Our weekend began at Tanner Williams Holiness Church on Friday morning as we prepared to crank the BoggsMobile and drive east toward Georgia. As I was unhooking the water and electricity, Bro. Donnie and Sis. Gayla drove up so we had a great conversation with them while saying goodbye. We surely love the Apostle and the Epistle.
Then we cranked the BoggsMobile, drove to the upper parking lot and hooked up the Jeep. We were ready to roll.
The first leg of our journey was mighty slow working our way through Mobile, then under and across Mobile Bay.
We stopped at Love's in Loxley, Alabama to do the work of the evangelist. Leaving Love's, we were 90 minutes into our journey and had traveled only 45 miles.
For my own records, the dump station at the Loxely Love's is tight, but doable IF the parking lot is not too full.
The next 165 miles melted under our wheels and by 2:00 PM, we were pulling into Love's in Cottondale, Florida for the night. We considered resting a while and then finishing the trip, but we had enough excitement for one day.
We had a quiet night nestled among the trucks, except for some high winds at one point. The wind advisory forecast guessed a little low in my estimation, but it passed in a couple of hours.
Saturday morning we cranked up, fueled up and hit the road. This was our first time filling up since diesel prices have jumped radically. Wow! I am willing to pay a little extra to starve Mr. Putin's cash box, but we need to turn on the USA oil spigot to relieve the pressure.
The last 70 miles to Colquitt, Georgia was mostly non-interstate, but we took our time, moseying along Saturday morning. We arrived before noon, unloaded our equipment, parked and hooked up the electric.
After setting up our sound, we spent most of the rest of the day decompressing from both campmeeting and traveling. The weather was cool, so staying inside reading and resting was easy.
This is our first visit to Mt. Olive Holiness Church in Colquitt and we are super glad to be here with Pastor John Prickett and these great folks. Both services were great and Odie captured some great pictures too.
We should have many more pictures on Friday. Thank you for spending a few minutes with us today.
