This morning, via ham radio, we found out that Gary & Nancy (friends from Huntington, WV) were heading south on I-75 from Kentucky on their way to Florida, and would be stopping at the Calhoun, GA KOA. We were going to be traveling north on I-75 and were planning on staying near the same area. A couple of phone calls brought a plan together and the four of us headed for Calhoun, GA from different directions.
We left George and Anita's home in Macon, GA about 12:45 P.M. after hugs and many thanks for their hospitality. Our trip through Atlanta via I-75 had several slowdowns due to holiday shoppers and normal Atlanta traffic. but we made it through the metro area safely in about an hour. It was an easy drive from Atlanta to the Calhoun KOA . We arrived about 2:30 to find Gary and Nancy already set up, and site 96 next to them reserved for Little House. We enjoyed Happy Hour together before going to Shoney's for a leisurely supper and good conversation. Meeting friends on the road is always a special treat.
The Calhoun KOA has very friendly workers and long sites with free cable and free WI-fi, although the cable hookup didn't work for us. Some sites are more level than others, but with the help of wood under the front tires and our leveling jacks, we were able to settle into place. This evening, a worker brought us two freshly made cookies - a nice touch.
We continue to enjoy beautiful sunny days, although the nighttime temperatures are pretty chilly (around 32 degrees). Tomorrow, we continue our journey northwest. We need to be in Shepherdsville, KY by next Friday afternoon.
