Migration of the Snowbirds

Oct 16/15  Weather Sunny and 75 this afternoon, tonight 45.   It was a really nice driving day.   No construction on I75 today in this area.  I forgot to mention yesterday that Ohio was mile after mile of construction.  It does stay two lanes mostly but it is not pleasant driving, that's for sure.  The leaves are turning colour and really pretty. 
along I75 in Tennessee
We stopped at Holiday Travel Park of Chattanooga about 3 pm.   We did not have a reservation but had stayed here before and it is quite a large park.   As we pulled in we saw a trailer pull out.   Odd time to pull out.   Hmmm.   Oh yes, they are completely full all weekend long.  Huh!  Well Rosey how do you like going by the seat of your pants now???  Oh oh.  What's going on?  Two days in a row the campgrounds have been really full.  The camphost said "it's all the Snowbirds".  
Snowbird Migration
Back on I75 we go.  About 5 miles south in Ringgold, Georgia there is another campground called Battlefield RV Park.  They had a site for us to pull thru for the night.   Then I guess we are back on the road south again tomorrow.
Watch out for that Snowbird Migration.....   Did everyone hear about the frost warning up north???

Slow way home

Weather Very Cool for spring, nights high 30's/low 40's
Time to get out the electric blanket again. 
Day by day we move to the next state.  Wednesday we stopped in Chattanooga Tennessee at Holiday Travel Park.
Trees were flowering and by night the place was full of Ontario, Ohio and Michigan plates.  Everyone is headed north..... Slowly.   Thursday we stopped in Georgetown, Kentucky at Whispering Hills campground.  This place is reminiscent to us.  This is the first place we stayed 3 years ago our first day out.  Wow !!! 3 years.  And we still pinch ourselves thinking we are so lucky to be doing this.
Friday we moved along to Wapakoneta KOA.   There were many Ontario plates again this night.   With only a few hundred miles to home, I guess we are all just slowly going back to the cold country.   So Saturday will be our crossover day, it only took 6 days to get from Florida to Ontario!
