In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Oil in the Gulf & on the beach






















We have just been hanging out this last week. Jody has been coming over so she & Judy have been running around. We went to their place Saturday and helped separate their stuff in storage facility then went to Biloxi. We checked out several CGs because we'll be moving there Thursday. We also rode by the house Dr Bahnmiller is purchasing. We finally isolated our CG search to one we can spend a month in, Southern Comfort on Beach Ave across from the Gulf.
Yes, there is oil on the marshes and beaches down here. BP is busing in workers to pick up some oil globs (tar balls) that wash ashore. At Gulf Shores the beach is open and there are a few people in the water. We understand that there are not near as many people on the beach as there should be this time of the year. You can see folks on the beach sunbathing with bags of oily sand nearby in the pictures. For the most part the locals do not believe BP is doing enough to clean up their mess & I agree. Business down here is hearting.
We have been spending some time in the CGs pool and it is NICE. Daytime its in the low 90s and at night the high 70s.
