Just Traveling down the Highway

Well , we are winding down our stay in Florida and heading to Georgia.

       While in Florida, we took in many things. We volunteered at GKTW for 5 weeks. It was a lot of fun meeting Wish Families and other Volunteers. There is a lot going on at the Village, many volunteers just completed an extreme make over of 80 villas and brought them up to date. They are most beautiful villas now.

       There is plans to make a new Town Hall this year opening up in March of 2015. I attended a volunteer meeting and got to meet the President, Pam Landwirth. She is a Delightful lady that has the Wish Families at Heart !! Many suggestions were made as well as accomplishments done in the past announced. This was a fruitful meeting for all.

      Then there was a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon held on Valentines Day at the Gingerbread House. The staff served all the volunteers a meal of pancakes or waffles with strawberries and cool whip with a drink...Yum Yum. I met ladies(and men too) that volunteer here every week doing the same job for years.Thousands of hours are contributed every year by volunteers. You should come here also and help, I know you will come back again & again.

   We left Florida on Feb 27th to head “North” we made it to Favers Dyke State Park south of St. Augustine,Fl. There we met my sister, Reba for a few hours. We had lunch and took her back to the airstream at camp. She watched us hook up and leave the park. We dropped her off at her car and said our Good-byes... Miss you already Sis !! 

   We headed north to Georgia and stopped at a favorite state park of Fort McAllister. There is plenty of sites and they are all loop pull thru. The Hosts really keep this park clean !!   We talk to them and get ideas for Savannah tours. We decided to go to the Downtown Trolley Tours on Monday March 3. This was a fun day...see next story. We planned to stay here for a week and then head north by the end of the week.Hope its warm in Penna??

    There are a lot of pictures to show you from the past 2 weeks so I just put them all together with captions, see them here.. https://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/SightsFromFloridaToGeorgia2014#

Florida Flywheelers 2014

Friday, February21,  We hooked up and headed for The Florida Flywheelers get together. Hundreds...no thousands of flea market spaces and also a little village of ages gone past. We were lucky to secure a site right in the middle of things, only a few steps from the food court. $25/nite for electric & water. $7/each for admission. By arriving after 4 pm Friday our admission was good for Saturday also. I took a few pictures , so look them over they will explain themselves. I believe this is the Biggest gathering of Golf carts in Florida. All styles and shapes, see the pictures. So enjoy, we did... https://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/FloridaFlywheelers2014#

Give Kids the World

We have been busy all week. Sometimes we Volunteer at GKTW and also see the sights around the area. We are at Thousand Trails again after one week at Great Oaks RV Park. This park was convenient to the rear of GKTW, within 5 minutes we were there to help. Now we are 20 miles away.

       I did various jobs.. help with Dinner, deliver pizza, deliver Chicken dinners,  play “Obie” too, I even worked the Welcome Hut at the entrance. That was fun meeting families coming in and directing them to the registration building. I could see the excitement on their faces for the week ahead.

       We were also treated to a Valentine Pancake Luncheon for the Volunteers, we had lunch of pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. There was a Villa open for our tour of the make over done last 2 weeks. Beautiful in every detail. Here are some pictures from the past 2 weeks..enjoy..  https://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/SightsOfFloridaIn2014#

One night we stopped at the laundry in the campground.. Yes.. there are washers available. While waiting I talked to others in the room and met an interesting lady doing wash. She had many tubs of clothing to do. I ask if they were fulltimers? She said just over the winter because they were from Montana. They had a family of 12 kids but only 9 are with them now. Her stories were interesting and awesome in what they have done over the road. Here is their blog if you want to read about them...    http://ticknortribe.com/   They travel in a 42 foot toy hauler pulled by a Dodge Dually and she drives a 15 passenger van with kayaks on the roof. Full of adventure on the road. I started read their blog and scan their pictures This is the Best Home Schooling a child could get.. History.. Geography.. and many National Parks and states too... Read on !! I think you will enjoy this blog too.... God Bless Airstreamhobo & Mom

Civil War Reenactment

   February 2, 2014 ... Here it is Sunday already, during the past week we have volunteered at GKTW doing different times. Delivery of Pizza, working breakfast and dinner at the Gingerbread house. We have met many new volunteers and learned many are here every week at the same time slot for years. A lot are snowbirds as well as residents nearby, Boy I wished I lived closer, I would be here each week for something.

    Well back to today Sunday , I drove up to Renninngers in Mt.Dora again to see a Civil War Reenactment show. The admission was only $6.00 but worth the show. I pitied the soldiers for wearing wool outfits. They were Hot..only in the 80’s today. After the show I walked around the flea market and found more weird stuff...

   Here are some pictures to enjoy...  https://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/CivilWarShowMtDoraFla20214#

Steam Punk...

January 25, Saturday,  Did you ever hear of Steam Punk ?? Me neither, so we went to check out the scene. This was held at Mt. Dora at Renningers’  Flea market . This was a mass Flea market with all kinds of vendors. Today people dress up in Steam Punk ?? I can’t explain it but the guys have the neatest hats and outfits, I would call them creative artists. So many friendly people walking around... The antiques were cool too... See the pictures   https://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/SteamPunkShowAtRenningers#
