Friday we moved over two rows to the area were we have spent the last two winters because we have become friends with snowbirds located there. Saturday we went with Jody & Bruce to Gulfport, MS to check out campgrounds because they might be moving there next year when Jody is finished with her residency in Mobile. It was disappointing, all the CGs we checked out were at least $150 a month more and not near as nice as Gulf Shores. We also rode by the hospital she's be associated with and the clinic where she's possibly work. On the way home we stopped at The Shed for BBQ. The food was very good and the place was just a bunch of sheds, really, connected together. Jody & Bruce are off to Myrtle Beach, SC in a few days so she can check out a position there.
Monday we were visited by tropical storm Ida. If you believed the media it was to be a major event with lots of rain and winds 50 to 60 mph with stronger gusts. Several RVers evacuated from the local CGs and headed north. Some closed up their RVs and went to motels. The state park by the Gulf had a mandatory evacuation and there was a county wide curfew from 10pm until 6am. Most stayed put like we did. Everyone retracted awnings and put stuff away so it wouldn't blow away. It did rain a lot, started about 10am and it really was coming down in the late afternoon, evening & night. We waited for the winds, and waited and waited but they never arrived. The trailer trembled a couple times but that was all, I think the winds topped out at 30 to 40mph. The storm was a bust!
