We're booked for 10/5-10/25. We won't be there for Halloween this year, but close.

Looks fun! I'll talk to Bill about it tonight.

I've decided we going to shoot for the Athens I-75 campground. I talked to someone there today and they were very nice.

Thanks!

I hate the idea of having to wear bracelets every day. I can just imagine how much fun it will be to get all the kids to keep their bracelets on and to keep track of them. A three year old with an AP bracelet? We would never give a little kid their ticket to hold or put in their pocket. Also, we don't usually know what park we will be going in on any given day. I'm sure by the time we decide, there won't be any FP+'s left.

What campground do you like in the Ocala area?

On our last trip, we stayed at Ocala RV Camp Resort. Staff was friendly and it was a nice looking campground, but getting into the site was a little tricky and we had to unhook which we would rather not.

Thanks! Pretty sure we won't make it to Chattanooga. I'd like to stop after 10 hours and with stops, that will put us halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga or halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga.

It's me again! I think I ask more questions in this section than anyone else!

We usually head to the Fort from MI by way of 69 to 65 to 24 to 75. This time we are thinking of cutting over to 75 right when we hit Indiana. If we do this, I am thinking we will stop for the night between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Any campground suggestions?

Also suggestion for campgrounds on 24 between Nashville and Chattanooga would be great too!

I entered, but if we won, I'm not sure what we would do with 5 of the kids.

I liked and shared!

Great TR, Gwen! I have loved reading it and seeing all your great pictures. It was wonderful to meet you two!

I didn't think the price was good at all. We paid $47 and they wanted to charge even more.

Judy: When is the last you have stayed there? I am thinking they have recently changed ownership.

Well, I don't think I'll be sleeping well tonight!!

We are staying at the In and Out RV park in Lake City, FL tonight. I would definitely NOT recommend this place to anyone. Tried to make a reservation a few days ago, the guy just said, "Okay", and hung up. Never asked my name or anything. When we got here we were not at all impressed with the way it looks. Lots of full timers up front and very junky looking. When Bill went in, the guy whose first language is not English, told him they charge an extra 10 per kid. He told us we are getting a great deal. Free water, electricity, and cable. He said they charge $183 a night over in St. Augustine. Bill told him we have three kids (which isn't true of course) and that we weren't going to pay an extra 30 bucks. After some haggling, we ended up paying 47. Then he told us the cable is out. The sites here in back are nicer, but the shower house is disgusting. We definitely won't stay here again.

We're still here until Friday!

We're still here until Friday!

We are in 1212.

Oh, no. 1200 is all we know.

Us? We decided to head to the pool to eat.

We are here! Waiting in the extremely full overflow lot for our site.

We go the 231 route and don't have any problems. It is all 4 lane. You do go thru some small towns but not really that bad. If you go the 231 route at Montgomery from I-65 take I-85 east to exit 9 (Taylor rd) to 231. It is all 4 lane. There are a couple of nice campgrounds on route 231.

Thank you!

Hmmmmm, decisions to make now. I don't want to get stuck going 25 for a time either. I also really am afraid of lane changes in Atlanta with people who go 90 miles an hour and then slam on their brakes frequently. What to do.....

Thanks for the input, Carol!

Carol: what did you hate about the rote mentioned above? Also, headed towards Auburn, what are the roads like that take you to

I-75? Which route do you normally take? I really want to avoid Atlanta. The way they drive there is just crazy!! Also, just looking for some different scenery since this will be a much slower drive than we are used to. I am thinking if we aren't seeing the same old things the whole way down (we usually do go through Atlanta), it won't seem as slow.

3 weeks from right now we plan to be closing in on the fort!

WoooHooo!!! 15 days until we head there!!
