Travel Plans Update

It has been confirmed we will be going to Florida in January for 3 months. We will be camp hosting at Ocala National Forest in Florida. We are looking forward to hooking up with friends we have in Florida that we have not seen in a while. We are planning our route and updated our GPS . Had to end up updating it at my niece's house while we where there for Thanksgiving in Corpus Christi.  The wifi in the park that we are at works sometimes with a weak signal at best and we can see the antenna on the bath house and still can not get a signal most of the time.

We have been looking into buying a Wifi repeater for the RV to help with weak campground Wifi signals. Not sure at this point what we need or want. We have been looking at a few systems and reading some of the reviews to see what others are having good luck with. Would like to find one with a our door antenna.  In the meantime if you have something that is working for you feel free to drop us a line . Will post updates as soon as we have something that's work.

Change in Travel Plans

Looks like we may have a possible  change in our travel plans.  But thats what RVing is all about you never  know where you might end up. We where planning on going to Arizona after we finished up in Texas but now might be headed to Florida. We where contacted by a State Park in Florida  looking for camp host. We will know for sure on Monday.  If we decide to to go we will be in Florida until the end of March and then headed  back to Janes Island State Park in Maryland for the summer. Will upate as soon as we know for sure.

Lake Corpus Christi update

Not anything exciting  happening the last few days. We are settling  into to our new Camp Host gig at Lake Corpus Christi State Park.  We have been spending the last two days painting some new park signs and learning our way around the park. This is a really  nice park with a great view of the lake.

We have been able to do a little sight seeing in and around the Corpus Christi  area. We took a ride on Ocean Drive , it has a great view of the Gulf of Mexico.  Hoping  to do a lot more  in the next few weeks. Maybe diesel fuel  prices will keep coming down today we payed $2.04 a gallon and we can do a lot more sight seeing.  But for now got to get back to painting signs.

A Day of Rest

Today we finally got the have a day of rest and just hang out at the camp site. We are having some great weather but looks like that may change tomorrow they are calling for rain. While sitting out side I saw this rather large ant hill, after asking around I found out that they are Fire Ants and they are nasty.  Not. going to sit near them again.

The view of the Lake from the camp sites are really nice and the park has a great day use area with tables and shelters. A great place to spend the day and have a picnic. Now if we could only get a good WiFi connection.

Dead Batteries

Yesterday morning after getting breakfast we where going to run a few errands got in the truck and nothing but a clicking sound when I tuned the key. Called road side service and they where here in about 1 hout. Jumpstart  and we where off to the repair shop. Long story short we needed 2 new batteries ( Ford Diesel )and had the charging  system tested

About a month and a half ago we lost our little dog of 17 years. On the way to dinner after getting the truck fixed Gwen somehow talked me into stopping in a local pet shelter and we ended up coming home with a rescue puppy. It is a 10 week old female   Chihuahua mix. She is full of life and going to take a bit of getting used to. It is keeping us busy.

Lake Corpus Christi State Park

After a ruff few days we are at Lake Corpus Christi State Park  TX. The park we where camp hosting at was flooded out two days after we arived.  We decided  not the return because of all the water damage. All the electric boxes where under water and we did not want to hook out camper back up and have something go wrong even though  the  park said it would be back  up and running in a few day.  Do not think they where planning on changing  any of the boxes just drying them out.

On a much happier note we are camping at a really nice park just out side of Corpus Christi.  Have a great view of the lake from our site.  There is a good chance that we might be here until the end of December. Will will know in a few days. We are looking forward to checking out the area.
