On March 16, 2014
We left Camp Pedro around 7:00 AM and our friends Laurie & Bob were in the lead. I forgot to mention in the post below that Camp Pedro has a security gate with access key, which is returned in a little box on the front porch of the office when leaving. Woke up to a misty morning which soon became pouring rain. We saw about 5 vehicles on I-95 that had driven off the road and were in the ditch with EMS personnel and police attending to them. There was also thunder and lightning. I was monitoring the weather for any signs of severe storms. Most of those storms went south into Florida and Alabama had tornadoes. When we arrived at the Georgia State Fair Grounds and Agricultural Center in Perry, GA the rain was just a mist. It was a crazy mess with what turned out to be 3052 motor-coaches in all shapes and sizes plus their tow cars. We had paid for electric and the electric field was under water. So the first night our whole section was parked on the roads, with the plan to move us in the morning on Monday. We all drove in our car to Longhorn Steak House for dinner. After dinner we drove to Walmart and bought knee high water boots in anticipation of more heavy rains that were expected through the night. During the night it poured rain as promised.
