Winter Entertainment

[Frank & Kay]

I know many of you are looking for ways to shorten the time between putting your camper away for the winter and getting it back out to begin camping again in the spring.
Our trailer is in a storage facility each winter so we aren't able to work on it, or even look at it during this time. My next best choice is going to HitchItch.com to read the journals of other people who are either fulltiming or snowbirding. I find these journals very informative and interesting and I learn about neat places to go and things to see. Being from the frigid northeast, I might get a little weepy now and then when reading about people soaking in steamy hot tubs at campgrounds in the south, and sitting in the hot sun, while I don't even want to stick my head outside the door because my nose will freeze, but I kind of live vicariously for a couple of months until we once again bring our trailer home and start our own camping adventures.
Interestingly, every spring it's like having a brand new trailer again because it's been so long since we've seen it.
Stay warm all of you in the north, spring will come eventually.
And for the rest of you who are posting your journals from the sunbelt on the internet, please know that some of us are enjoying YOUR travels right along with you.

And then there are those of us who live in the Sunbelt who are presently looking at maps of Pennsylvania (national irv2 in June!) and New York and dreaming about camping in pleasant weather during the coming summer...

SchnoodleMom,
Our youngest son lives and works in Lakeland, we'd originally planned to spend a couple of months down there but it didn't work out. Maybe next Jan/Feb.
DanJenn,
Bring your longjohns if you have any, plus hats, gloves, scarfs, and polarfleece shirts. It is pretty cool up here right now and the mild winter we'd been having has reverted to past winters with lots of snow and cold temps. It certainly is refreshing though, as long as you're dressed properly.
Camping in NY is beautiful during good weather. We have some of everything. Welcome to our state!
