Travel Day

 March 23, 2025

Augusta, GA

Diamond Lakes Campground site 22

Remember my mentioning that I have Dad in training.  Check this out!

I'd call this breakfast in bed!  

I wonder if he was feeling guilty this morning for those thoughts he was having.  He couldn't seem to locate his hearing aids this morning and he had the nerve to think I might have eaten them.  Well, if he just had a better memory, he would have remembered exactly where  he put them without even thinking such nasty thoughts.  I tried to tell him to always put them in the same spot and he wouldn't have to go on 'the search'.  

Now I just have to work on getting him to give me a full container of yogurt rather than just the leftovers that the spoon missed.  What a way to start a day!!  Maybe another guilt trip will earn me a full container???

It was travel day once again today, heading westerly back into Georgia.

Amazingly, we didn't experience much traffic congestion as we departed the campground and we easily made the turn onto the highway.  The GPS wanted us to head for I-26 which was the longer way mileage wise so Momma just set a couple of waystops to get us on Hwy 64 and keep us there until we reached US-278. 

As it turned out, two rigs headed out before us this morning and shared a great location for rest stop break.  One rig arrived before us and then a few arrived just after us

but there was plenty of room for all on the circle path.  The break turned into a bit of a social time while everyone stretched their legs and grabbed lunch or a snack.

The day turned interesting when one of the later arrivals found another of our group already set up in the site they had booked.  Hmmm??  A double booked site?  You have to use Reserve America to book.  Of course when a call was made, you had to leave a call back number.  After checking their personal Reserve America accounts, they finally came to the conclusion that the first party had thought they had booked the site but must have failed to complete that final, last step and the second party was able to book that site as it appeared as an available site.  In the meantime, a member of our caravan is taking time out for repairs and they cancelled their reservation.  That site sat empty but the question remains....is that site showing reserved on the website because the website hasn't updated the cancellation or did the site open up/reflect the cancellation and did someone else quickly reserve that suddenly available site?  Mmm??  So, no one has arrived and claimed that site so all is well and everyone has a site...so far.  Too bad we couldn't reach a person at Reserve America to answer that question.  Maybe tomorrow a real person can be reached to shed some light on the issue.  Hopefully, everyone will be able to stay put and no one else will show up to claim that recently cancelled site currently occupied by our group.

We were surprised that a couple of the sites had campers that decided to make use of their site until the 1pm departure time and were running a tad past that time to vacate the site.  With no campground office, I guess people aren't concerned with rules.  That's life in today's world.

Well, I can't say for sure, as I wasn't invited to happy hour in the afternoon, but I'm pretty sure that Dad didn't tell everyone that he tried to throw me under the bus.  But I tell all...and now you know!

I'm Chloe
