Americus, Georgia

 This was a pretty decent day to drive to another state.  Here we are in Georgia, this completes our crossing of the US, nowhere to go east anymore!  I guess we’ll have to go north.  Tomorrow we head to a state park on the GA-SC line.  Odd to think that our nightly camping is all planned, reserved and paid for the next 15 days!  

We got some coffee before leaving Falls River this morning.  Miss Jill said it’d be ready at 8, but we went over at 9 and they had to make it for us!  We talked with a nice Jamaican lady for a while.  She’s been here for a year and a half and is working at the market.

On the road we traveled SE for a bit, came to Dothan for fuel and discovered that the station is being remodeled, no truck diesel island!  We sat there for a bit while I found another station.  I had the fuel calculated fairly close, I didn’t have another 50 miles in the tank.  I did have another 5 gal. Stored in the back of the truck, that’s been there all winter.  I learned that out west a few years ago.  And hunting in Maine.  I’m still paying under $5/gallon in most places.  Occasionally 5.19, and seen it a bit higher.  Terrible compared to the under $4 coming out here in January.

It came as a surprise when we came through Plains GA on our way here.  Saw the road to Jimmy’s birthplace and saw Billy’s gas station in the village.  That gas station doesn’t look like it has had any attention since Billy was there!  It came up quickly enough that we don’t have any photos of it.

Tonight we are at a Baptist Church.  There are many churches in HH but this is our first.  Nice big parking lot.  Looks like a lot of big flood lights.  Don’t need that.  Somebody in a review said there were enough lights here that they felt safe.  Good grief.  City folk.

And this brings us back to Eastern Time too.
