We de-winterized the pod, packed-up and headed to High Falls state park about 70 miles south of us on Wednesday for our first trip of the year. The first two days were miserable, a high of 50 degrees and 25-30 mile an hour winds. We were planning to come home on Friday but since Friday and Saturday were supposed to be nice we decided to stay an extra night. Glad we did. It was mid 70's with no wind. Wonderful weather. The park is really beautiful with a gorgeous waterfall and nice hiking trails. And to make Friday perfect I walked over to the river (right behind our campsite) made a few casts and caught a nice 2 to 2 1/2 pound bass. Can anyone say...dinner. Yum. We wanted to stay another day but life was calling and we had to head home.

Even more jealousy here...about 10 degrees colder and snow on the way in the wee hours of the night.
 
It's hard to immagine right now, but we are planning our first camping trip for a month from now: Earth Day weekend, April 19-21.

Rain and upper 30's has to be some of the worst weather. I'd rather have snow. Then again, I'm not happy if it goes below 70.

We're planning on heading down to Florida (Daytona area) the first week of April. Should be beautiful weather.

Hopefully so-  Right now we are in the typical late winter pattern-  Nice weather before the front, cold rain
during its passage, cool, damp and cloudy giving way to nice weather, repeat.

Today, the first day of Spring, revives our hopes and spirits!!

Still snowy here. Very unusual here for this time of year. 50 plus degree weather on the way next week. Maiden voyage still planned for 2 weeks from now. It has to warm up soon Wink

Burr, that looks way to cold. It's still cold here and supposed to be down in the upper 20's the next three nights. Guess I'll have to re-winterize the pod.

We have had the crappy cold, snowy weather as well here in SW Ohio. We take our first trip in our 178 this Friday! Headed to Port Richey, Fl. Temps expected to be in the mid to high 70 range! Can't wait!

Just returned from our first trip of the year to Cape Disappointment in Washington State. Lewis and Clark may have been disappointed there, but the weather was fine for us. Also, never visit the Cottage Bakery in Long Beach, WA. It's just terrible for your waistline!
