Florida Adventure Part 2

 Ho-Hum

Glorious Sunrise!

THIS is what Ho-hum is known for....

There are very few RV parks where you can park on the beach.  Most are on the other side of the
highway, but Ho-Hum is on the beach side of the road.

What a view... beginning of a relaxing day!


Here is our beach home!

A fishing pier is included!

I guess Ho-Hum was a training base for the D-day invasion during the war....


This is very low-profile Florida...

RV park with a view...

Brekkus at Ho-Hum....


Dawgs love our beach front view...

Picture Picture!
















One of these pictures oughta work...



The views at night are just as good....



The kiddo's are hunting for fiddler crabs...





You have to stand still for night pix...











The Journey up the Coast

Lunch at Panama City Beach...

Leaving the Ocean and Going Inland...

Doggies on the Pier in Biloxi







This Place has an intersting History..
It was called Broadwater Beach

As it sits now, it is a homeless camp...

When you go to take pictures, be wary!

The Navion needs a break as do we...

The light station for the old marina....

Suyen wanted me to take a pic of a sea bird, the lens is a canon lens
adapted for Sony, so the focus is hard to manage
especially is bright glaring light...

The resort fell on hard times and was eventually done in by Katrina








We Overnight in Vicksburg, Mississippi
The Heat was too much for us and the Navion,
and the transmission went out in Greenbrier Arkansas
The Journey Home, finally...
I drive straight home and into work...

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...

1st Ever Show, April 5, 1980


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....
