All Set Up Again

The trip to Clermont was uneventful - good news. The jacks seemed to have functioned normally at both ends of the move, and they remained in the raised position during the entire drive. Of course, it was only a half hour drive to the Thousand Trails park but it was a good test. We really like this park and once again, we have a great site, with nothing behind us:

The registration for both the fifth wheel and truck were due for renewal, so we drove to Clermont to the Tax Collector's office - the place in FL where you pay for registrations - and got them both renewed for another year. One of the main reasons for using Florida as our address is the low cost for vehicle registrations. The combined total for both the trailer and the truck was $200, whereas in AZ it would have been $1500. That's a no-brainer.

When we returned back to the campground, we took a walk to the clubhouse and each had a big cup of ice cream from the store and just checked out everything. Tomorrow I hope to have some shots of this huge clubhouse area. There are 2 pools - 1 for adults only - the clubhouse, a fitness center with all kinds of equipment, the store, tennis courts and an area for other outside activities like horseshoes, a playground for the kids and, of course, shuffleboard (the old-folks game).

It doesn't look like a very nice day today - clouds and 67 - but it is better than most other places in the country. We have been watching the Weather Channel and it is not a pretty picture in the Chicago area with the blizzard they are having, so we hope that Patty and her family stay safe and warm. It's close to the time of year that we used to go back and stay with the kids while she and Mark took their annual vacation to warmer climates, so we know how bad it can get.

Until tomorrow...
