While driving the interstates does not give us a good look at the smaller towns, it is quicker, and usually has many good places for a rest stop with the large truck and camper.

Old Ft. Jackson, Wormsloe Estate, and a Brewery
As we are now into our last week in Savannah, GA, we are beginning to get back in the travel mode. I have done some trip planning with preferred routes. I also filled up the truck’s 50 gallon diesel fuel tank. It was great to be able to use my Kroger $.40 per gallon discount! I still need to wash the vehicles and wax the camper. I try to wax the camper about every 3-4 months. A big job! So, some work time ahead and more exploring as well. Continue reading “Old Ft. Jackson, Wormsloe Estate, and a Brewery”
