Steve and Deb Try to Stay Warm - January 15 - February ?

[Steve Morris]

Deb and I are trying wintering in Florida this year for a few weeks. We couldn't get into state or federal parks in the southern half, due to all the snowbirds who've planned further ahead than us.

 

If you're near where we're staying, drop us a message and maybe we can meet up!

 

Eggs 'N S'mores Rally at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park near Live Oak January 15-20

Blackwater River State Park January 20-26

Fort Pickens January 26-31

A couple of nights at Best Western in Tallahassee to stretch out January 31-February 2

Salt Springs Recreation Area February 2-12

Retro Reno in Jacksonville February 12-13

A four night Carnival Bahamas Cruise for a change of pace February 13-17

 

After that, we'll wander north, with possible stops in Savannah GA and/or Columbia SC, depending on the weather.

Where are you leaving your trailer during your cruise? 

We get this question every year.

We are cruising out of Jacksonville. This past January, we made arrangements with Retro Reno there in Jacksonville to work with CGI as a spot to do our ceramic coating and they'd told us to stop in if we passed that way again. So we contacted them late this summer to see if we could rent a spot.

Since we were last there, they've become Escape and Casita dealers, and built a new shop, so I was concerned that they might not have room. Daniel called me, looked at their schedule, and said they would have room for us. He also offered to have us camp there the night before departure, and he will drive us to and from the ship port to avoid parking at the dock. All at a price I was comfortable with, and only a bit more than the RV/oversized spots at the port.

I was dreading leaving the trailer at the port with the e-bikes on the back and valuables inside! So this was a huge relief for us.

Love Blackwater River.  I'm heading down to Mobile for the holiday and was thinking of staying a few nights there on the way home.  Looks like there are some sites at Ft. Pickens between Christmas and New Year as well...  🤔

Jealous of your cruise, a warm beach would be nice right about now!
