Opelika, Alabama 9-26

WESTWARD HO! We are now in Opelika, Alabama at Lakeside RV Park.

We did not spend much time in Georgia, no particular reason, just nothing cried out to us! As our windshield was once again bug free I got some pictures of Georgia from the truck. We could see some lovely vistas as we crested hills. Rolling hills covered in trees for miles. The leaves are just starting to turn. There are just no places to ever stop and rest when you aren’t on an interstate. We find old parking lots in some towns to pull out in, but it is always a challenge.

We traveled 136 miles today and as we didn’t have very many towns to wind through it went pretty fast. We left Cochran, GA. at 9:50 and landed in Opelika at 12:45. Then while we were trying to figure out the T.V. channels and show times we realized we had crossed over into the Central time zone. Up north there were signs telling us when we crossed time zones, but not down here. So we gained an hour!

We are right on the highway so it isn’t as peaceful as it looks, but the weather is wonderful! Low 80’s, sunny, clear skies and low humidity! Love it, love it! Lots of trees all around, but Larry was able to get a shot at the satellite through them. We are staying here two nights. Thirteen-fifty a night for full hook-ups and cable…Passport America again. We love ‘em.
