I don't care if it snows , blows, or rains. I am going to de winterize the pod this weekend. In southern Indiana I think we will be ok. I am ready to pull out, even if its only a one nighter. We are having evenings in the 50's and days in the 70's and think its time to go.

Mine's coming out of hibernation this weekend.  I was scheduled to be camping this weekend but had to put it off a week.  This will be the second awakening for my pod this year.  We took it to the Smokies in February for some cold weather camping.  I am ready to hit the road!

Here in Portland,OR., the weather has moderated and even stopped raining.  We dewinterized 2 weeks ago and yesterday I removed the cover.  Sunday the Pod gets a bath and the following Thursday we head out for a week to a southern Oregon beach.  Wahoo!!  Safe Travels.

Dewinterized last weekend here in MD.  First trip is next weekend at Castaways.  This will be our inaugural trip in our 182g that we bought in January.

Have fun at Castaways!  It was our favorite campground when it was still Eagle's Nest.  We went a few times after the conversion but with so many other places we want to go we haven't been there in a while.

Haven't dewinterized yet here in Eastern Washington. It was 21 degrees a couple of nights ago. We did take our first trip of the season though.  We spent a couple of nights at Steamboat Rock State Park on Banks lake. Enjoyed lots of hiking, especially in Northrup Canyon.  No kayaking this time though. It was too cold and windy for that. 

The Pod did well. Can hardly wait until next time.

So I probably shouldn't be saying that we have been out 4 times this year already, including this weekend with what I consider perfect camping weather on Saturday and today with pure sunshine, high 60's and lows around 50?  Smile

That's right, you shouldn't say that.
