Most of the snowbirds have left but there are still holdouts. We still have six inches of snow on the ground with another snow storm heading toward Wyoming. Still most have left and you can see it among our friends as there are only six left for the Saturday morning breakfast.

OF those four are leaving Monday and we plan on packing up and pulling out on Tuesday.  Our plans have changed, and we are going to leave our fifth wheel here for the summer. A rv repair and storage place, (away from the coast), is going to pull and park it, store and watch it, and finally wash it and haul it back to our spot next fall.

The reason for this is simple. We are tired of pulling a fifth wheel across mountain passes and through busy cities where we first must watch for snow and then watch out for idiot drivers that try to cut in ahead of us. They have no idea of our stopping distance required and if they slam on their brakes, we will end up going right over the top of their vehicle, (we have had two close calls in twelve years, we drive very defensively).

It will also give us more time up north as we can stay through October, instead of leaving on October first. We also plan on heading south in our pickup camper, as we still love camping at the many beautiful parks and Corp of Engineer parks. There are also special rv parks that we can enjoy the good times. First and foremost, of these, is Betty’s Rv park in Abbeville, Louisiana.

When we leave, we will return to Grand Isle, Louisiana, where we always enjoy Connie and Gary’s hospitality. We also are timing our visit to the Grand Isle Birding festival. Connie has already reported the return of Indigo buntings and several warblers.

From Grand Isle we will head back to Wyoming, staying at motels along the way. Our plans this year are to arrive in Wyoming around May 1^st. By then the snow should be melted and the park should be open. Clear skies, and safe travels.
