Tue, Mar 28, KOA, Wildwood, FL, to KOA Tallahassee East:  Left this morning again at 10:00 and stopped at the truck stop next door to the KOA to fuel up. Also picked up some milk and bananas. Got on I75 for just a few miles and took Rt. 27 west going through rural Florida. Glad to get off I75. There was a lot of traffic, and with 3 lanes you get people zipping from one lane to the other all the time. I drove to Chiefland where we stopped for something to eat. Pulled into a Walmart parking lot. Well, I had to back out of the first entrance I tried because the fifth wheel tires were going to hit a big curb/storm sewer. So, backed back out and tried another entrance. Had a couple of burgers and Mike took over driving. A lot of this area is big horse country. Huge horse farms with acres of lush pasture, beautiful horses munching contentedly, huge stables, and everything surrounded by pristine white or brown board fencing—all with elaborate electronic-gated entrances. Lots of money in this area. Anyway, we arrived and were set up by 2:30. Hope to get out tomorrow early to beat some severe weather heading to the Birmingham area. 84 today and sunny.
