We have also been in that position....learn from it and try again ! My hubby is retired LEO, 30 years...and it is hard to leave that in the past. We volunteed and workcamped for our 9 years of fulltiming. At the end....we were trying to figure out how to have a campground with no campers :)

Haa! I read that last line to my DW and we both had a good laugh. But in reality, the campers were fun to interact with since my experience was with the public in my working years. And it was pure pleasure experiencing the "Southern Hospitality" of the area. It's hard to put down the CFRs in my head and act normal, but I doubt that will every dissolve. The idea was to save $ this summer to help supplement our rent through the winters and enjoy some new culture and scenery near the water. (addicted to fishing). I think next summer we will be looking into something similar in Arkansas around Greer's Ferry. We have grandkids in Bentonville, Ar., so that will be an added bonus to the trip.

I suppose I won't really be retired until I quit working completely and get serious about chasing fish.

Yes,For sure Check out the CEO campgrounds around Rogers, AR (next door to Bentonville).

We live within a mile of Greers Ferry Lake and it is quite a drive to Rogers Bentonville area,

We never camp on Greers Ferry, we go to Rogers, AR area to site see and check out the craft shows and other things.

I guess we just don't like camping in our back yard, plus the trip is half the fun, the reason we bought a motor home in place of trailer.

but like I said it is a long drive to Rogers area and they have a lot of good campgrounds to camp in.
