We parked last night at Sheryl's brother's place in Clayton, NC. Everything worked out great getting the rig into Jim's driveway and it was a nice overnight in the front yard. Very quiet neighborhood. Got to visit with our grown up nieces and nephew - Nathan, Ambyr and her son Aiden, and Angela, her husband Nathan, and their two kids, Landon and Kenzie. We had a great time getting caught up after not seeing them for a long time. Jim lives in Pontiac and just retired from GM. He bought the house in Clayton and Ambyr and Aiden live there. Ambyr is studying to be a veterinarian technician. Angela home schools. Nathan is busy working a variety of jobs.
After a peaceful night's rest, we spent the morning fixing breakfast and getting hooked up. I should have taken pictures, but I was pretty busy. The strangest thing was a bush on one side of the driveway that I was afraid might scratch the trailer when I pulled out. I got a couple of ratchet straps out and tied them around the bush. Problem solved. We pulled out without any difficulty and then I released the bush back to it's natural habitat.
We made a quick stop in town for a couple of things and had an interesting discovery: Not all Murphy Gas Stations are connected with Walmart. It has to say Murphy USA on the sign in order to use the Walmart gift card and get the $.10 per gallon discount. But we catch on quick. Now when we call for permission to park overnight at a Walmart, we also ask if they have Murphy gas.
We are in Pooler, Ga at a Walmart tonight, along with a number of other rigs, all headed south. It's a 24-hour store so it might be a little noisy, but so far, so good and it's supposed to get down to 40 degrees tonight. Today got up to 60 degrees and tomorrow it's supposed to be nicer and we are headed farther south so it's got to get warmer, right?
