An Interesting Blog, The Weather and Research For Trip

DeBary, FL.
31 deg. clear, NW wind @ 2 mph.
Forecast today = high temp. 56 deg. sunny, N. wind @ 10 to 15 mph.

I was reading some of the blogs that I follow this morning and came across one that I found really interesting. It was posted by Nick Russell who writes the Gypsy Journal newspaper and is titled Campers and RVers  Any of you that are planning on going full-timing may want to check it out.

Absolutely nothing exciting happened around here yesterday. Some people who have permanent RVs or Park Models here at the park were out covering up their plants in hopes of protecting them from the freezing temperatures, and of course a few others were out walking their dogs, but other than that, most people stayed inside instead of going out in the very cool weather.

"How cool was it", You ask?  Well, the highest that the thermometer on the shady side of me got up to was 57 deg. and there was a 10 to 15 mph wind blowing, so it felt pretty cold. :-(

What did Jim and Linda do yesterday? Well, Jim was doing more research on this summer's travels and then making modifications to the trip plan that he has made with the Streets and Trips program on the computer. One of things that he looked at was the average temperatures of the areas that we would be in at different times. He soon realized that it would not be good to get too far North too early as it will still be quite cold and some of the camp grounds that we would be staying at wouldn't even be open yet.

So . . . in this case, it was decided that we would spend a little more time in North Carolina and Virginia visiting Mike, Joe and their families so that it would be later in the spring when we got to states like Michigan and Minnesota.

If I know Jim, he'll still be making changes the week before we leave Florida and start heading North. ;-)



Linda read some in her book and did some Family Tree stuff on the computer. For dinner, they just had those micro meals that you heat up in the microwave oven, and then it was TV and reading until bedtime.

A Point to Ponder : Just what was the "Baby On Board" sign for? Did it help us decide which car not to

hit in case of an accident?
