I lift my coffee mug to you guys this morning... " May you find dry roads with light tail winds for the rest of your journey." Tampajohn, you and Scrubjay, stay safe out there.

Thanks Redtail. We are going to stay a couple days extra at Lake Whitney with plans on leaving Thursday. No since in rushing it, we have til Christmas to get to Los Angeles. Maybe the roads will clear up by Thursday. Nice campground, but too cold to do much outside. Especially for us Floridians. LOL

wow!! That's some memories you will be taking home! Snow and ice, cold outside (and inside?). Turning broadside ...

Just as a suggestion for next year that you might want to consider. DW and I spent the week camping at Saint Augustine, FL. The temperature dropped down to around 70 degrees at night and was in the 80's during the day - nothing unusual but pleasant none-the-less. Did all the tourist things and DW loved the shopping.

I know - just kidding

- you can do that at any time, and that kind of stuff is not as exciting as what y'all are experiencing now, but DW and I are too old to have to melt the ice off in order to close the TM these days.

Stay young and have a safe trip!

Left Ft Worth this morning, dry roads all the way to Monroeville, Al. We're camping in the motel for this trip. Did check out a new CG to us at Lake Benbrooke. It's called Mustang Point. Drove through yesterday morning and all sites had a sheet of ice on them. Its dry camping but they do have showers which Rocky Creek doesn't. Rocky Creek is closed until further notice according to the ACOE website.

The weather guessers are calling for a rain/sleet mix (60%) tomorrow and snow /sleet mix tomorrow night. Last time we saw anything like that was 26 years ago here in FL.

We are in Sun City, California and 10 degrees warmer than normal. I am not going home to Sun City Center, Florida until it quits snowing, April 1st. LOL

I was told if you move to Florida, and end up north of I-4, you wasted the move. The freeze line in winter most years is about where I-4 crosses the state.

And yet I'd bet that the humidity level in the summer time is still only 110%

Nah! It only gets that high if you count the lovebugs in as humidity.
