Florida Spring Training 2017 - Day 17

We are in Alabama.

We left the RV park in Mississippi about 9:30 am and headed east on I-20.  It was another easy travel day, interstate all the way with sunshine, dry roads and no wind.  We arrived in Oxford, AL about 2:30 pm and are staying at a campground right next to a Camping World. It is called the Camping World-Good Sam's Campground of Oxford-Talladega.  Apparently the campgound is owned by Camping World.  This is the first one like this we have seen and apparently they are now branching out to be a full service recreation company - selling RVs/Trailers, camping supplies, RV roadside assistance/insurance, and now hosting campgrounds.

The park is O.K., mostly level gravel pads but with  lots of room.  Not alot of ambiance but the park is close to a major NASCAR venue, Talladega Speedway, and I am sure the place fills up when the races are in session.

We will be here two nights and will be visiting tomorrow with a high school classmate, Paula Smith (Schell) who is married to Dallas, a retired Army helicopter pilot.  Paula is also retired from the Army - she ended her career teaching at the Army post-graduate school.

We are headed for Savannah, GA on Saturday then on to Crystal River, FL to visit my sister Eileen and her friend Linda.  After that, we go to Clearwater, FL and the start of spring training for the Phillies.
