readytoride Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nice job Carol and Steve on the We moved from Savannah to Woodbine, GA. A trip of 97 miles and the real feel temp is 97 degrees. Nearly have a stream running off the awning. We'll be here a week. Travel safe everyone. Jeff Hey Jeff and Tina...You are close to the head waters of the Suwannee river...the Okeefenoke swamp. Biggest gators I ever saw there and we lived in Florida 30+ years. It is fun to rent a boat and wander around the swamp!

Wanderin Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 You folks on the east coast need to hunker down for sure. I just saw the tracking on TV and you know those weather folks are never wrong. It might be nasty.

Roger & Lynn Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 They're calling for 18"+ here in Charleston, SC on Saturday. Pulled in about an hour or two ago and when I asked the manager if it floods here all she would tell me is that "this is the Low Country". Got to our site and even now there's mud and standing water. No concrete and grass sites. That's enough for me. We're gonna skip our week here and a week in Savannah, GA that we'd planned. Looks like we'll be spending tomorrow night with Tina & Jeff near Jacksonville, FL. Rather see them anyway! The weather guessers are saying that the farther south we go the rain really tails off. Jeri, we may see you and Terry yet in Pensacola! Quote Roger & Lynn Rempe Class of 2012 & "Class-less"!

Jeri, we may see you and Terry yet in Pensacola! My niece who lives in Charleston says the city has been having trouble with area flooding for the past 10 days. They are getting ready to evacuate as soon as they know what direction to go. My Great Grand Niece in Columbia says they have been having very heavy rains and they have been letting water out of the Resevoir (Lake Murray) as fast as they can to prepare for the storm. She lives in a developement at the lake but is about 4 blocks from the water on a small hill. I got the bed in the Navion remade with fresh linen this morning and did a bit of cleaning in the Hornet. Then loose fried and refroze 2 lbs of Hamburger. Shucks now I don't have an excuse to eat out. Then got the mess I made doing that cleaned up. Other than go to the office and pay my electric bill, I'm done for the day. Jeri does this storm bring back memories of a couple of years ago. I hope those folks headed for Florida have an inflatable boat and life jackets on hand. Ain't I nasty bringing up that at this time. I'll give them something to worry about.

steved44 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 No rain up here in Idaho! We've still got a few fires to put out, so we could use some! Last night there was a fire on the ridge east of us, but we are in town with not too many trees so that's good.

I hope those folks headed for Florida have an inflatable boat and life jackets on hand. Ain't I nasty bringing up that at this time. I'll give them something to worry about. That is true. We discovered that the northwest corner of Florida can be pretty nice most of the time but come mid-December, it can get might wet. We had hoped to be back in Pensacola Sunday or Monday but now are waiting to see if that's even possible. Our route had has going through Charlotte. That's the problem and not Pensacola. Roger -- Smart move. Get down to Jacksonville. You should miss most of it.

hdrider Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Well we hope all you people on the East Coast stay as dry as possible. But we know you all know you are mobile and have no reason or excuse to stay in harms way of something so well announced. Been dry and warm here in Zion National Park for our weeks stay. We will be lifting our jacks and making another move tomorrow, still in Utah but getting close to dropping into Arizona.

heyduke Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 yep it appears SC will get lots of rain, we will get lots here but it sure as heck doesn't make any sense to head south to SC, so guess we will sit tight and see where it really wants to go...

Roger & Lynn Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Just rolled into a CG near Woodbine, GA. It's just north of JAX and out of the rain zone. Glad we left this a.m. cuz I was standing in water past my ankles when I unplugged my electric. A bit unnerving! No rain but, the ground was totally saturated. It quit raining a bit after 10 last night and the real deluge is supposed to start at mid day today and continue till later on Sunday. Charleston already was practically shut down from flooding even before this stuff hit. Gonna toast our good fortune with Tina & Jeff shortly! Quote Roger & Lynn Rempe Class of 2012 & "Class-less"!

IYQ Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Roger; Glad to see your high and dry. Those storms are not the type of excitement I care to partake in. And very glad your didn't light up like a Christmas tree pulling the electric plug in Charleston. I haven't done much yet today except dump the tanks on the Navion. I also made a trip to town to deposit a couple dividend checks which was a very good excuse to stop at Ihop for a waffle for breakfast. The gal that wants my little trailer just stopped by and gave me $100 to hold the little trailer until she can get off work long enough to go to DMV and transfer it to her name. I'm glad to get it out of my responsibility. Now I don't have to worry about another wind storm picking it up and denting the rig beside it like it did in August. I should have used it to sneak up on Steve an steal the ice cream machine. I forgot about that when I was up in the TX panhandle just a few miles from the OK border.

Wanderin Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I remember that well. That's because we were north of Tampa in mid-December . We didn't move south fast enough. This ended up being crisis day. Everything has gone wrong. I think that's always planned just before moving day. It keeps us on our toes. Im sitting in the car waiting for Terry to finish with his last doctor appointment of 2015 .. we hope .. and reading the forum. I was a little jealous to read that the Rempe and Cox kids were getting together and we still aren't in Florida yet.

Sandie & Jim Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I, too, remember that "pool" that Jeri and Terry had outside their rig in Florida. I also think Joe had to wear his rubber boots to get out of his rig to walk the pup.

Calling for sunshine here today and going to the local Rock Shrimp Fest with "the Cox Kids"...life is good! Deep it was, almost Belly deep on my Springer Spaniel. The whole campground was that way, with some high spots under the RV's. However there were a few SKP's around to help keep the mood elevated with "Cranberry Juice", etc. If I remember right, Jim and Sandie, Lynda Sand, Jeri and Teri, and another couple from Texas who's names escape me right now. That was the Winter from HE!! as far as weather went. Later in Yuma I sat through a little rain storm that dumped 2 inches of rain in less than 24 hours and flooded the Park I was in. But it all started with meeting Jeri and Terry in FLORIDA. Joe Quote Joe The "Doghouse" 04 Tiffin Phaeton 40TGH TOAD--2008 Dodge Dakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandsys Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yes, it was the couple from Texas, Lee & MaryJane, that persuaded us all this was a good place to go. My Dave got a bad head cold while we were there, too, so we had a good excuse to stay inside a lot. I think we left about the time the rest of you arrived, though. Mexico Beach--trying to make its own beach right outside our doors.
