Winter hit up in the panhandle of Texas dropping 10 inches of snow. Interstate 40 was closed through Oklahoma and a number of RV'ers from "up north" in Texas headed here to escape the weather. We also had a number of folks that stayed here at our park longer than they planned not wanting to drive in it. We just had some heavy rain and then it got up to 75 degrees with a tornado watch - in January!
I am amazed at how many RV'ers don't head south until sometime in January when the roads can be at their worst. I asked one couple who just arrrived from Michigan if they even found any campgrounds to stay at on the way down. They put antifreeze in their rig and stay in motels along the way or they stay at state parks since most of those stay open even in winter. I am also amazed at the number of RV'ers who travel the whole winter. We have met a number of couples who travel across the south from Florida to Arizona never stopping for very long in any one place. I can't imagine what it costs in camping fees and fuel. It is so much less expensive to stay somewhere for a month -- monthly rates can save you hundreds of dollars over nightly rates. I can understand how you could become bored staying in one place if you don't have a hobby to pursue.
I tried taking pictures of some of the beautiful sunsets and a pretty moonrise by one of the windmills. We are trying to find a place to take sunset pictures without overhead wires in the background. The windmill is the back storage area of the cmapground -- the campground is much more orderly than this storage area.
