Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Hard to believe we've been here a month.  Expect the next two months will go by quickly, too.  We're fine and enjoying our time here.  State park is somewhat full with families this week.  We're told to expect over 200 rigs to check in on January 1st.  That's a pretty big count for a 500 site park.  Monday will be busy for the park!

In the meantime, we're hoping everyone out there is having a great Christmas and New Year's.  We know the weather isn't cooperating with a lot of folks plans, though.  Just be careful. 

Thanks for dropping in and checking on us. Until next year, David

Mid-month Update

New lodge going up at Gulf State Park, AL

Rosemary Dunes Trail
Happy B-Day Beth!

We've been gettin' out and about.  Folks-on-Spokes, Gulf Shores people have arrived, and they've gotten several bicycle rides in.  We've gone out to eat a few times and watched one movie (Wonder).  I've managed to catch a cold and starting to get over it.  We've had a few days below freezing (we only had a couple last season).  We've developed a couple of electrical issues on the way down from Indiana that need to be found and repaired
Middle Lake looking toward the park's Nature Center

before we leave or before the trailer goes dead on us like it did last January.  Normal stuff for a 7 year old trailer, I guess.  We're taking time to go through the trailer and throw out stuff (actually give away or donate) that we're not using.  Trying not to haul stuff we don't need in the trailer.

Pictures are from around the park and mostly from the two new loop trails.  Otherwise, we're fine.  Christmas gettin' close.  Hope everyone has a safe and happy one!  I'll check back in another couple of weeks.  Thanks for dropping by! David
