While loading our RV on New Years Day, we experienced a fine example of Ohio’s motto, “if you don’t like the weather, stick around for the next change”. From glorious blue skies as I drove from the storage lot to our house, to the rain that soaked me 45 minutes later as I re-installed the batteries, to 3 or 4 more similar cycles that had Susi proclaiming, “It’s me.

With snow showers threatening, we got underway at 6:30 the next morning to try and stay ahead of the storm.

We were one hour away from Camp Coast Care, our final destination in Long Beach, Mississippi. We found a campground listed that really turned out to be a park where most of the visitors were living or long term — and, it seems, where quite a few of the residents are alcoholics.
