We left the Stagecoach RV Park in St Augustine, Florida and headed South on I95. This 225 mile trip will be our last one this year pulling the 5th wheel as our plan is to spend the winter there. The trip was very smooth getting here. As we approached the Park, the GPS was telling me our destination was on the left. I kept looking to left and didn't see it, so I looked to the right just in time to see Ancient Oak RV Resort as we passed it. Randy and Debbie were standing at the gate waving as we drove by. I was able to stop on Highway US 441 and back up enough to get in the front gate of the Park. Randy jumped into the truck and directed me to our spot.
As we approached our site, I could see that this was going to be a challenge getting the 5th wheel into the site with the narrow streets allowing little wiggle room. After looking the situation over for a minute, we decided we weren't going to fit in this site and we headed back to Illinois! Ha! Just kidding.
We drove around the block and came in from the opposite direction. We were fortunate that no one was in the site across the street from ours, so we were able to head into it and back into our site. After some jockeying, we were setting up and meeting neighbors at the same time. In the 89 degree heat, talking with the neighbors was welcome relief from the heat. We quickly realized everyone here is very friendly and not shy about introducing themselves. Later, Kitty and I put our heads together and could remember the names of about half the people we met. That proves our theory that our two brains together equals one normal brain!
Our site is paved and has water, electric, sewer and the shed in the back corner of our site has a washer and dryer. That beats packing up dirty clothes and trying to find a laundromat. The Park boasts a recreation hall, spa, heated pool, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard courts and boat docks. There's mega activities here including bingo,cards, dance classes, craft classes, pool tournaments, aerobics, and water exercise. It should be a busy winter full of activities.
