mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Way back on Black Friday, was avoiding the stores surfing the web and saw a post from one of my fellow T@B friends that South Carolina State Parks has a 50% off sale on Black Friday only, and did anyone want to join her for a week in mid April. She called this the Carolina Lakeside Rally. Wow, now that's the kind of Black Friday shopping I enjoy! A few clicks later and I was booked for Lake Hartwell State Park from April 16th - 21st and Croft State Park from April 21st - 24th. Whoopee, camping with friends that I hadn't seen in a few years! As always, I hate wasting evening hours just sitting at home, only to get up at the crack of dawn for a long ride, so I booked a KOA about mid-way on my drive for April 15th. Then as the months went by, I realized I would be rushing home from South Carolina on the 24th, only to rush back down to Florida with my tent to camp with the WWW. I checked with Jason, and was able to get my own site at the Fort, and then booked a couple of campgrounds between South Carolina and Fort Wilderness. So here we go!!

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Here I am all hitched up, ready to go. Stopped at a rest stop for a moment and my first stop - the Cartersville KOA D And that's all for Day 1! As a note, this was also a working trip for me. I was more than willing to spend a few hours here and there on the computer to enjoy a long trip in my T@B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Saturday, April 16th Unfortunately, KOA campgrounds are usually pretty tight, and unless you are on the end, you don't have a very good view from your camper. Headed out for a short drive to my next destination - Lake Hartwell State Park in South Carolina. Unfortunately, even on a Saturday, I-75, I-285, and I-85 near Atlanta were miserable. I never have this trouble on the Southern end of Atlanta. Stopped at the South Carolina Welcome Center and then I was there! This place is really close to the interstate, but you feel miles away. This is a MUCH better view Finished setting up my stuff and that's it for day 2. Enjoyed the relaxing evening. My friends didn't schedule their stay to start until Sunday, so had an evening all to myself (and all the other weekenders). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'm in. Great report so far. Brilliant planning to take advantage of the Black Friday pricing. I didn't know campgrounds did that. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sunday morning, all the weekenders pulled out and left plenty of empty sites for the rest of the group. And they are arriving! We spent the evening relaxing around the fire Sunset over the lake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Awesome pictures! I missed this thread because I thought it was an old thread about WWW. Great pictures! What is the difference between a T@B and T@G? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The T@G is smaller. Actual teardrop sized with only a bed inside. http://www.golittleguy.com/model?id=65&model=TaG-XL-Max Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few that do, but not many. They are from a totally different manufacturer. Most actually move up to an Airstream Bambi. The lady that brought the Shasta had a T@B for many years, but they now have an Airstream, a Roadtrek, and then she usually has two classic projects she restores and uses for her Sisters on the Fly group.
