LOL Of course with the weather we're getting this November, we could have extended the camping season for yet another week or two Gotta love this "balmy Indian Summer"..........

I'm swatting mosquitos and mowing grass. Got tomatoes the size of golf balls.
We had a blue norther predicted a couple years ago. I bought about 5 gallons of antifreeze, poured it in the water tank, turned the pump on and ran it through the system. Of course it didn't get as cold as predicted.
We just got home from Louisiana and are thinking: "where next"?
I do have a trip planned for Tulsa in mid January. Test that "Polar Package".

It is "unseasonally" warm here this week. The high today was 60, tomorrow through Friday are much the same. It isn't supposed to go below freezing any night this week (although there was some light frost this morning). This time last year, it was below freezing every day and some nights were below zero. CRAZY weather for sure !!!!!

Weather still looks good. Might freeze at night but high 40's for the day. Going to spend Thanksgiving with family in Frankenmuth then headed to the thumb if the weather holds out. Already making reservations for Beaver Island in May.

I know we are all sad that freezing temps have slowed our camping adventures. On the bright side when will we start unwinterizing and start the 2016 season. Just gotta have something to look forward too.

John: How's that fishing up there?? I'm headed to Sabine Lake tomorrow. Flounder run.
Temp spread- 50-72. Killed a copperhead on the driveway this afternoon.
'skeeters still bitin'.
Tomatoes looking good. Need a frost on the collards to sweeten them! Maybe after Thanksgiving.

Yesterday was almost 60F, today the high was 34. We've got 6" of snow predicted tomorrow evening and I'm guessing "fishing" (at least from boats) is over for the season. The freezer is full of Lake trout, steelhead, salmon, walleye, bass and I think I've got 2 or 3 catfish filets left from our last trip to Memphis. Deer season is in "full swing" and I'm staying out of the woods until the crazies with rifles go home. I prefer bow hunting anyway. There's a real nice 9 point that is coming in to my stand. He was there this morning and so far, nobody is hunting near me, so I think he'll be OK until after gun season ends. I've watched him for the past 4 years, he was a little 4 point when I first saw him, and yes, he's about 300 yards behind the house, so I'm not too worried about hunters there....

As for copperheads, between the moccasins, rattlesnakes, alligators in the pool and the occasional wild boar that "trotted" through our back yard in Pineville, My DW keeps informing me that "we" don't miss living down there.... Oh well, we should have enough snow to call it "the start of winter" by the weekend.... "LET THE GAMES BEGIN" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 6" of snow in southwest Michigan will be gone today and still headed to Frankenmuth Wednesday and maybe Thursday night. Then headed to Port Crescent State Park to camp on the beach in the rain it sounds like.

Lots of friends in the Thumb to look up

We're winterized but still camping.

Last weekend, it never got out of the teens and it snowed off and on. So what did we do? Went camping! Took water jugs and a space heater (to keep from blowing through all the propane), and used the campground's bathrooms. Pretty perfect, if you ask me.

I blew out the lines over the weekend, but realized I forgot the toilet. I didn't put antifreeze in the traps. Just bought the antifreeze yesterday. If needed I'll run to storage. No freezing weather is predicted for the next 2 weeks.

I currently have reservations at the end of the month. Luckily my average temps are nice here.

Mine too, had my camper washed and the roof treated while I was away last week. Climbed up and everything looked great.
Knowing its under the shed(RVport) for the winter and the first next warm day off I might even go up and reseal it before spring comes around. I know its time, it was last year that I did that to it.
Got to go and winterize it too. Cold weather coming.
