Well we survived the night in haunted campground in Opelika, AL just fine. This morning we spoke to the caretaker about the park. He said that the swimming pool was a spring fed pool for 70 years that was tremendously popular up until a quarry started and the spring went dry. The idea of a swimming pool meeting its demise do to lack of water when water lines are 75 feet away made me go humm. I think the pool was haunted and contracted a Opelikaness Monster or something. The caretaker said that the campground part was built with money from a government grant. I ain't buying it. I think the money came from some evil person that wanted campers to get hacked up during the night. The caretaker said that the town plans on renovating the old house back to its grandeur. I ain't buying that either. I think they tried to renovate it, and the construction workers got hacked up too fast. A couple of the RV sites looked like it had fresh mud with gravel on top that certainly was from Yankees getting hacked up and buried under the camp spots. Now you are asking yourself how does he know that only Yankees get hacked up by the ghost? It is simple, Southern ghosts don't hack up Southerners that would be barbaric.
Man it rained in Atlanta today. The robotic weather voice on the weather radio said high winds and a tornado watch happened just as we approached the storm. Oh goody. We made it through the storm and didn't stop but some people did along the side of the road which is fine with me. All of the people on the side of the road had on their hazard flashers like they should. The really stupid people drove really slow with their hazard flashers on so that people would come up on them suddenly and think they were on the side of the road and smash into them then have to bury the stupid people on the side of the road so that the stupid people would later become stupid ghosts that haunt the road. So, you should either drive without your flashers on or pull off and turn on your flashers. Otherwise, you become deadmeat for driving with your stupid flashers on. Morons.
We are staying in a "campground" near Greenville. This "campground" was carved out of a pasture when someone put in water, sewer, and electricity. I guess they spent all of their money on the utilities as the campsites are not even close to something that would resemble level. The leveling jacks couldn't level the motorhome at all because the jacks were too short and the rear wheels left the ground. Duhhh. The site next to us resembled a drive-on pit that used to be popular. You know a pit about 6 feet deep and wide enough to pull a car onto to work on the underside. This site looked like a drive on pit with two each 1' wide by 20' long strips separated by about 4'. In the center of the two strips was a pool of water that would have been where the pit was. I wouldn't pull a motorhome up on something like that. In the defense of the "campground", it is in the middle of a nice open field with a nice pond even though they did convert a drive-on pit into a campsite. I'll bet they did that so that campers would drive onto the pit and fall in and drown so the campground owners could feed the Greenvilleness Monster living in that pond in the field. It really is expensive to feed a Greenvilleness Monster, and who really cares about stupid people stupid enough to drive onto a drive-on pit filled with water. Not me of course.
Tomorrow we arrive in Raleighwood. YEAH. This has been a long trip, and we are looking forward to sleeping in our on bed with a real mattress on it. See Yall manana.
