We recently spent a great week in Sevierville TN. attending the Tiffin Allegro Club rally.  Upon leaving the rally we moved on to Asheville NC. where we intended to do some sightseeing and driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Unfortunately four days of constant rain caused us to cancel most of our plans. We moved to Columbia SC. for a brief stay and then it was on to Myrtle Beach.  We intended to spend six days relaxing on the beach, enjoying the sun.  Upon arrival we began to hear varying reports on the path of Hurricane Joaquin and also of the possibility of torrential rains coming to South Carolina.  After listening to worsening weather reports and realizing that we would be in the path of terrible rains and flooding we decided to cancel our stay after just one night and “get out of Dodge”.  The campground was very understanding and offered a full refund of our unused days.  Our next stop was supposed to be Savannah GA. We called and tried to move up our reservation but the campground was full.  That along with worsening weather reports for that area made us change our plans again.

We decided to move further south into Florida.  We had previously stayed at a nice campground in St. Augustine FL.  We called North Beach RV Resort and they had a spot for us.  We broke camp and moved south and it’s a good thing we did.  As everyone knows S. Carolina was hit with days of record breaking rains and catastrophic flooding.  Fortunately our decision to move south was correct.  We had fairly nice weather during our unexpected six night stay in the beautiful city of St. Augustine.

Being on the road full-time requires flexibility and patience.  Your best laid plans can and will go astray. Your willingness to accept the challenge and make the best of a bad situation is key to living on the road and enjoying life.
