Compass to Skidaway!

Ready to go!  We really enjoyed our time in St. Augustine.  Although the history we enjoyed downtown was amazing, our favorite part was spending the past 3 days relaxing at our campground.  Compass RV Park is a keeper.  The new owners take great pride in it.  The location is great & close to everything - shopping & touring.  Yet....it is peaceful & serene with a beautiful wooded setting & nice pond with fountain.  If we are ever in this area again, we would definitely stay here.  Bye bye Compass RV Park!  We wish you the best on your renovations.  You are doing a great job!  I especially loved your new laundry room.  :-)

Sometimes.......well, probably most of the time, we don't look at our plans for the next day until the morning we leave. Yes, I ALWAYS make reservations.  I absolutely have to cause that's who I am...a planner.  LOL!  Anyway, we were very happy to see that we only have 3 hours to travel to our next destination - Skidaway State Park in Savannah, GA.

Traveling went smoothly and thankful for the good Lord watching over us.  While traveling through Jacksonville on I-95, (note to self - take bypass next time) we almost ran straight into a barricade of orange barrels.  Thankfully, the construction truck on our left was switching lanes for us.  Dave had seconds to react & went to the left into his lane while he was moving out.  The barrels & construction were directly in front of us.  I still don't know how we avoided such a horrific accident.  Yes  I do..........thank you Jesus.   

We easily found this state park.  You learn after traveling awhile with a 5th wheel to keep a Good Sam RV Atlas in your lap, Maps on one phone, Waze on the other & Big Rigs book available at all times.  Big Rigs disappointed us this time but thankfully, our navigation got us there just fine.  

This is one of the nicest State Parks that we have stayed at. The sites are huge!  I wish all parks were like this one.  Everyone has a large site with beautiful  views of the woods.  It was fun setting everything up including our Coleman screened tent & smiley lights.  We are all set to do some real camping now.  OK.....glamping maybe?  :-)

Bad storms coming our way & had to scurry to the bathhouse a couple of times for tornado warnings.  It looks like tomorrow will be another day like this one.  Oh well.......time  to settle in and do a little relaxing.  

 

FIX IT DAVE!  Carbon dioxide detector alarms went off.  We had an empty propane tank & that probably caused it.  Dave hooked up the second one and all was good!   If we actually had a following of RVers, I would be begging Dave to add all of his diagnosis & fixing techniques for all the quirky things he fixes.  When we left FT Myers Beach, our left blinker & brake lights were not working.  I knew he would fix it.  He did.  He trouble-shooted in St Augustine & we now have left blinkers & break lights.  I mean.  Really.  It is almost a daily thing with us while we experience this life living in an RV.  If you are an RVer or not & live like normal people in a home & would enjoy a blog by him fixing stuff, let me know.  I have been telling him for years now to start a DAVE FIX IT Blog & help people.  Just saying!  Can you tell that I am proud of this man? 43 years with this man. He is a keeper!
