Where are we today ?
Today was suppose to be, rain windy and overcast and we were ready for it. Packed up and on the road shortly after 8:30am to beat the weather. But to our surprise it was an awesome day to tour.

35 RV's parked here in the parking lot! We Did our shopping here and the Dollar Tree across the parking lot, fueled up at Murphys gas bar. Chatted with a few other rv'ers from Canada that spoke English and relaxed for a bit of a Happy Hour between our rigs.

A view of the parking lot, it is beginning to fill up.
As the sun began to set it was about 5 o'clock, time to fire up the oven, bake a chicken Kiev, some Ramen noodles with peas, and a fresh tossed salad for a very tasty supper.

Wow! That is a lot of RVs in a Walmart lot.. Be thankful you are not here in Ontario. The weather. Is absolutely foul. Heavy rain and strong winds, but then I guess we can be thankful we are not in New York! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we planned it well this time.
DeleteDo you think some of the RV's are there because they are moving away from Sandy? I have never seen so many RV's in a Walmart since our RV park fled the Kelowna fires in 2003.
ReplyDeleteTalked to a few other rver's and they said this Walmart is always busy. Passed here couple days ago, no damage.
Deletewow thats one full lot...everyone trying to get off the road before the storm hits...be safe
ReplyDeleteNo storms predicted for this area, just a nice busy spot.
DeleteGreat to hear you missed Hurricane Sandy - good planning on your part. I'm just watching it on TV and it's pretty scary. The roads and hiways are going to be a mess for a bit.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we missed Sandy altogether!
DeleteHow in the heck did they get that car on the roof of that truck?
ReplyDeleteHe has a ramp from the back of the box and a winch to pull it up there.
DeleteI love heading south too. I love seeing all the people and their unique modes of travel. The pictures of the little car on the pickup was a real winner.
ReplyDeleteYes we do get to see a lot of interesting things heading south.
DeleteWow. Looks likes getting in early to "camp Walmart" is the way to go. I guess they don't mind the extra sales and the parking lot must be huge.
ReplyDeleteWe like to start early and stop early, relax and enjoy the day, looks like most others do too.
DeleteOnly a few RV's in our Walmart parking lot last night. But then again, we're west of the Mississippi. Love it:))
ReplyDeleteThats why we usually go west too, hopefully a bit later on this year.
