Finally feels real

To start our full-timing journey off right, we had made up our minds not to get in a hurry.  To take our time.  So we got everything ready to go, check the tire pressure, get everything put up and locked down in the RV, retract the jacks, and let in the slides.  I wanted to get our picture taken with Yogi Bear before we left.  After all, we had stayed at his park for a month.

Well, we were very careful and took our time about everything including hooking up the “tote”, our Honda CRV.  I made sure to run through all the gears on the Honda while Chuck finished hooking up to the motorhome.  We stopped at the office to get our picture with Yogi and then we were off.

We said good-bye to Murfreesboro for one last time as we passed by our old exit.

It seemed like no time at all before we arrived at Stone Mountain Campground right outside Decatur, Georgia.  While I went into the office to check in, Chuck began disconnecting the tote.  Funny thing, though, Chuck found that the engine on the Honda was running.  At first he thought I had gone back there and started the car.  But then he realized I had left the motor running the whole way from Nashville, in neutral of course.  So much for being careful and taking our time to not make any mistakes!  Fortunately, the car was fine, just a little lower on gas.

We were given site #91 which was a great site.  It was level, full hookups, and had a beautiful view of the lake.
