Rain and thunderstorms were forecast
for Sunday at the destination for the first day near Pensacola, FL,
so the executive decision was made to postpone our exit until Monday.
The Southern Oaks RV park, conveniently located next door to Camping
World, was very accommodating in the plan change and also had a very
discounted Passport America rate for the 3 day stay! This will again
be a destination for the return trip.
The Toad was hooked up, signals
checked, break off and dog pottied before an exit could be made.
Kevin did not want to make the GPS
suggested U-turn so instead a right turn was made down a very narrow
country road with low branches that scraped the roof of the RV and a
tight right turn to get back on a major highway again. After all GPS
turns are just a suggestion right?
The morning's weather examination
revealed a small line of T-showers intersected the route to
Pensacola, so the plan was to stay on the freeways rather than take
the scenic route. As Tallahassee was in reach the showers hit,
luckily the downpour was not that severe nor did it last long. The
rain let up as Central time zone was entered and the destination was
a bit south off the I10.
Reservations were made for Camp Gulf RVResort 3rd row from the beach in Miramar Beach, FL. The
beach traffic was hopping as the rig was pulled into the resort and
escorted to a site with a prime view of the beach and sounds of the
lapping waves. Full hook up for the next 4 days means walks in the
sand and views of sunsets over the water. Well at least for the
first night.
A cold front moved in over night with
lows in the 40's and highs expected only in the high 50's as well as
rain, rain and more rain! So much for the sand play.
The internet has been spotty with
everyone hunkered down out of the rain browsing the internet and
downloading movies. So we hooked up the Mifi so we could get some
work done while we wait for the temp to reach the high for day and
the rain to let up so a beach walk is possible.
Tomorrow promises sunshine with a high
in the 60's.
