As usual, time is flyin'! Our last blog was about a week ago. Where does the time go?
Since we pulled out of Rocky Bayou State Park with our new to us generator, we've hit 4 more parks. Trying to get in a position to start the North trek up the Mississippi River via the Great River Road. That'll require positioning ourselves in the far West side of Mississippi. Really don't feel like going to Baton Rouge or New Orleans. Way too crowded over there so we'll hit the river in SW Ms.
I dug thru our paper maps and found the COE ( Corps of Engineers)map showing all the "hidden" CG's. Of course we use the internet and other sources to pick our stops but paper is good too. The standard site to use is recreation.gov but it's a PIA to maneuver thru it. Imagine that? A .gov site that isn't easy !!!
Camp 82 was River's Edge in Holt, Fl.
Camp 83 was Bluegrass RV in Foley, Al. where we visited with some old friends, John & Lisa Nichol. Haven't seen them for over a decade.
Camp 84 was Magic River in Long Beach, Ms.
Camp 85, today is Pass Christian RV Park in Pass Christian, Ms.
WHEW !!! Gonna sit here thru the Memorial Day weekend. Hoping to install some new goodies in the rig while we're here. I received a vacuum advance for the distributor via Fed Ex today, that will only take a 1/2 hr to changeout. Also have a new "Jack Antenna" to install, that's gonna take awhile. It's supposed to be the newest and greatest ! Time will tell. I hate to punch a hole in the roof but this thing's supposed to be great. Talked to a lot of folks that are using it and they all seemed pretty happy with it.
I've seen a lot of my fellow bloggers are starting to make their moves to escape the down South summer heat. We've been experiencing high 80's and high humidity too. It's caused the AC to be turned on before noon for a few weeks now. Time to escape!! (grin)
My Michigan folks are bragging up the fact that they've been hitting the 70's !! Ooooooo !! Still rather cool in the evening up there though.
We're really missing our Island home in Matlacha. Guess we had too much fun this past winter.
Let's all of us have a safe and fun summer !! We''ll see ya guys in Michigan around about July. (written in jello !)
REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !!
Charlie & Heather.
