We arrived at Coastal RV Park in Brunswick GA app. 12 noon and had an easy setup in site 708. Sometime while at Fort McAllister we picked up a hitchhiker (a small mouse). When I opened the wet bay door I saw him scoot by behind the panel in the wet bay and he had chewed my paper towels - I guess to make a nest. So when we got to Brunswick we bought some mouse traps and set two in the wet bay.
We got up with Hugh & Pat Miller that we met at last year’s rally and also met their friends John & Joy Tucker. We all have a 2006 Phaeton. Later we joined the TRVN group for Fajitas at the Pavilion then we went to John & Joy’s coach and ate cake and talked for awhile.
04/03/2013 Wednesday - We did our morning walk and had breakfast, then I checked the mouse traps. The mouse got the peanut butter and one piece of the cheese but did not trip the trap. So I went back to the Dollar Store and got some sticky traps. We joined the others at the Rally for supper at the pavilion.
04/04/2013 Thursday - We had breakfast and I went to a discussion on Mods followed by a safety talk from a sales rep for a tow bar company. After lunch I attended a demo of the software program Picasa . The group gathered at 5PM for a Pot Luck Dinner where lots of good food was available.
04/05/2013 Friday - After breakfast I attended a discussion on electrical tips for motor homes and then Lena and I both attended a Healthy Eating seminar. Then we toured a few motor homes to look at the mods the owners had done. Again the group gathered at the pavilion for a BBQ and grilled chicken dinner.
04/06/2013 Saturday- We did our morning walk and then joined the group for pancakes and sausage for breakfast at the pavilion. At 10 o’clock we participated in a flea market at the pavilion. Then we went to Hugh and Pat’s site for hamburgers for lunch. Brannon Hutcheson of Custom RV came about 3PM and installed SeeLevel II monitors on the MH. By that time it was time to go back to the pavilion for supper with the group. After that we returned to the MH and I did all the prep I could for departing next day.
04/07/2013 Sunday - We ate breakfast and got ready to leave. We drove all the way to the Alabama state line (424 miles) and stopped at the Welcome Center and asked could we overnight even though the sign said No Overnight Parking. She said it would be okay as long as we didn’t bother anyone.
04/08/2013 Monday - We departed at 5:30AM and stopped a few miles down the interstate at the Cracker Barrel and had a great breakfast, then it was back on the road again about 7AM. We drove through, Alabama, Mississippi and on to Vinton, LA. About 4 miles from the Texas border. We camped at Niblett’s Bluff Park/Campground. It is a nice CG right on the banks of a river. We got site 38 a pull through. The sites were grass with a hard packed gravel parking area for the MH. The campground is owned and operated by the local parrish. It has about 60 RV sites with 50 & 30 AMP service, water, fire ring, picnic table and dump station on the way out for $12 plus tax. Very quiet and peaceful. Probably on a holiday weekend it would be busier but there was only about 6-8 RVs there. It is about 6 miles off I-10 at exit 4 just before the Texas border.
04/09/2013 Tuesday We did a morning walk, ate breakfast, dumped our holding tanks and departed the CG by 8:15 and headed to La Vernia, TX to visit my brother for a few days. We arrived about 2:30PM and parked the MH under his pole barn and set it up.
