Travel Day | Naples, FL to Yankeetown, FL
ODOMETER: 81,046 | TODAY’S MILES: 240 | MILES TRAVELED: 3,101
by Grant
December 26th is called Boxing Day in Australia, but for us it is moving day. We’re headed to Yankeetown, FL.
It has turned unseasonably cold and we rug up again to take the dogs for a walk. We pack up and get the RV cleaned and ready for our next transit north.
We’re definitely getting into a rhythm with breaking camp and I personally look forward to the travel days. Jana gets a bit stressed as the RV is big and with the Jeep in tow it’s not very maneuverable in tight spaces. At one point, I took a detour because of an accident on 75 and encountered some very unusual traffic configurations that put my RV’ing skills to the test, but we made it.
75 North is a big three-lane highway which gives way to the smaller back roads as we wend our way across to B’s Campground and Marina which is in Yankeetown, FL, on the Withlacoochee River.
We arrive close to dark and the site is not ready so we wait for a little while things get worked out and squeeze our way into our spot.
It’s a small little campground, the people are friendly, and usually on Saturday nights they have bands.
Apparently they have a DJ tonight because it is so cold. This is a cool little spot on the river and has LOTS of character. It promises to be a fun experience and we look forward to exploring tomorrow.

Here is what our second month living on our boat, Hanavave, in Tahiti, French Polynesia, was like.
