Well we finally left Alabama and the motorhome place.  We traveled a couple of hundred miles to Montgomery Alabama the day we left.  Took a campsite there and spent and uneventful night.  It felt good to be on the road again that's for sure.  I walked over to a fish place and got some nice flounder and shrimp for dinner.  We left early the next day.
Drove all day and after stopping for some fuel, mileage was 11 miles per gallon by the way, and for some food at Walmart then we made it to Ochlockonee River state park in Florida.  www.floridastateparks.org/ochlockoneeriver/default.cfm    It is on the southern tip of the Apalachicola National forest and is simply beautiful.  After we set up in a campsite near the river we went for a walk on one of the trails.  During that walk we saw much wildlife including deer, various birds, and several all white squirrels.  Our camper went from being the lowest on the totum pole at Tiffin, we were surrounded there by expensive rigs, to the top shelf amongst the pop up trailers and tent here.  The campers here are so friendly and down to earth.  We are going to do a paddle tomorrow and may stay here a few more days until after the election.  Go Obama.
