Wrens Georgia to Myrtle Beach

May 20th 2018 Sunday

When we first planned this road trip we decided to combine it with a mini vacation. Besides the stops we made on the way down to Fort Rucker, we hoped to wander around to points as of yet undetermined. I was thinking the Florida panhandle; Millie and I both wanted to go back there someday.

Unfortunately, I had recently gone to see my dermatologist and he scheduled me for (minor) surgery on Tuesday. It’s only a spot of Basal Cell skin cancer on my face, and any cutting should be an improvement to my looks. Not wanting to drive the 600+/- miles home in one day we left Fort Rucker on Sunday.

Fort Rucker Alabama to Wrens Georgia

Always trying to blaze new trails we drove east to Dothan Alabama, crossed into Georgia and continued on rt 62 to Albany, then 300 to our intersection with I-75 at Cordele. North on the interstate we went, jumping back onto local roads at Macon. We had two pleasant surprises on this leg of the trip, first what we thought would be a small country road as recently been enlarged to a nice wide four lane highway, with very little traffic on this Sunday afternoon.

The second surprise was the small town of Milledgeville. We didn’t have time to stop but from what we could see passing by, it is worth a return trip someday. It’s a college town with a clean vibrant looking downtown and lots of southern architecture. Milledgeville is  on our list of places to visit someday. 

Georgia State University

Today we were racing time to get to our planned stopover before dark, so we had to keep going. In another forty miles we pulled into Boss’s RV park in Wrens Georgia just as a heavy rain shower started to fall. Boss’s is not a destination campground, just an overnight stopping spot. There were a lot of work campers there, but it was neat and orderly with a camp host onsite to watch over things.

We had done a minimal hook up the night before so we were out of the campground early and on our way home. After about twenty miles of local road we jumped on I-20 in Augusta Georgia. We traveled the interstate into South Carolina, past the state capital at Columbia and on to Florence.

When we get to Florence we feel like we are home, it’s actually another hour down the road to the beach. As always its fun to travel, but good to be home too.
