Rained out

We were down in Wauchula, Fl yesterday camping at Thousand Trails, where we are members.  They have 400 sites.  200 are on high ground with full hook ups and 200 are on much lower ground with water and 30 amp electric.  We were planning on staying until Monday but we had two problems.  The first was, we couldn't get CBS there and that means we would watch re-runs of some old shows when the Super Bowl is on.  That is never going to happen.   Yesterday afternoon we had a great linner at a local Italian restaurant.  After we left and headed back home, it started to rain like crazy.  Water was building up all around the RV and we were parked on grass.  We decided we had better get out of there before the RV sinks in the mud.  The RV weighs about 35,000 lbs. and even though it has a lot of neat accessories, one of them isn't 4 wheel drive.  We unhooked the utilities and hitched up the car in the middle of a Florida downpour with no end in sight. We didn't know where to go, so I thought we would try a nice paved Wal Mart parking lot.  Donna didn't like that idea, so instead, we just headed for Lazy Days Campground.  We wound up on a site with full hook ups, a paved site and CBS.

Monday we will go to Bushnell which has an Escapee's (we are also members) park and stay there for about 2 weeks.  We will be baby sitting or should I say bird sitting for our friends Joe and Marcia.  They are flying to Kentucky for a week to take care of a few things concerning their new RV. 

We will be back around our old stomping grunds (Brandon, FL area) for the month of March.
We planned it this way because we have a rental house there, that we thought was going to be vacant and we needed to be in the area to get it re-leased, but I signed a new lease with the tennant today.  We will be heading north on our journey as soon as the weather up there improves.
