Let's see how much I can remember.
First, here is a photo of the passenger window with the lovely cardboard. This is how they filled the holes when the windows were removed.
Our windows are in and they look fantastic. We are very pleased with the job these guys did. On top of it the cost was $200 less than the price they quoted. Free camping and lower price, can't complain about that! Below is a video of the finished project.
With the new windows and the clean rig. We have had two people ask if it was new. If they would have looked closer they would have seen the dings and scratches. But it is shaping up nicely. Very shiney and clean. Herb fixes something everyday. Today the ice maker is working and he fixed the passenger side rear view mirror.
We left Sunday morning (after the frost melted off of the car!) and headed for our reservation at Frog Creek. It was sad to leave Bud and Ann. They were headed for Disney. When we go to Ft Myers Beach in March their campgrounds will be across the street from ours. We got to talking to them about Alaska. They took a motorhome there about ten years ago. They said it was an adventure. Guess what, we are thinking about doing this next summer (2012). Who's up to coming with? Phil & Diane, this gives you plenty of time to get ready!
We were using the gps on Sunday. That thing may find it's way into the Gulf of Mexico. It kept wanting us to get off the expressway and take a highway with stop lights. No matter what I did I couldn't make it stop. This place is not easy to get to. So when we go shopping we need it. Will have to wait to put it out of my misery.
This place looks really cool! There is moss hanging all over. I'll get you pictures tomorrow. After we got the rig parked, about 1 PM, we needed to get ready for the big game. Found out that the clubhouse had a big screen TV and there would be an ice cream social there at 3 pm, when the game started. For those of you who know me know that this is heaven for me! We watched the first quarter there while eating ice cream. Chairs weren't too comfortable, plus there was a Bear's fan there, so we left. Just can't believe they won. I had to walk away for the last minute and balled like a baby when they did it!! My brother Dave and some of his family were at the game. Wondering where we will be for the Super Bowl.
Went to Lowes today for a little gas grill. We will be bbq'ing tomorrow. Also went to the laundromat today. Now there's a highlight! $9 to do three loads of clothes. There is supposed to be an orchard near by. May go there tomorrow for strawberries, oranges and fresh squeezed juice. The weather today was very nice. Not too warm and not too cool. We are expecting thunder storms tomorrow night. That should be fun. The animals won't like it though.
There are itty bitty little sand burrs here. OMG are they sharp! I can't even tell you how many I've stepped on with my bear feet. It's like stepping on a needle. Max had one stuck in his paw yesterday. Oh, this place is on a very cool little creek (hence the name Frog Creek). There are warning signs about alligators. I spoke with someone on Sunday and he said that they aren't here in the winter. Happy about that one.
We have our reservation for February. Not up to moving every couple of weeks so we booked for a month. We are going down to the Keys. I figure next year we may not be coming to Florida and even if we do we will probably stay in one place the whole time. You save money by doing it that way. So we are splurging this time.
Here's a picture of Max for Mary!
Ohhh how cute is Max in the video... "Whatcha doin out there, Mamma?"
ReplyDeleteYour rig looks SO NICE with the repaired windows in there.. it really makes a difference to have that snakey stuff gone.
That is one thing we REALLY love about our Safaris are the HUGE windows that let in the light. We stand and look around from the inside and it's almost all windows, very little wall space... except for the area above the counters, that is about all the wall there is.
Excited to see where you are going next!
