Almost to Florida

Our first night in the camper!! We had two heaters going to warm everything up and defrost all of the cupboards and closets. Everything that was liquid was frozen including mouthwash, cooking oil, and juice.
We spent the first two nights in hotels, but tonight we are at Frank Jackson State Park in OPP, Alabama. This is a really nice park with campsites on a lake. The only problem is it's only 34 degrees out, going down to 25 tonight.
Tomorrow we move to St Joseph Peninsula where it's supposed to be a balmy 50 degrees. Travelling has been very good with dry roads and lots of sunshine. Its been an easy and scenic drive on I65.
We heard there is about ten inches of new snow at home. Pease keep it there. I'm glad we left when we did.
 
 
We had sunshine and dry roads until the last hour when we drove through enough rain to wash the salt off of the truck and camper.

 
Cotton growing in a field near our campground.

 
The first camp of the trip at Frank Jackson State Park just north of the Florida border in Alabama.

 
The campsites all faced the lake here. This would be a great place in warmer weather!!

 
The park was about two thirds full although we hardly saw anybody outside. It was 34 degrees when we arrived here.
