Well, the weather is starting to clear today - some blue in the sky, peak through of sun at times and not too many threats of showers around - a 20% chance for showers today and tomorrow.
We went out this morning for some more food for the rest of our stay here and now we are sitting outside enjoying the fresh air and the woods. For being sooooo woodsy, there are very few bugs at all! There are however ants - so we bought some ant spray that can be used inside as well as out side and gave the place a good perimeter spraying inside and outside!
We are really enjoying this stay and seeing family. The ball game last nite was fun and although the team our niece is on (the ONLY GIRL) lost, she played a good game - a couple of hits and a couple of tag outs - she plays 2nd base.
Lots of full time RV-ers travel in what they call a 222 pattern - meaning they travel for 2 hours - come in off the road at 2pm and stay in a campground at least 2 days.
We will soon start our 337 pattern - meaning travel up to 3 hours - come in off the road at NLT than 3pm and stay in a campground at least 7 days - upwards to a month.
We will tend to shy away from the woodsy parks as we prefer to be on a cement pad with grass or gravel surrounding the pad and some grass and smaller trees & fields scattered about. We do not feel any comfort with many OLD very tall pine trees lurking directly over our RV.
The length of time for a stay is important in that travelling each day as we have been doing quite often, we have averaged spending $125 - $175 in gas on a daily basis!
YIKES!!!!!! Staying in an RV Park for 7 days to a month brings about a drastic reduction in our gas expense - WOO -HOO!!!!!!!!!!! Additionally the RV rates for weekly stays and longer are discounted from the daily rate. Sooooo all around it saves a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and a lot of milage on the RV. It also gives you the chance to go see things in the area which to us is the whole purpose of living in an Rv full-time. The last thing we want to do is see the USA through our Rv windshield!!
We are getting close to the start of the 337 travel pattern!!!! Double WOO-HOO!!!!
The RV park we are in is quite full for the Memorial Day weekend - although the yellow pine pollen is covering everything - I had never been allergic to it during the 55 years I lived in NE - so I hope that still holds true!!
We are going to a parade tomorrow in the town my sister in law and her family lives and then a cookout at their house.
I wish you all a wonderful fun filled and safe Holiday weekend.
