Tallahassee Overnighter...

Keeping with my 250 miles/day (or less) driving regimen, we settled in for the remainder of the day. A very comfortable park just off I-10 east of Tallahassee (www.tallahasseervpark.com).
Owned, or at least managed by a New Zelander (love that accent), he escorted us to our large pull thru lot. All parks should do this, I might add. We plugged in, Sharon mixed up a couple of big vodka tonics, I got out the lawn chairs and before long we were enjoying the warm late afternoon sun with neighbors on each side of us. Next came the snacks, more drinks and if it hadn't started to get a little dark and chilly, we'd all still be outside into the night. One couple was headed for Bike Week in Daytona, and the other were full-timers headed who knows where; maybe Destin after Sharon finished with her Destin Chamber of Commerce speech. They were well travelled including four trips to Alaska. Say what you wish about rv-ers but I can't think of a better way to have a continuous stream of interesting people and places at your doorstep. On to Quail Run rv resort in Wesley Chapel tomorrow morning.

ps... for those keeping track of prices: gas is around $3.19 and diesel $3.73 (ouch!). Thankfully I don't need any for another 500 miles or so.
