Saturday Notes:

Last night's Dinner/Dance was very nice.  We (K&R, V&G, and I) sat a table with R&K's friends that I met back up in Croton's RV site this past summer when Ray & Kathy hosted their RV's group/rally: Mike & Chris, Tony & Doreen.  Dinner consisted of BBQ boneless, skinless chicken breast, gravy (not soup, Ray) mashed potatoes, corn, salad, and desert--all for $12.50.  They did a good job and the meal delicious.  You brought your own place setting and drinks.  Most folks left by 9 pm, I got home around 10:00.

My first impressions of this resort community, as with Hilton Head's RV Resort, brought home the fact that a great number of people are into this life style.  I know it sounds like a given but you don't realize to what extent until you "walk among them."  Either full-timers who have sold their homes or those who have both and use home as home base for the 'off-season', this resort is filled with H-U-G-E rigs.  I don't even want to think abot the money invested in these "homes."

This is just the cab; the fifth wheel it pulls
behind is 40 feet long

Here's a 360° glance around my site.

And, for the first time, I saw Winnie's older brother; a 2013 View pass by my site.

Silver & Black

Just about visible in this shot are solar panels
which appear as silver plates on the roof.
The owner had a friend install them and change the
battery hookup system such that he can now run
all appliances using solar power. 

Owner had another friend build a hitch that
allows him to extend the bike rack outward to
the rear rather than having to unload bikes
in order to allow rear slide to be extended...

...he says "for a couple of hundred dollars."
Nice to have friends like that, eh?

Tonight's adventure and subject of tomorrow's blog will be a visit to Ari Sushi located about 25 minutes into Celebration, FL. Photos & comments tomorrow.
