Where you going this Winter?

[Us_out_West]

Yup we are already thinking about joining our friends down at our Winter digs and it's really not to early to think about it. With that we are still getting out camping locally with friends over the Summer and enjoying times with friends here in Reno.

After traveling years in the SW we have settled into the Casa Grande, AZ area and now about 11 miles South on I-10 in Eloy, AZ in particular.

We'll be at the Silverado RV Resort again this Winter.

The area has so much history, like alot of the SW, and plenty to do. Casa Grande has many of the big box stores, good restaurants (many ethnic), great grocery stores and the list goes on and on.

Winter climate? Tough to beat...and no bugs!! Day time temps high 60's to mid 70's (last year we had temps in the 80's in January). Night time high 30's to mid 40's and have never froze up. Here is a Trip Journal entry from January 2016.

Our Trip Journal has the 'skinny' on our travels.

Safe travels everyone!!

I check for cancelations at least 15-20 times a day and have been lucking out lately.We love the beautiful state parks in Florida. We have also stayed at St Joe's SP,Steven Foster SP,Talbot Island SP and Fort Clinch SP. in the northern part of Florida.

opps knew I was missing one...we are also booked at Oscar Shearer SP

We too, love the Florida state parks and think they are the best. We have always used them in the past, however we have given up on the process of securing them 11 months in advance to the millisecond.
This year we have finally switched to private parks and will have to pay the higher prices and less desirable sites to be where we want to be.
I have always wondered why Florida doesn't expand on there park system, as they are soo popular and always so full and hard to get into.

Our winter travel when we leave our upstate NY cottage after spending the holidays with our kids families includes reservations in order at:

Jacksonville North/St Mary's KOA, GA
Ft Clinch State Park, FL
Lake Griffin State Park, FL
Escapees Sumter Oaks RV Park, FL
Myakka River State Park, FL
Little Manatee River State Park, FL
Silver Springs State Park, FL
James Island County Park, SC

Some are repeat visits, while others will be new to us.

We'll be stopping at several other parks both coming and going of course, but we keep those dates flexible to accommodate weather and other potential changes.
