Kings Bay GA

It is getting really warm now, so we went off doing chores. After lunch we went to the BX to get our hair cut. I went into the beauty shop, and Bill went next door to the barber shop. I got a decent hair cut, but Bill got the ‘active duty military’ cut, really short! He likes it, but it will take me time to get used to it.

We went off base, and right outside the gate are the ruins of an old tabby sugar mill built by a man named John McIntosh in 1825. The ruins are in pretty good shape considering they are almost 200 years old. Tabby must last a long time! Then we drove on down the road 3 mils to Crooked River State Park. It is a small but rather pretty park on the Crooked River. We just drove through the park and enjoyed it. Then we came on home to the RV. Bill worked a little on the Tracker, redoing some wiring on the battery. It had died again on us today, and we hope this was the short and it is fixed.

At 5:30 we went to dinner at Sonny’s Barbecue. We had eaten in one before and enjoyed it, but this one was crowded and the food rather sub-par but edible. We got home about 7:30, just in time to watch the coots come in to sleep. We weren’t out more than a couple of minutes talking to the neighbors when the biting midges descended upon us. I went in and got my face net which I got for Alaska and never used. It protected me, and Bill’s cigar smoke took care of him. Watching the coots come in adds new meaning to the phrase chickens coming home to roost.
