THE WEATHER WE LEFT BEHIND

Thursday, December 4, 2008

We drove 442 miles today to arrive in Montgomery, AL. Our goal was a near-by state park but with all the rain we were worried about mud so we looked for an RV park instead.

Found a very nice park and 55 degrees when we arrived in town. Super clean showers, concrete patio, Big fenced-in dog run, lots of room, and only $27.00. We got screwed last night at the KOA south of Louisville for $48.00! I've been asking myself all day today why did I not question that charge. But, it won't happen again. We were the only ones there and they must have had some bills to pay and figured we could just pay for them ourselves.

It did rain all day today, and I mean for all 442 miles.
Gas was $1.75 when I filled up but had I waited it would have been the same $1.55 I paid yesterday. Still only about $60.00 to fill 'er up.

We saw an Oyster Bar 1/4 mile from the RV park entrance on our way in and knew immediately we were going back. Walked the dogs, took quick showers, and drove to the bar.

We temporarily crossed into the Central Time Zone so it was only 5:30 when we made our entrance into the bar. It was happy hour until 6:00. So we got happy! Oysters, shrimp, blackened cat fish, and beer.

We plan to be camping in a State Park on the the Florida Gulf tomorrow. Will let you know what happens. Hey, it's not warm here, and not expected to get warm for awhile. Better than Elkhart, but we still have the space heaters on.

Good night!
