After pouring rain this morning we got the recall brake switch installed and a new air cleaner and left for our next stop. We had taken an offer from our Family Motor Coach Association to stay at a posh RV resort for a week for free. They are trying to sell lots and even though we are in no way going to buy one will bite for the free bee. It was only a short 75 mile ride and after the Garmin again took us down a dead end street into tobacco road, where we had to unhook to turn around, we made it. The resort is right on a lake that was dammed up in the thirties as part of the many hydro/electric facilities being built through out the south. In talking to the developer and owner he said the whole place was just a run down trailer park when he bought it. It is now perfect, full hook ups large concrete padded lots with landscaping everywhere. A huge club house on the lake with pool, hot tub, boat dock etc. We are impressed but as Lynda says she would rather be in a rustic State Park. Hey but it's free, the key word, with full hookups.

A shot of our perfect campsite if you want to call it that. More like a driveway.
Clubhouse with Lake behind.
We just now came from a Wine and Cheese party they held at the club house for the guests. We met some real nice people that were taking advantage of the FMCA offer like us. It's alway good to chat with other RV people to share tips, places to go, etc. Tomorrow the owner offered to take us on a motor boat ride on the lake. I'll be there.
On the road coming in we were reminded of just where in the South we are by the large Confederate war monument in a little park. Yes this is still South Carolina and I'm still a Yank to the locals. Should be interesting checking out the area in the next few days during the day trips we plan. David
Go Yanks! Hung out with a guy from Alabama tonight and watched the LSU/Alabama game. Didn't know who to root for b/c I couldn't care less about either. Told him I'm a Jets and Yankees fan and watched him almost puke. Love it.
