We had our first boondocking or Walmart camping experience on Thursday night. More like Friday morning. It was so hot out we waited till almost 1 am to stop for the night once it finally cooled off a bit. We made it to the Walmart in Athens Tennesse. There were lots of other trucks around and we were able to quickly get to sleep after a long day. We had a quick breakfast with cold coffees and muffins and yogurts before we got back on the road.
This trip we tried something different with the dogs being in the way back and the girls in the middle seat since it could recline. This was not well received by Caitlyn our older dog. She had a rough time getting into the seat, so we decided to go back to having a large section of the middle seat down for her to be able to spread out and not have to climb that little bit to the seat.
Cache, of course, felt he belonged with the girls anyway. And as you can see a tiny bit of Cailyns ear poking over the seat she liked to park her hinney right in the middle of the seat.

We found a really nice rest area. There were a few caches here but we only found the 1 “Southbound Surprise”, which I have listed here. It was just too hot and humid out for Caitlyn. And we did still have quite a way to go.
We made it in pretty late Friday night to the Thousand Trails Orlando. Actually, has a Clermont address. It seemed very nice for the little bit we saw. We parked right next to the laundry/bath house and had quick showers listened to some fireworks from Disney which we couldn’t see and went to sleep. A quick call at 8 am revealed our site was ready at Disneys Fort Wilderness Campground and we did our best to head over and check in.
