Mid-March Update


We're fine & currently at Stone Mountain State Park visiting Doug and Elizabeth. Steve & Susan made it down to visit with us and other friends before we left Gulf Shores. They were able to experience those below-freezing temps while they were here. We left Gulf Shores March 1st with stops in Tallahassee, FL (Randy & Shirley), Mt Dora, FL (Dave & Mary) before arriving here in Stone Mountain.  

An unusual experience for us: From Florida to here we made an overnight stop at an automated RV park in Tifton, GA (Tifton Overnight RV). It was a great experience for us as the park is all full hook-up sites, well maintained, and the gate codes worked (big item for me). If you're fully self-contained and don't need restrooms or showers, we recommend this park for an overnight stop when traveling I-75.

Back to Stone Mountain: We survived the latest round of severe weather over this past weekend. Our trend of experiencing severe weather that arrives overnight and is slightly worse than expected has continued. Unusual for all the years we've been full-timing.

Summer plans: We've heard from Grand Teton National Park. We still plan to volunteer at the LSR Preserve just as we did last year.  Arrival & departure dates to be determined, but they have our input for those dates. We'll volunteer three days per week though the exact days of the week we will work are to be determined, too.  Total staffing isn't totally hired, yet, nor is it known just who all the volunteers will be.

Current plans are to leave Stone Mountain Thursday and travel to High Point, NC for the weekend before moving on to Virginia.  We expect to be in Virginia for three weeks and then travel to the Elkhart, IN area for  a total of two weeks "visiting" various service centers. We plan a quick visit to South Dakota before moving on to Grand Teton.

That gets you up to date as of this evening.  Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us! David
