Where are we going?

Day 173
Tallahassee FL- Keaton Beach FL

Absolutely ridiculous. That's how I would sum up this morning. We sleep in until 9 am and sit around trying to figure out where we are going. Our phones haven't had 4g for 3 days (that's why this is so far behind) and we didn't take the time to hang out in the city and figure out where to go today. It's OK... just breathe... Penny got a bath last night and everything will be ok.

So, we need a place for the night and this is the difficult decision. Head east; towards Jacksonville and then to Georgia. Head south; into the middle of Florida where the weather is hot and humid. Neither of us can decide so we leave for a dump station and then stop to fill up on gas and propane. We are now sitting in the parking lot of Flying J looking at a map. With a shrug of the soldiers we head south. It's already noon and we have no idea where to go. Dropping south 60 miles is our first option for the night. Another small county ran campground booked on a first come first serve basis. No dice, it's packed full. Our trusty backup is to drive another 45 minutes to Wal-Mart in Perry Florida. We arrive around 2pm and pull into the lot. There a little red sign greets us. "NO OVERNIGHT RV PARKING". Fantastic. Now what. A couple of phone calls get made until somebody says they have room for us. Back to the road until we end up at Old Pavilion RV park in Keaton Beach Florida. A lovely elderly woman checks us in and points out our spot. This will do.

Penny pulls face first into a small gravel spot. This tiny park has no amenities. Full hookups and friendly neighbors is all you get here. Eli gets leashed up and takes us down the road about a 1/2 mile to the city park. It's late and we are both tired from a day of stressing out over parking. Everything worked out just fine. Could be worse.
