SouthernCharmed's Pets
We are very blessed to have Huckleberry our 11 year old Basset Hound. He is very friendly with children, adults, and other pets. Rosie is in voluntarily servitude to two cats that roam the property and our home.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
Just getting started but very interested in visiting Big Mike in Homerville, Georgia.
SouthernCharmed's Hometown
We both grew up in Southern California but Bob's military career has moved us around the US and Bob around the world. We have lived in southwestern Georgia for nine years now. We are surrounded by mostly agricultural acreage yielding peanuts, cotton, corn, pecan, and pine. Americus to our northeast is the sleepy town waking up. It's very apparent that the city managers are very interested in drawing in the tourist traffic. They have recently begun hosting monthly "First Friday" events offering diverse attractions. This last Christmas season Americus has been our destination for holiday socialization. At about twenty miles south, Albany, Georgia is the closest "metropolitan" area but is lacking in a cohesive organized central core to attract much tourist attention. I've heard from many sources that for whatever reasoning this is the desired outcome of the Albany leadership. There is hope though. The last few years has witnessed the arrival a few more big name eating establishments and December saw the opening of a brand new brewpub in the downtown district.

SouthernCharmed's Rig
Rig Type: Class A
37 feet long
2015 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 36LA (gasoline engine powered) flat towing a 2015 Ford Edge. Two driver side slides. If we cannot connect to "shore power" providing at 30 amps in very warm or hot climates or 15 amp for cooler climes our residential refrigerator requires us to occasionally run our generator for a while to keep batteries charged. Our OEM Onan generator is considered quiet by most standards not like a bargain priced utility unit purchased at a big box store. Having a towed vehicle we cannot move in reverse without removing our vehicle in tow. Turning any coach and towed vehicle around requires a much larger distance than just about any other RV. "Three point turns" are out of the question.

Huckleberry
Just hosted our first guest with BW. Great experience with our guests. Lots of great conversation and made new friends. The best part was Huckleberry the basset hound. Hope to meet up again in the future. Thanks for visiting with us.

Perfectly Magical Night
Awesome and friendly hosts who made us feel at home... including our big dog Sophie. Many thanks to Huckleberry the Bassett Hound... he is such a friendly, sweet, and adorable guy who allowed Sophie to share his people and place for the evening. Enjoyed socializing and sharing stories with SouthernCharmed and even got a tour of their magnificent coach. When it got dark the night sky was beautiful. Parking was super easy for us and we were afforded the opportunity to select the spot to park... nice! We highly recommend stopping by and paying SouthernCharmed a visit... the name says it all.
