Trailers, Temps and Trips

We awoke this morning to find the temperature hovering just above the freezing point and there was evidence that it was well below that over night - frozen puddles and the like. This is not at all 'normal' for this area, but it is known to happen from time to time and although we expect another refrigerator night tonight, we should be returning to more seasonal temps after that. That being said, we still expect a high today that will be around 25 degrees warmer than what is being expected in PA and I heard a blurb on TV yesterday about some areas in the North/Central part of the US that will be going through about a week where the high temp of the day will be sub-zero. I guess we will not complain too much, especially since there was snow in parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia yesterday. In our previous blog entry we shared some photos of our neighbors' rigs here in Holt and one of our readers questioned why there were no trailers among them. It just happens that most of the folks that we chat with here on a regular basis have either motorhomes or 5th wheels (and these types of RV's probably constitute around 75 or 80% of the unit population here). This seems to be the same as the general population of what we've seen on the road and other RV parks. Pictured in today's album (below) are some shots of about 1/2 of the population of trailers that are currently located here - a variety of types (see photo captions). I do believe that there is not a day that goes by that we don't see the name of a model or an RV manufacturer that we've never seen before. We've mentioned our trips to Biloxi, MS before and included in today's album are some exterior shots of the Beau Rivage casino/hotel that we've visited several times. As is frequently the case, these are photos taken through the window, while moving since it seems that no matter our original intent to take some time to look around the area and perhaps visit some other locations while in Biloxi, we get inside the casino and the next time we see the outdoors is when we're heading back home (except for those few moments when we may look out the window of our room, or the front entrance door near the lobby).
