Waiting on Wilma

Waiting on a hurricane is a lot like waiting for water to boil. We moved from the state park today. I am sure the mosquitoes hated to see us go. Terry believes he fed most of them in the park. We moved from A1A over to a campground between 1 and I-95. It is better landscaped and the dogs can actually be out and are enjoying their spot where they can see people coming in and out of the park. There is enough lighting even at night that Bailey isn't afraid to go out after dark.

The park had a steady stream of RV's coming in today and they fully expected to fill up, but they still have a few spots. People coming out of south Florida are coming here because they think it will be safe.

We are not sure. . . we hope so, but we took precautions. Before we set up camp, we topped off all fuel tanks, including propane, and filled with water, including some extra. We are on a full hookup sight, so we aren't using any of our resources, saving them in case we have to high-tail it out of here. Won't know that until about Friday.

They are expecting winds and rains here. Melbourne (about 140 miles south) is expecting anything from 40 mph winds up to 80 depending on the swath the storm takes. Brandon won't know until Friday if he is bailing to run the network from Virginia.

BTW, anyone can now post comments here, so if you want to comment, you may. You don't have to be a member. I do plan on adding pictures, but I have to get to a high speed connection to do that.

Till next time. . .
