Hurricane Matthew

On Thursday morning Oct.6 2016 we left New Smyrna Beach in our motorhome because of the approaching hurricane. They were saying that we could get  a flood surge of about 7 to 11 feet. Time to go. We decided to go West to Ocala to get away from the flooding. So far over here we are only getting some rain.


Today Friday Oct.7,2016 10:23 a.m. the eye is just off NSB and the wind is 80 to 100MPH. The tide is rising.
We don't know when we can get home yet.

Lake Guntersville State Park / Lodge

Located along the banks of the Tennessee River in Northwest Alabama, Lake Guntersville Resort State Park on 6,000 acres of natural woodlands. The park has a 18 hole championship golf course, a beach complex, on Alabama's largest lake. They have plenty of overnight options to choose from. They have a well appointed resort lodge on the pinnacle of Taylor Mountain, and chalets on the ridge-tops provide plenty of options.
If you are ever in the area this is a great park to stay at. It has FHU's.

Visited with my cousin

We visited with my cousin Cliff and his wife Vickie. They have a beautiful home on 10 acres in Oakland, TN. and just happened to have room to park the RV with 50 amp. electric also. I haven't seen Cliff or talked to him since the 60's so it was nice getting together and talk about what was going on in our lives.






Tucked in next to the garage.

Seven Points COE Campground 2nd site

Yesterday afternoon  we had to change sites because of low voltage at our site. I had 124 volts on one leg and 104 on the other. Maintenance  man was no help.  We were suppose to be here until Friday. They are full so today we are looking for another campground. That's a shame because this is a nice place.
