Day 21 - Jan 29 --trip to Okefenokee Swamp, GA

We packed up and left Yemassee, GA and drove 3 hours to Homeland, GA, which borders the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (Swamp).  The RV camp is in the middle of nowhere, and it looks like a whole town/area of mobile homes.  And, a train runs by on a regular basis --oh joy.  Actually, one of the attractions on the Folkston, GA website is the Folkston Funnel.  People actually go to the Folkston train station to watch the trains go by.  That must indicate how much there is to do around here, if that is considered a main attraction. 
   We'll spend a day or two exploring the Wildlife Refuge, and then head over to the coast, an hour away. 
  Peter's is feeling pretty proud of himself, as he set up the water, electric and sewer at this site quite seamlessly.  He is surprised at how well it went, and he keeps being concerned something won't work right.  So far, so good!
  Two things we learned today during the setup.  One--the blue handle that indicates which water inlet gets used, only turns in ONE Direction--not both ways.  We kept trying to force it to go backwards.  Now we don't.  Second--you can actually screw the water hose onto the inlet using our hands, backwards, and don't need the wrench and pliers to get it tight.  And, it doesn't leak, so that tells us we got it right.
   Since we spent the rest of the day here, I spent some time doing an online Intro to Robotics course I found offered for free by the Open University, partnered with various other universities.  So far, it is very interesting --I've always been fascinated by Robots.
