We started our adventure by heading north on 98 to I-75. Which is a real adventure for us, since we rarely travel four lanes! We saw the fabulous horse country in Ocala, FL and the beautiful Payne's Prairie State Park. We wanted to stop at the King Frog shop Adel GA (since our journey has been filled with them!) We also bookmarked the Tococca River, we might want to tube on that on a warmer day. We ended our day with good friends and pizza at Southern Gates RV Park & Campground in Arabi, Georgia with our hosts Bob & Cheryl. Let me apologize to all the Maynard & Maudine fans, we left them at the Ponderosa for this trip!
Day 2 - Departed our overnight stop and headed into Corelle GA, which is the watermelon capital! Naturally, we all had to stop there to go into Walmart! Everyone had to get a thing or two! Why is it that everyone can never seem to pass by a Walmart? What has this world come to? We headed further north, passing plenty of pecan orchards. They are so amazing, remind me so much of apple orchards! High Falls State Park in Georgia is named for tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River. Will definitely have to camp and explore there someday! Arrived at our final destination for the week, Atlanta Motor Speedway, in Hampton GA. We are settled into a great site, on the end of a row with lots of space for entertaining. Spent some time today getting the Carefree RV Resorts booth set up, will do more tomorrow.
Day 3 - Started the day with coffee with our friends, just like a day in the park! Wayne cooked us breakfast, it was delicious! But, boy can he dirty dishes! LOL! We finished setting up the booth and made sure everything was set for my seminar. Later in the afternoon we hooked up with most of the rest of our booth volunteers, Richard & Vera, Jack & Jackie, and Tom & Bev ... Mary and Jerry will arrive tomorrow! Tonight we enjoyed a true pot luck dinner at our spot. It was a great night of food and fellowship with friends! We all are ready for 9am tomorrow when the Carefree RV resorts booth opens!
Day 4 - Opening day of the rally is always a great day! The crowds were steady all day at the Carefree RV Resorts booth! All of our volunteer ambassadors did great! They were all very informative and helpful! Our last two sets of volunteers, Mary & Jerry, and Paul & Sandra, arrived today. The rain damped the area in the afternoon and evening, but not the spirits of the rally attendees! We are ready for a busy day today and a great concert with the Beach Boys tonight!
Day 5 - The Beach Boys were excellent! It was a great concert! The first day of the Rally was a busy one! All of the volunteers were excellent to work with! We are located next to the Passport America booth. It is amazing, how you don't see someone for 6 months and it's like it has only been a few days! Great to see and work with Jim and Dale again! Tonight it is Vince Gill in concert!
Day 6 - The a Rally is in full swing! There are so many activities and seminars! Today is my seminar ... Purchasing a Park Model and Maintaing the RV Lifestyle You Love! It is at 1pm today in seminar room A! If it is time to stop RVing full time, stop in, you will be surprised! Checking back in! The seminar was great! I would say it was a success! I even had a representative from a Georgia park model manufacturer in the seminar! He was very helpful! There was also a guy who pimped Carefree, don't know who he was, but he certainly knew about our company!
Day 7 - Great Rally! Sad that today was the last day! There was a great Salute to Veterans this morning! The group of residents that came from Majestic Oaks worked hard, but we had some great fun! Charlie and I, as well as the Carefree RV Resorts marketing department, truly appreciate all the extra efforts you all made!
