Headin' to Florida

We are having our park model set this week and then down we go for the next 6 months. Great to finally be going:

    Where I live in Florida the Jan. average high is 79 and the low is 69. You wont find that in Arizona.



    On the contrary those temps are also common in the Yuma area during the winter season. I expect to be in central Florida, south of Ocala. I recall winters being nice there, too. What I like about southern AZ is lack of humidity and abundant sunshine (sometimes too much. I like to see clouds occasionally). Many folks from northern US and Canada appear to agree as the population swells there during the season.



    And....And....And you can leave your doors and windows open in Yuma and not worry about a houseful of bugs, fly's, and mosquitos


    Yes, that's another point I forgot to bring out. Very few bugs most of the time. I'm not swatting flies or dealing with other creepy crawlies. I can eat outside without being "bugged".

    NOTE TO LUKE: true, morning temps can get pretty low but in a short time the temps are in a good range again. I like low temps at night, anyway....good sleeping weather for me. ;)

    Williston Crossings RV Resort - the only Florida Good Sam 10-10-10 park for 2012.


    Hey congrats; that park has sure made a turn-around and is finally being recognized for it's potential. Previous owners, while nice folks, spent way too much money on "toys" rather than maintaining or even completing the park amenities.

    Enjoy.

  • I'll be joining you in Florida about the middle of this month, barring unforeseen circumstances. I usually winter in Southern AZ but will be visiting friends & family in the Fruitland Park area this year. I've spent winters in Fla before but it's hard to beat the AZ climate in the winter...:C
