Accommodations were as hard as we expected. We knew we were in Florida in the middle of the ‘snow bird’ season. This is when all the retirees from up north head to the warmer climate to avoid the hard winter. We had been living with this for the last three seasons but since we have a large enough solar install that we can camp off-grid and we never worried about a place to park. In Florida, there are very limited public lands that allow overnight dry camping.

Elk’s was a lifesaver! We joined the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks after we started our RV life. A lot of the lodges have some RV hookups for traveling Elks members, most on a first-come / first-serve basis with most limiting stays to 14 days. Lodges also have activities that traveling Elks are welcome to join. One had a Tiki Bar on Sunday afternoon that was a lot of fun.

We will be sure that our next trip to Florida is outside of Summer vacation and the Snow Bird season! We still need to pull the camper to the Keys!

As we leave Florida, heading north we are looking forward to our Eastern Seaboard adventure. The next stop is Savanna Georgia, then into the Carolinas. We plan to start looking for property in North Carolina because on paper it seems to fit what we are looking for. She’s a beach girl and I’m a mountain boy.
