Have been away from internet connections for a few days so going to do a copy/paste from my daily logs..
Day- 12
Interesting day today, it started out in the RV Park in New Orleans with the normal morning walk of the dogs. Left N.O. at 10am and started towards Fl. Park reservations are not until Friday so no rush to get there.
Took a detour to see the Gulf coast of Mississippi that was hit by “K” only to find most of it has been rebuilt but not enough to allow RV overnight stays “yet”. I would have loved staying at one place along the coast. Just to have been able to walk on the beach at sunset. We will stop some other time in the future when things have improved just a little more maybe.
Stopped at a Flying J to refuel and eat, then it was on to a Casino for the night. Or so it was planed. When we arrived at the casino took the dogs for a walk that ended up being a lot longer then planed. A sudden attack of the loose poo, and plans changed. Had to find a Wal-Mart to get some meds, lucky one was just up the road and allows overnight parking. So once again plans are changed. We will be staying at Wal-Mart dry camping tonight. LOL
Hoping to return to the casino area tomorrow and find the beaches, and maybe stay and check out the casino tomorrow night. Time will tell.
Day- 13
Went to bed way to early last night, stayed at a Wal-Mart and did not have any television or internet so went to bed. Problem with that was waking up early 0400am. Dogs had a real early walk then went into Wal-Mart for pet supplies.
Went back to the Casino for breakfast and to play for a few min. (lost $20 in about 30 seconds ) Then went for a walk on one of the beaches that are making a come back. Things are not 100% but looking a lot better then N.O., I say things in Mississippi will be back no later then next year, N.O. on the other hand may still take years if ever..
Back on the road at about 10am headed east to Fl. Left I-10 and taken the us98 along the coast. Just puttering along not sure were the next stop will be, nothing lined up until Friday (day 14) looking as we go. Did check out one State Park in Al. that may be used at a future date, but was full today.
Ended up staying in the Blue Angle RV Park, this is a Federal reserve that can only be used if you are active or retired Federal employee. It does not have cable TV hookup or internet but the price is right and it came along at the right time. So this will be my second night of not being able to update the blog, not that important.
So how do I feel about RV life after two weeks?? I am not sure, some of it I like but there is also a lot I do not like.. I think if I was retired I would like it a lot more then I do knowing I have to live on a boat when not in an RV.. So all in all I still have not reached a finale decision.
Day- 14
Day started out okay, walked the dogs, had breakfast, and took a shower. Things went south when I had a disagreement with my friend. I swear she is getting hard of hearing, because I have had to repeat myself several times more then once, then today I told her something and she not only said I did not tell her she said I only imagined I had said anything. This has caused a bit of a strain. We have not spoken except when we have to, this makes the close quarters in the RV no fun at all..
Moved sites, now staying at a place close to a beach so will see what happens.
I will have to do some thinking on this RV life…. Really not sure it will work for me. So were to go from here??
Still no internet connection so not sure when I will post again.
Day- 15
Cold front moved in and it is cold! Using two sleeping bags and still could not stay warm last night. Tried turning on the furnace, but it does not want to work. So now we do not have a frig, water heater or furnace. Seems to me like that this is becoming more and more like old fashion camping all the time.
Took dog out for morning walk found out Shelby has worms, so will need to get that treated as soon as we can. Because pets are not allowed on the beach I had to bring the dogs back to the RV before taking a long walk on the beach, and exploring some of the back trails. I must have walked at least 15/20 miles today, took over 200 photos, only kept around 30.
Day was not bad but wish we had internet connection so that I could check email and catch up on things. Looking around at the RV’s in this Park, the one I live in is a poor cousin, very, very, poor.
Day like today makes me think this life style could work, but still not convinced it is something I really want to do. I think if I was not still working this work be fine, but living on the boat then RV???? Just not sure how I feel about it at this time.. Then they is the question of how high will the price of gas go???
