Little Ditty About Jack and Diane

Davey hid inside his Gibsonton bunker....watching the road for us...map of our route is this.... When we arrived....wagging his tail he greeted us at the door... These guys grew up together in Western PA.  Back in the day, Randy's parents and Davey's parents were best buds.  Randy and Davey were like brothers....and Davey's sister Heidi and Randy's sister Sheri were close.  In the late 1970s Davey's family moved to the hamlet of Brandon Florida on Lido Drive.  This is where I first met him in 1981 or 1980....This charmer [Davey] made Florida look like paradise and Randy & I moved to Florida in 1983. We have officially added Davey to our family pod, he will be relentlessly cared for, visited, and expected to entertain us in Gibsonton for the future :)   :)                 R a n d y  &  D a v e y  People, let me tell you 'bout my best friend He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end P...

Mileage Begin:                De parture From: Tom Brown Park Tallahassee Florida Mileage End:                  To:   Big Oaks Rv   4024 N  Monroe St.  Tallahassee, FL 32303 Park   https://bigoakrv.com/ \' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We drove to this RV park before booking a spot.  It is slightly more than 12 miles from Tom Brown Park...and the driving route is easy.  We booked a space for Saturday night [2/12].  Here is what we saw on that day...we were at site 80, here is the map... We parked a-okay when we arrived.  It was a back into spot, we have an AWESOME backup camera....there was some, lively discussions, about the roles of a spoter versus the role of driver; who got eventure dibs, and who called it.  These discussions remain open..We didn't take pics of the Era...

I recommend their facilities as clean [not super clean] and plentiful.  I will rate this one as "any port in a storm" as a place you can get everything you need, even stay overnight....chances are at a premium compared to other choices. The drive was peaceful and sunny....this Benz drives smooth like a car almost....just longer length...  The drive was Tallahassee, using Tom Brown Park as my home base....to Midway FL...to Thomasville GA.We We parked next to t...
