The story began with a 5-week journey in a 1997 RV, from Richmond, Va to Utah and back, July 23 through August 27, 2011. The next step included the sale of that RV and the purchase of a larger, classier RV we call Princess. Now we have changed RVs again. We sold the Princess to a family of 5, and purchased a 2017 Class C, smaller than the Princess but some better features as well as some limitations storage wise. And so our adventures continue.

Drive to Fort Pickens National Campground
Our 68 mile drive from Topsail Campground to Fort Pickens was not a fun drive today. It rained the whole way, and there was lots of traffic and stop lights along the way. But the worst of it was driving the last 8 miles where we dealt with high winds and down pouring rain as well as water and sand blowing across the road, the Gulf on one side and the Bay on the other side. Jim had to drive slowly just to see the road. It stopped raining just when we got to the Campground registration building, thankfully. We lost out small awning over the bump out. It's actually not lost but was torn away from the side of the RV by the high winds, so we will have to take it off when the weather clears.
