Tropical Depression Sally formed outside of Marco Island and slowly moved through SWFL on Saturday and Sunday. We seized the opportunity to hit the road, confident in the Sprinter van, after nearly two weeks of emergency experimental repairs and reconfigurations to the solar energy components in Naples FL. It was a wet ride out of Collier County, with intermittent showers all the way up the peninsula.
One of the most notable moments of the ride was passing through Sylvester, GA. After a quick (wth?) Google search, we discovered that the 300 US flags decorating Highway 82 was a collective town effort to elevate the spirits of its citizens during the Covid pandemic. Shortly after that uplifting view, we arrived at the first camp of our September adventure. Chehaw Park & Zoo in Albany, Georgia. The $18 a night fee, for a reasonably well-maintained county park, was well worth the wooded parking spot. We opted out of showers though. Haha. We still have yet to stay in a paved parking lot off the highway, praise the Lord.
Tropical Depression Sally turned into Hurricane Sally and is expected to reach the Louisiana/Alabama coast Tuesday night. It’s been a busy Hurricane season, the likes of which has not been seen since five Atlantic cyclones in 1971 tied the 2020 season for activity. Global warming then and now, I guess.
