Savanna GA

Well not really Savanna. More like Paula Deen's

Half the fun was getting there. We were making the journey to Paula's and decided to divert ourselves for a short trip to some friends from the old neighborhood. They moved to GA and have enough land to set up some parking sites for a couple of RV's. At the time we were suppose to arrive they were in Atlanta and would not be back for several more hours. Instructions were giving to just pull up and back into one of the sites. Hook up water and electric and hang in until they got home.

We did that and DW pulled up to back into the furthest slot. the soil there is very sandy and DW just happened to get stuck. Stuck to the point we were unable to straighten the front wheels and the rear wheels would not pull us out. What do we do now? Level the unit, extend the slideouts, hook up water and electric, fix dinner and go to bed. Take care of the problem later.

One thing about visiting friends is both parties have to make adjustments in their schedules and they had a full one for the next couple of days. Not so full though we did not make it to Paula's. We went late Friday night and it was crowded. To our luck most of the crowd was a group and they were preparing the first floor for them so our wait was only about half an hour. Our seating was on the third floor. Didn't even know the place was that big.

Paula's has two dining choices. Buffet or menu. DW and I took the menu even though the buffet looked very appetizing to me. I just wanted to try something different. Red snapper in peach sauce, fried grits, asparagus, corn with I don't know what. All I know was it was goooooood eat'n.

Our friends taken on the buffet had a ball with the chicken and ribs. Sweet potatoes that were said to be out of this world and samplings of other fare that I did not taste nor want to taste. I didn't want to confuse my taste buds. But from their return to the line several times I know they were not disappointed.


DW had fried collards. Never heard of them before. Fried green tomatoes. Never had them before. She ate well. Said she was stuffed and I knew it when she through that eating utensil arm across the back of her chair. I never seen that before.


The next morning was dig out day. We started by lowering the jacks, digging out the front wheels and placing some heavy boards under them. Once the jacks wheels were raised some we could lower the jacks more and add some more boards to the wheels. The jacks quit. Oh what now! We diddled around until we located the problem being in the jack on/off switch I managed to jump the switch enough to get the on lamp to come on and then the jacks were operable - - - intermittently. At any rate we continued the procedure until we were able to raise and support the wheels enough to straighten them out and maneuver out of our dilemma. We then pointed the unit toward the open road and sat tight until the next day.


Of course we were not going to waste time. We contacted HWH and discussed the problem with them and the results of our trouble shooting. They agreed with me. So I asked if they could send me a new switch. No. But they could fix the panel if I sent it to them. We discussed the time frame and I decided it was way to long so I ordered a new control panel for the jacks. The next morning we booked. Our friends had obligations to meet and were already on the road earlier that morning. Next stop Fort McAllister, GA.
