Three Months in One Place ???

Summer  2015
Billy??    Don't you need your co-pilot???
When we left Erieau I followed Billy and our Rig with the car we leave at my mum's.    It felt so strange to not be in the co-pilots seat.
Golf holes as you come into the RV park.  Nice view.

This summer we actually stayed in one spot for three months.  In the spring we had to get away from the lake and the fish flies so we moved inland to McGregor near Windsor, Ontario to Wildwood RV and Golf Resort. The park is well kept - paved streets, gravel with cement patio sites, back ins or pull thrus, rec center, 2 pools, many activities, golf course around the whole park, laundry & bath house, restaurant and plenty of super people.    This park is run like the many RV parks that Snowbirds flock to in the south.   There is a large contingency of campers here that winter in the south for 6 months and come back here for the balance of the year.  Good park to walk around and stop to talk and share camping stories.

It's been fun to explore new to us ..... roads and stores and restaurants.  It's only an hour west from where we grew up but neither of us had spent any time in this area.   We carry a back roads atlas of Ontario map book every time we leave the campground!!!  Yes,  I know it seems silly but we have gotten lost a few times.
