Driving day. We left Suwannee and drove a couple hours SE to 3 Flags RV Park in Wildwood, FL. We got in pretty early because it was only about a two hour drive so we went to Camping World nearby to find out it closed about 15 minutes prior to our arrival. It must have something to do with it being Sunday and the entire region being infested with Baptists. One of the guys in a park we stayed in told us that “Most religious folks believe that God created the earth but, actually, Baptists created the earth and merely hired God as a figurehead.”
Having failed at Camping World, we went to a local Scab-Mart and stocked up on stuff for the trailer. This chain (Wal-Mart) does, indeed, have some of the strangest looking folks inside their facilities and a great deal of them work for the store. The store is located in a part of Florida known as “The Villages” which we would call “The Various Housing Developments” in CA. There is no town, per se, called “The Villages” but big tracts with names like “Davenport,” “Garden Terraces” or “Golfing Hellhole” but the state refers to the area collectively as Oxford. Many Republicans inhabit the area.
