Madison RV Park site 55

Madison, Ga

The ground was pretty wet this morning due to a shower last night but all is well this morning.  No packing up in the rain for us.  We were able to depart right on schedule at 9:30 and headed toward Blairsville and further sout when a text message arrived.  Often times, you have a guardian angel watching over you.  Well, we had our special guardian Tim watching over us.  A parade had been scheduled for 10am in Blairsville.  Using Tim's recommendation, we were able to skirt around the parade area without any issues.  Thanks for watching out for us, Tim. 

The first leg of our trip took us over Blood Mountain.  It is the kind of travel that the passenger gets to enjoy 

while the driver needs to concentrate on the twists and turns as we headed up and up and up into the low hanging clouds. Then down and down and down until the road straightened out and we could resume a faster cruising speed.

Our plan was to stay at a campground near the Farmview Market in Madison, Georgia. 

We had stopped at the Market last year, as they have a huge parking lot with plenty of RV parking room.    A worker enticed us to try a sample of their freshly ground peanut butter.  Well, all it took was one sample and Momma and Dad were hooked.  They use honey roasted peanuts.  Wow!!  Talk about tasty.  Luckily we didn't have to wait a whole year for another dose of that tasty peanut butter. Our neighbor was passing thru the area in May and brought us a couple of containers....which disappeared quickly.  No, Momma didn't have to stow them on my bed.  She found another hidey-hole.  Maybe she figured, out of sight, out of mind....and some peanut butter just might last long enough to be enjoyed when we get back to Florida. 

We arrived at our campground and negotiated the road construction barrels to turn into the entrance.  They are turning the two lane highway into a four lane. 

Our site is a lovely, wide pull thru site right across from the office.  

Now here's a first.  The gal checking us in said we don't have cable TV but here's the wifi code so you can stream!!  She actually invited us to stream TV shows/movies.  Momma was in shock!!  This isn't a 'just check your mail' wifi setup here.  Amazing...and yes, we didn't buffer at all as we watched our movie.    Bring on the popcorn, Momma!!
