On our way!

After a couple more last minute goodbyes, we snuck out (Ha, with a loud rumbling diesel) at the stroke of 9am.  We had determined we wanted to go a different way to our first required stop in Atlanta, so up US 19 we went into GA, and stayed at the Albany RV Resort.  An overnight stop, not much of a resort, but we got a big pull through and took a walk around the park noticing how it was almost entirely permanent people, and surprisingly the bugs were so bad we almost ran back to get inside.

The next morning we continued north to Guntersville, AL, actually Langston, up the lake from there.  Now one thing we all experience after washing our rig is how long can we actually stay out of the rain.  Even if you have been experiencing a drought where you are, if you wash, then move, it will usually bring in the monsoon rains.  We were watching the weather closely as we approached the lake, pretty sure we were going to get soaked, there was a very nasty line of severe thunderstorms just to our west as we made our way to Windemere Cove RV Resort, this time an actual resort.  As Jan was checking us in I was watching this very black, swirling cloud getting closer and closer.  She came back out, we got parked, and as we shut off the coach, the rain, the thunder and lightning hit, we even left the slides in until the worst was over.  We won this rain battle this time:-)  Finally an hour or so later, after rocking and rolling, the worst passed and we were able to get completely set up.  This place sells lots, and is pretty empty right now, nicely manicured grounds, a clubhouse, a pool, walking trail, we are parked right on the lake on a nice concrete pad, and although the rain continued until the next morning, it cleared up and although very windy, it is a very pleasant place kind of in the middle of nowhere.  It is 20 miles from Guntersville.

We are also going to spend tonight here and see if we can find a good place for lunch in town, then tomorrow head over to our old digs at Allatoona Landing outside of Atlanta for our visits, doctors, and to see our son.  Yes, it's nice to be moving again!
