Moved today
We moved back to Clermont, FL today to the Orlando Thousand Trails RV Park. It has rained since early this morning and we moved and setup the RV in the rain. We have a wonderful site here at Orlando TT and will be here two weeks. We will go up to Wildwood, FL. to try to find us a place to stay for six days while they fix our RV. There are a few State Parks around here to check out and we will hit the Thrift Stores again. There is a giant yard sale/flea market in Webster, FL we may check out.

Things I Forgot to Mention
This picture is of the Smokies
Some flowers at the Biltmore House Estate
Helen at Biltmore House
Another picture of Helen at the Biltmore House estate
One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was our visit to The Biltmore House in Ashville, North Carolina. While we were at Pigeon Forge we drove over to Cherokee NC to take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. As it turned out we drove all the way to Ashville and decided that it would be a long time before we got that close to the Biltmore House again so we visited that grand mansion. I will try to post some pictures but you can visit the link that I am posting here.
While we were at Pigeon Forge we stayed at Eagles Nest Camp Ground and while we were there it came a hard rain in the mountains. The camp ground is by a creek and the creek flooded. I have some great pictures.

Our most recent travels.
We haven't posted any thing in several months so I suppose we should catch every one up on our travels. We stayed at our lot in Lascassas, TN in the spring of 2009 and help out with VBS at our church, Bradley Creek Baptist Church. Our pastor Owen Ivery ask if we would help and I felt like that was something We could do. We left after VBS in July and spent one week at Deer Run RV Park in Crossville, TN with our pastor and his wife. They leave their RV there year round. After Deer Run we spent a couple of weeks at Pigeon Forge TN then traveled north through KY to visit Helen's family for a week. We got back home and stayed through Bradley Creek's Revival. I also needed to get the RV repaired from an accident that I didn't mention earlier. Bro. Donald Owen preached the revival messages and the Lord really blessed with his presence.
After the revival we headed south toward Florida. We had decided to spend the winter there and see if we liked it. My cousin, Lytle Givens, spends the winter in Florida and we would spend the month of November in the same camp ground. Lytle and his wife Sandra have been full-timing for about fourteen years.Just a few days before their departure he found out that his cancer was back so they did not get to travel this winter.
We spent about two weeks in one of our Thousand Trails Resort Parks in Clermont, Florida then went on to Bradenton, Florida to Arbor Terrace the camp ground where we were going to stay with Lytle and Sandra. We stayed there all of November. We then spent three weeks at Peace River Resort, a Thousand Trails resort. We met some new friends while we were there, Pete and Janice Cooper from Oaklahoma. While we were there we went to Highland Hammoch State Park, a wonderful state park with lots of trails to walk on and things to see. We went back to Clermont to the Orlando Thousand Trails Park and spent three weeks there. While we were there we went over to Blue Springs State Park to see the Mannettee that come up in there in the winter. That was the first time Helen or I had seen a Manettee. They are huge. The day before we left Clermont we met up with some old friends we met in Texas last year, Bob and Janice Collier. It was good to see them again.
We went back to Peace River just out of Wauchula, Florida on the 12th on January 2010 and revisited some of the places we went to back in December. We went back to the Highland Hammoch State park and enjoyed their all you can eat fish dinner one Friday night. Went over to Sebring, Florida to get a prescription filled and drove on into the downtown part, it was really a quaint old part of town. We will leave here Monday morning and go back to Orlando Thousand Trails in Clermont.

Our New 351RLSA Jayco Eagle
Here are a few pictures of our new camper!!!!!!
Helen and I have been planning to get a new camper for quite a while,but we were going to wait until later. We were in Arizona and saw this model and fell in love with it. Everything about it fits our need. We did not have enough storage in the Jay Flight so when we got back to Tennessee we looked for this model but couldn't find it. Camper's Corner in Nashville tried to find us a 2009 351RLSA but could not find one. We went ahead and ordered a 2010 set-up the way we wanted it. It came in July the 6th and we went down and moved all our stuff into it on the 8th, (what a chore) Although it didn't take as long as some folk would have taken, it was hot and exausting. We were in the middle of Vacation Bible School at Bradley Creek Baptist Church and that of course added to the excitement. We moved the camper back to E.G.'s house and stayed five days while we got used to the new camper and got all our stuff stored where we could find it. We are at a wonderful campground at Crossville TN. by the name of Deer Run. This campground is run by some wonderful people and we love it here. Our Pastor at Bradley Creek has his camper here and he and his wife came up for the week also. We have had a great time. Sylvester is doing fine after the enitial shock of the strange new home.
We are leaving here Monday and move on over to Pigeon Forge for two weeks then up to Diamond Caverns in Cave City, KY for a week to visit Helen's brothers and sisters.
We will be back in Lascassas, TN about the end of August then about the middle of September we are headed toward Stix River a campground north of Foley, AL. Plan to go down to Gulf Shores for a day or two at least.
