It's Time to Head Northwest to Waycross, Georgia

Eric and I have a travel schedule to keep.  It's time to leave Florida and head northwest to Waycross, Georgia.

Today's drive stars on

Florida State Road 19

North.

Trees are bursting
with new leaves.

On to US Route 17

North...

This section of northern
Florida has a lot of
Pine Trees.

Lumber trucks are a common

sight in northern Florida.

We drive past Seminole

Generating Station.

The Generating Station burns 11,000 tons of coal per day. Cooling towers are used to dissipate heat from the large amounts of water used to generate electricity.

Eric points out this old

Phillips Route 66 sign.

Railroad tracks cross

road.

Boats & piers on Doctors Lake

Black "spaghetti" in the  roadway's

median was a topic of conversation.

Eric thinks that electricity is 

being added to the median.

We take Interstate 295 North

around Jacksonville.

Traffic is light between 10:00 am &

3:00 pm, non commute hours.

This sign caught my eye...

Kenny Leigh & Associates

specialize in men's divorce

issues.

Our drive continues on US

Route 23/1 North.

Georgia;s state sign reminds me

of Ray Charles' hit song.

Folkston's water tower

Okefenokee Swamp Park

is that a way....

The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is southwest of Folkston.

Laura S. Walker State Park
Campground is our home
for the next seven days.

Here we are, lakeside

We have water and electric hookups.  There is no sewer hook up at this campsite.  Our DirecTV dish easily picked up TV satellites.
