I would have hated to be the RV in front of the dump station!

We had a good trip to Florida. Crooked river state park (GA) was beautiful but the no-see-ums were terrible. Spent most of the time in the pod. If we went out we had to wear long pants, long sleeved shirts, hats, gloves and face protection(it was 80+ degrees out).
We stayed at our first commercial campground in Daytona. Luckily we only needed 30 amps so we got 'stuck' way in a back corner by ourselves. The rest of the campground was packed so tight I was surprised that some of RVs could extend their slideouts. The bathrooms were disgusting so I had to learn to shower in the pod. The oxygenics shower head is great, by the way. When we were leaving we found that the only dump station was about 2 feet from another RVs front door. YUCK.
Our final night was at the KOA south of Savannah. It was very nice, clean and expensive. $43 a night. Wish we could have spent a few days there but had to get home. An added inducement was a Scottish pub/restaurant just down the road. Ok food and over 100 single malts. Broke the bank that night.

I do love a good bakery. Fortunately, there aren't any around us.
Winterized the POD on Monday and will de-winterize it again on Friday. Hopefully, for the last time this year.

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!

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!

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.

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!!
