Florida Adventure

 


All the preparations in the world.....

Saturday 22 July 2023:  Away we go...
Sunday 23 July, 2023:  Benton, Illinois KOA, Cave City, Kentucky Wigwam and our drive down to Georgia....

Monday 24 July 2023 Athens Georgia

This is a college town that I have wanted to visit for probably 30 years or more.  I find many similarities to Lawrence, Kansas and Columbia, Missouri - two college towns I have explored very deeply.  Athens is legendary in American music for the many college rock bands that have come from here, most notably R.E.M. and the B-52's.  It is a great pleasure to get to spend part of a day here.  I would love to explore this town more in depth some day.

Morton Theatre



40 Watt Club


It is a hot day.  We find a shady spot to keep our home....



The Steeple



Interesting history here too...

Monday 24 July 2023 -- On the Road in Georgia


We pass through rural Georgia via state, US and one Interstate Route...
The children enthusiastically scrub the bugs off the Navion's windshield....

It is hot and we needed this rest stop...

Tuesday 25 July 2023 -- Our first beach - Tybee Island



Tybee Island, Georgia

Definitely a tourerist spot....

By the way, dogs are not allowed on the beach...

It was super beach hot, here, and very buggy. 
The dogs and I found a watering hole
to rest in and stay away from the sun.
I got a sody and the bartender is definitely a dog person
he made sure the dogs were well supplied with cool 
water even though they were not allowed in the bar.


We stopped for picture picture....
