Looking out the back window of our MobileSuite we see a passenger on my vintage Kawasaki 100.

Treasure Coast RV Resort daily grind...

We have wi-fi here so we have dualling Dells..!

Supper is usually a Bar-B-Que...

And then there is the evening sunset.

All week we've seen warm weather, little wind, peace & quiet.

Here is a quick look at some of the vegetation here in the park.

Tropical I guess you'd call it..

Oh..did I mention the temperature........79* to 82* every day, sunny.

January, 25th..back on the road.

Here we are parked for the night in Fort Pierce at the Flying J.

We use their overnight parking policy often.

It is nice to be warm again..at 6:00pm today it was 71*f here!

January 22nd. David & Ute Czetli drop in for a visit

My buddy Seamo sold me his Honda eu3000i, it was in Mission, Texas.

David & Ute have an RV lot there, so they were kind enough to go out of their way, on a return trip home, to deliver my genereator.

Here we are sharing a little time & talk.

Now that we have our new genny we're ready to Boondock!

January 14th. Cozy & warm inside

Claire & I were a little surprised that it could get as cold as it did here in South Carolina in January.

We saw temps as low as 19*f in the weeee over-night hours.

Daytime temps soared to 48 to 56*f.

We were happy inside, Claire is seen here having a little wine & cheese at 5:45pm.

January 10th, on our lot in Lamar Sc.

It was just before dark as we arrived here.

It is "winter" here too.

It looks a little brown instead of green this time of year.

We got our 5th wheel all fired up, turned on the hot water, and we were home...

January 9th somewhere on the road

Here is a look inside the Volvo as we are cacooned-in for the night.

Tight quarters, but comfy & warm.

It was below zero outside at the time.

January 8th, sunset in the window

Yes, it was nice to be on the road, I celebrate with a cup Tim Hortons.

I do look a little smug don't I...

I will not have another of these for many months!!

January 8th. 2008, We head for NY state via the 1000 Islands Bridge

It was after 3:50pm by the time we made the bridge at exit 661 on the TCH.

It is always a picturesque crossing no matter what time of the year..

Have a look.

January 8th, 2008 & time to leave here...

Well, yes to some this isn't so bad....Claire absolutely loves it here in the winter.

She skiis, and snowshoes almost every day.

I don't so...we packed up the car, head over to the shop, load up the Volvo & hit the road.
