2026 Summer Road Trip – A Stone’s Throw RV Park – 6/17/2026

The grand kids and I departed for Indiana to see the Great Grandparents today at 1:00PM. We stopped for fuel at a Love’s Travel Stop in Lee, FL, but none of their truck pumps seemed to be working and we had to go across the street to a Sunoco with the world’s slowest diesel pumps and pay about $0.30/gal extra.

We pulled into A Stone’s Throw RV Park (just East of Tallahassee) at 5:35 PM EDT (271 miles). This is a convenient place to stop along I-10 (where US-19 intersects I-10). We’ve stopped here on three other occasions (2020, 2021, and 2025).

We set the camper up and commenced nuking Hot Pockets for supper. Now none of us has any skin on the roof of our mouths. The kids claim they’ve never had them before and loved them. After eating the kids headed outside to terrorize the community. I told them to come back in when the street lights come on. Penny Crane, the lawyer, asked if that meant they could go anywhere they want including up to the gas station. I handed her the GPS tracker and said, “sure”. I gave her $20 and said each child could get a treat as long as each was under $5. They came back with close to $4 in change, so they did well. I felt like it would be a good little experiment in finding their way around and purchasing things on their own, but I was nervous as a mother hen the entire time they were gone.
