Where do i begin? We hoped to leave the condo by 9:30 so we could get the rig at 10. Hoping to be out by 10:30. We did great out of the condo on time. They still had to fill tires so we did not leave till 11:10, i was a little annoyed. The rig is stored north of the city and i wanted to get through atlanta early as 75 south through atlanta always sucks. Dissappointed it was so late but we did not have to be anywhere quick. We had a resservation at eagles roost right at GA/FL boarder. On a good day it is 4.5 hours to that point and then 3.5 in Florida.
Once south of atlanta or mile marker 212, we determined we did not lose that much time. We started discussing if eagles roost was the best stop. At that point we thought we would get there at 3:45. It seemed silly to stop that early,especially with daylight till 8. Now i was not ready to make a call yet to switch campgrounds to Ocala Sun, we still had things that could slow us down. So we said we would decide about mile post 45. Now we road. We were planning on stopping at the rest area at mile post 118. We had not stopped and big things might happen here. We knew the next rest area was at 76.
We stopped at 118. Went to the bathroom, pet dogs and walked around. And then this happened

Yep i drove for 42 miles!!!! I had to change lanes for construction and turn in the rest areas. I did it. I had not told people i was going to try to drive in case it did not happen but i did it!!
After my drive we switched again and it was time to decide on campgrounds. Ocala sun had lots of spots so cancelled eagles roost and drove to Ocala. It was a good decision. We hit exit 5 at 3:45 and it was way too early to stop driving. We made it to Ocala sun just past 6. This means just over an hour to Disney tomorrow.
We had our first catastrophe as we were taking mallory out. Her harness broke. We swapped her harness for yeti’s. We actually lift mallory by her harness verses yeti is deadlifted and carried in and out. It should be ok for this week.
Am exhausted more tomorrow.
