March 23/2013 Thursday & Friday only high of 52 and cold at night 35 - and rain
OK so we understand March can come in like a lion and out like a lamb but it feels like it is going out like a lion too! When we came to Hot Springs we thought it was with the Spring season which was beautiful for the first 4 days. Then the Weather channel warned us that the Cold Canadian Air Mass was funneling down very low into the US and was going to stay down for the next few weeks. Living in an RV is also living half outdoors. So a couple days of inside is acceptable but then we miss being outside.
We looked at the forecast for the next 10 days and it was not going to be much warmer than 50's during the day and getting near freezing at night.
Then it hit us like a revelation "wait a second our house has wheels!!!" We don't have to sit and patiently wait it out. To help us look at the big picture of roadways we had our USA Interstate Map and decided that within a day of traveling we could be back in warm weather.
Gulf Shores of Alabama here we come! As much as we love the Ozarks for motorcycle riding in the spring it will have to wait till our next opportunity to venture back this way.
p.s. Camping Apps needs a blog page soon. I will work on that posting.

So next out comes all our campground information. We keep an indexed folder with all the campgrounds we have visited as well and any info we pick up at the Welcome Centres, filed by state. It's still nice to leaf through when you are toying with a plan. Billy likes the paper and I surf the web and many of the camping APP's we have for our IPhone. Within half an hour we had a new destination :).JPG)
