The Snowbirds are swooping already. Took a ride yesterday and the interstates are already filling up with early with Snowbirds!I just couldn't pass up on all the great foreclosure deals down here and finally took the plunge and bought one for the winter months.So I've got you all beat this year! Come on down the weather's fine!:B

Could be because there was a major holiday weekend this week.Enjoy your purchase.

Or...the Farmers' Almanac is calling for a bitterly cold winter!!

The wife called a campground in Redding, CA. was told the gal had been on the phone all morning taking reservations for snowbirders coming down. We both thought it was a little early, but could be making reservations for October and the other later months.We aren't staying at the park since they wanted $55. a night.

Still a lot of good weather left up here, but I do admit I'm getting the itch to move on. Once the days start getting shorter, what's the point hanging around up here in the dark.Would love to buy a place down south like you, but I'm afraid DW would never want to be that far from the kids. Having multiple S&B's is just too much like work.

Must be an early winter this year. | Good Sam Community

Up near the north border we still have a loon on the lake, and no geese to speak of flying overhead. The hummingbirds are gone already and the ferns have all died back.

I'm hoping for a nice long fall given the wet/cold spring and summer we had. Nature has a way of balancing things out.

My neighbor told me it was going to be an early and hard Winter here in the Salt Lake area. He based this on the size of the acorns, says big ones mean cold winter coming. Tonight we'll have snow at the 6500' level. Already see some on the eastern mountains. Hope it holds off until Oct 26 for the Valley, then we're gone.

Dem dair are fighting words. ;)

Fire up the old RV and take a look for yourself so you know first hand. Lake Tahoe area is beautiful even when it's covered in snow.
