We moved to Beaver Run RV Park in Metter, Georgia. Not sure if I found the place on Google, Hipcamp or The Dyrt – but these are the main ways I find places to stay. This is where we found out that “Everything’s Better and Metter”. Metter was a quiet and quaint place. We learnt that it is harder to get things that you need when you are remote. The grocery store was far away, and we decided to use the fridge that was in the car for our grocery shopping. That way, a long trip kept our groceries fresh. It was also hard to find food at a restaurant or even fast food if you didn’t want to cook. We also decided that our bathroom tent was too difficult for Herb to get in and out of, and it was difficult to set up.

We were able to get rid of more stuff in this location, and then Herb decided that if we had a pickup truck, we could use the truck to store more things, and therefore, there would be less for me to have to pack and unpack at each location. Since we had just purchased the Toyota 4Runner, I was not open to getting a new vehicle; however, the idea of having less work was appealing. Herb was told that if he could get an equal trade for our vehicle, he could get a pickup truck.

In typical husband style, Herb found a perfect pickup truck for us, and the trade was made. We were struggling to figure out how to get the tag, title and registration for out of state, and there were some hiccups with that. At this time, Herb also started looking to trade our trailer in for a larger toy hauler. He found a person willing to make this trade in Florida. At that point, we decided to return to Florida to meet this guy in Jacksonville and upgrade to a slightly larger trailer.

The RV park was lovely and the people that lived there were very nice. I did feel uncomfortable at times since we had a very large tandem gazelle gazebo (156″ x 86″) behind us set up with all our totes in it. We had four very large totes, four large totes, four medium size totes and four smaller weatherproof totes full of belongings. We also had several camping chairs folded down, we had several camping tables folded down, we had a propane stove and a fire pit. We have a large generator. The totes were full and heavy. Once we were able to put stuff inside the truck, that really helped a lot. They’re also kids that lived at the RV park that helped us with an awning and some other things that we realize very quickly we were really struggling to do on our own. The idea of having these things were really great but the application of actually using them were really hard for both Herb and for myself. I was uncomfortable with this large gazebo behind our trailer because I did not fully know it was part of the rules or not plus, we had a catio set up for the cat and the shower tent area. Although we had all of the stuff set up, most of the time it was still too hot to use the outside area and we spent most of our time indoors.
