IYQ Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I had to dump this morning so as long as I had to leave my site, after dumping I went to Why and had Breakfast at Grandma's. Then refilled the LP tank and got diesel. Then returned to my site. about a 45 mile trip. when I got back I pulled into my site backward so I didn't have to use my ramps to level. All the sites here slope down hill just a little. motorized RVs all slope down hill a bit for stability on the road. By going in backwards they cancel each other out and all is level but the door is on the wrong side. Another fantastic day today but only got one walk in.

Onthego Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Tomorrow we move for the first time in almost 2 months. It's raining again here in south Florida will finish loading the Jeep in the morning. Will meet the other Florida Class Less near Bonita Springs for lunch on our way to Wauchula. The one good thing about being here is it doesn't get cold. The lowest temp. we've seen was Sunday morning at 46 degrees. Most mornings have been from 68-75 degrees. The AC's haven't got much rest so far this winter. You have to run the AC's because of the humidity. I'm sure we'll have some colder mornings when we move north tomorrow.  Travel safe everyone.  GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

IYQ Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Lee, just don't forget which side you're on in the dark and smash your hat bill! I was wondering why the engine was in back. I thought it had turned in to a Diesel Pusher. The weather is still fabulous down here and my walking progam is coming along pretty good. I'm up to a 2.3 MPH average for a 1/2 mile walk. Which may sound slow to you youngsters but aint bad for an old geezer. I'm going to need to make another trip to Ajo soon. I ran out of hamburger and my frozen veggies need something to give them a little taste and protein. Plus another opportunity for breakfast at Grandma's in Why. Two rigs with Low Members I know pulled in beside me last night and a very large group of WINs (Wandering INdividuals) are amassing all around me gettin ready for a tour down to Rocky Point Mexico. All kinds of Singles to yak with.

Onthego Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 We made our move yesterday from Miami to Wauchula. Had lunch near Naples with Jeri, Terry, Jerry and Janice. Sorry John and Sharon couldn't make it. Lots of chatter. We'll see more of Jeri and Terry when they move to Wauchula next week.  We got to our RV Park and got checked in. They have had MEGA amounts of rain. Our spot was slightly uphill and we couldn't back in. The rv just sank in the grass and mud. We tried another sight that was more level and the same thing happened. So they wanted me to drive across one sight to get to the second sight, less than half way across we were done. Stuck in the grass and mud until it dries out in a couple of days. Will probably need help when we try to move. We'll be in this park for a month . Travel safe everyone.  GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

Roger  It's a nice park with paved roads and each sight has a patio but you park on grass. After 2 days of rain (Thursday and Friday) the ground is more than saturated. Cars and pickups are sinking in also. I think one of the guys told me they average less than 2 inches of rain in January and they've had over 12 inches. We can reach hookups where we are so it's not boondocking.  GO BRONCOS!!!!!  Jeff Quote Tina and Jeff Class of 2011 "RV there yet?" 2005 Gulfstream Endura and a 1987 Jeep Wrangler  http://rvtravelswith...a.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IYQ Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I give up making plans. They are sure to be broken before you get anywhere. This morning I PLANNED to have breakfast in Lukeville at the border. It's only 5 miles down there. When I got there I found the restaurant was closing permanently. There was a lady in the kitchen getting it ready to lock the doors. So, I PLANNED to go back north 27 miles to Grandma's at Why. When I got there Grandma's was closed. She use to close on Sunday but changed it to Saturday. Oh well another 10 miles north gets me to Ajo so off to Ajo and finally got breakfast at Marsha's then went to Olson's grocery to stock up on food. While I was there loading up my cart, Cowgirl Margie snuck up behind me. We stood there talking about an hour. When I finally got back to Oragan Pipe it was after 1 PM. I wonder where the days go.

No Steve not here in the Park However a cowgirl from Oregon was held up in Why,AZ for over an hour because they had US 85 blockaded for that sting operation. She is one of the LOWs that was parked next to me. Â Our Fantastic weather is turning nasty for a couple of days. Tonight just before Sun set the wind started blowing pretty strong and the temperature plummeted. NOAH says it will get to 33 tonight and only 56 tomorrow. Then on Tuesday They say 29 at night and only 52 for Tuesday's High. Wednesday is 36 and 55. Then it gets pretty good again for the rest of my stay. I did a lot of cleaning today like polishing the stains off the sinks. I cooked up some more Hamburger which means I had the whole kitchen to de-grease so when I was about as tired as I ever want to be, I ran out of water and had to go to the Dump station to refill the tank. While doing the floors I noticed a dark place in front of the sink. Tomorrow I'll have to get down on my knees with the 409 and micro cloth and scrub it away. I hope I can get back up. I'll keep the phone handy so I can call Steve to come down here and pick me up.

So it must have been the year before you joined us that we had 70 mph gusts. We not only pulled in our slide we repositioned during the night when the wind changed direction so we would be headed into it again. Broadside is NOT fun. Glad you are OK.
