What are your winter plans?

Postby chalet05 » Thu Sep 29, 2016 8:00 am

Always fun to see where everyone will be!

SS Toy Run in Clearwater, FL Nov. 12. November 13, I have 3 weeks at Thousand Trails near Orlando. Then 2 weeks at State Parks that Liz posted about. Probably start toward Texas after that. I have promised myself I will sit tight and work on quilt projects and genealogy this winter.

On edit: After reading JudyJB's post, I made some changes in my plans to include Ortona South and Midway over the Christmas/New Year's holidays.

I'll see you in Florida in December! I'll be there until the weather starts to warm up, usually mid-March. Then traveling in the East next year.

Probably heading to FL this winter for awhile before coming back to Ohio mid Feb to earn some more traveling money for a month or two.

I am having so much fun at dog classes with Drew that I'm thinking of getting the club's annual pass and playing with dogs all winter. :D If I do that, I'll spend a few weeks in FL at G's, and probably be in Massachusetts for Patriot's Day in April.

So much still up in the air for me. I wanted to go with Carol and The Driver to Mexico this winter, but while it's still a slim possibility, it keeps getting slimmer. Right now I'm having some problems mainly related to the propane - furnace not working right now, for example - that have to get fixed before I finalize anything. I want to head to Pat's from here, then was hopefully going to go to WI for a few days to visit my sister. Both of those are on very iffy status - if the furnace gets fixed and the weather is doable, they'll go back in my plans. From there - furnace or not, I'll head south. Texas probably for about a month - gives me time to get my broken tooth fixed. I'll be staying way south. Then, if no Mexico, I'll meander in southern New Mexico for awhile, then head to Arizona. I do not plan to work this winter - so lots of inexpensive staying and boondocking are in my future. Hopefully I'll get to Q during the show and be able to see lots of friends there.

I'll be coming back to SD mid-April.

Ft CLinch and Keys in October. St. Lucie Lock and Dam, Sebastian Inlet, And WP Franklin in November. December will be Midway, Ortona South Lock and Dam, and then Myakka before Christmas.

January will be Silver SPrings, Gamble Rogers, and Jonathan Dickinson. February will be Ortona South Lock an Dam, back to Midway, then a few days in Highland Hammocks, and Silver Springs, ending up at Hillsborough for the GTG. March will be Topsail briefly, then St. Andrews, and Grayton, and on to Eastbank COE at Lake Seminole, and finally back east to Stephen C Foster SP in Georgia, and on to Charleston and Savannah in April.

Whew!!

Some of our friends are working their way West to Arizona and I can't go. :( The Louisiana Bells are camping at Toledo Bend Lake October 20th. I should be able to make that. Their Christmas Party campout is the first of December and I am signed up for that. There is some serious decorating that goes on for the Christmas campout but not by me. I signed up for the Florida GTG at Hillsborough River the end of February. I sure hope I can make that GTG.

There is campout in Ruston, La in November but I don't think I want to drive to North Louisiana. If that's the only thing I can go to I might have to go.

Donna, you are never "homeless" when you have an RV. :D

I will be in Phoenix this winter and beyond, but plan to go to Q in January for at least a few days. Otherwise, just exploring Arizona on my days off or relaxing by the pool! Would like to take a 3 day trip over to San Diego if I can this winter too. I need my ocean fix! :lol:

I am planning on heading south also this winter. I really want to go to Quartzsite and Yuma and then not sure where to go. So other than that my plans are total jello. Looking forward to hanging with the Q gang.
