Jacqueline’s Jaunts

25 May 2025, St. Augustine Beach KOA, St. Augustine, Florida  to Albany RV Resort, Albany, Georgia I cannot believe this day has come. It came so fast. We said our goodbyes to Jan & Ken this morning.

This park has 421 sites and the back is the newer section. Barry went to turn in the key card to the gate and found out the original homesteaders, Tompkins, are buried there. I decided to take a field trip and drive to see it. We walked past it last night but didn’t see it since it was dark.  The small circle on the left is our campsite. The larger circle on the right is the cemetery. On the drive today to Louisiana, I checked Find A Grave and found the information for this cemetery, starting with Memorial ID: 53815860.
