1980 Bluebird Wanderlodge

Wanderlodge is a high end brand of Class A motorhome recreational vehicle that was built by Blue Bird Body Company now Blue Bird Corporation in Fort Valley, Georgia, from about 1963 until 2009. Production started with a 31-foot (9.4 m) gas powered forward control (front engine) model and expanded to include larger diesel engine powered pusher (rear engine) models up to 43 feet (13 m) in length. They remain highly prized by their owners[1] and have an extensive service network.[2] For many years the Wanderlodge was in a separate class of motorhomes along with other premium brands like Prevost and Newell. Pricing of these RVs, from the 1960s until now, has been comparable with pricing of a medium-sized house. The Wanderlodge was sold around the world to celebrities, dignitaries, and heads of state. Notable owners[3] include the former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, country music superstar Johnny Cash, and King Hussein of Jordan, among others. Features of the Wanderlodge that were unique when introduced included a built-in safe, redundant heating and hot water systems that used electricity, engine heat or diesel, and fuel tanks offering range in excess of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi).

déjà vu

Last year when we stayed at the New Green Acres RV Park, for one night, the guy next to us had a leak in a water pipe. He was from New Hampshire. He called a local guy. This year, when we pull into the New Green Acres RV Park, we find we have a split water pipe and a cracked fitting. Jim just happened to have the card from the man a year ago that helped our neighbor. Jim calls him, and related the story of last year to him. He remembered him! He will be here tomorrow morning at 8:30. So, we have no water in the meantime. Camping in its truest form.

New Green Acres RV Park, SC

Last year, we arrived at this park on Valentine's Day. It was really our first real RV Park in this new lifestyle. We had stayed in PA for an overnight at an RV park, then stopped in Richmond and stayed at a friends house. From there we blew thru NC, and landed here. The post from last year on this Campground is located here. I think tonight we will have Wings...but the tuna melt doesn't sound bad either :)

We purchased a few scatter rugs at Kohl's before we left for the road. They really make it more cozy.

Jim got talking to the couple next to us, and they are from Ravena. They just bought this coach, after selling their previous one. They bought it in Glenville, NY. They appear to be about 85 years old..or maybe 90. They have 2 poodles, and we were saying "that is gonna be us....". Remember to leave a comment if you wish, we are having some fun in our comments. I told the ladies here in the office about this blog, and they left a comment in the thread "Heading to North Carolina".
