I often mention our RV trips, starting in 2010 with a very used 10-year old van camper, and after several iterations of other RVs our close to perfect Itasca Reyo 26′ Type A, 12 years old but the ideal vehicle and layout for us. Our usual trips last 14 days or less, and usually involved traveling between a couple of places. We decided it was time to see if we liked living in that 26′ for a longer period of time. So, we left October 8 and explored mid-south Georgia for a month, planning to stay at least a week in each place. In spite of a tow car breakdown requiring us to slightly re-arranging our travel plans by a few days just one week out we found it a comfortable way to travel and live. Midnight, our initially reluctant traveling cat, seemed quite at home this trip, even she liked the new relaxed pace and adapted well to living in the RV.
Of course this meant much more initial planning than usual since we had family coming into town and had to be back in early November. We give precedence to state and local parks for the natural settings (about what you would expect from two naturalists and nature photographers), but where not available we booked private parks. That led to the discovery of Four County RV Park in Danville, GA. This small, family run park in the country is only 30 minutes from Macon, and we loved it from the start. I walked the pond each morning, and all the photos in this post came from those walks. A hiking trail is under construction along with other improvements. The sites are open for the most part, but spaced, and of course full hook-ups. The couple who own the park are nice and very helpful, and we enjoyed several long conversations with them on the park and their plans for the future.
Short trips will remain a part of our life due to other commitments, but from now on we will be searching for times we can take off and live the nomad life, if only for a month or two.
