this trip, thanks for following and the comments, we always enjoy some feedback.

May 14, Louiseville South, Kentucky



The loop is nearly complete, a mere 140 Miles today(we go in small steps). The Kentucky section of the the I-65 was impressive with 3 lanes and smooth surface, sadly it changed when we got near to Louiseville, more roadwork needed. Tomorrow on to Dayton Ohio, Tall Trees KOA for 2 nights then back to Henry on Friday.

May 13, Nashville North KOA, Tennessee



Today was an easier but also long drive along the I-65, all of 245 Miles, Alabama needs to do some more roadwork. Got to the KOA in time for an afternoon rest. Our journey is rapidly coming to an end, only 2 more stops before we are back in Dayton Ohio.
Time really does fly when you are having fun.


May 11, Birmingham, Alabama




Sorry, better late than never. Had a very tiring trip through some country roads and bad weather to get to Birmingham South RV park, 260 Miles from Topsail. Will spend 2 nights here so we can celebrate Mothers Day and I can watch the Spanish GP. Monday we move on to Nashville

May 10, Topsail Hil Preserve State Park




Managed to get an extra night at Topsail, yesterday conditions were Red flag, ie the wind was howling so we just could'nt swim, today was even worse Red and Purple flag meaning Jelly Fish and Sting Ray in water but the wind was much calmer.
Went down to the beach in the morning and decided not to risk it but in the afternoon time had run out, tomorrow we leave, no Jelly Fish in sight, calm weather, beautiful sea, we had a great swim, no stings or upsets, sometimes you just have to take a plunge.

May 8, Topsail Reserve Stae Park, Florida








After having 4 days of doing nothing in a very nice park, today we moved on to our favourite park on the Gulf Coast, Top Sail Hill State Preserve.  We have a lovely site, took the trolley down to the beach this afternoon for our first swim.  The wind was blowing, the surf was a little rough but we still enjoyed our swim.   The park runs a "trolley" that being a Ford truck, towing two trailers with seats, to the beach every 30 minutes.  The last time we were here we hired bikes and rode to the beach and other trails.  We are not sure whether we will do that again or just make use of the trolley.

May 5, Emerald Beach, Florida







So today we visited a REAL Gulf beach, some fellow campers, Matt and Martha, offered to take us to a nearby public beach, Navarre Beach, well at least got our feet wet.
These encounters often happen as a result of the girls chatting in the laundry.
More good news is that we managed to get 2 nights in our favourite RV park, Topsail from Wednesday on. We may have to get a hurry-up to get back to Henry in time but that's ok.
