Cabin Fever! Cant wait to camp!

lou1216gc · 01-26-2011, 06:13 PM

I live in NY and there has been plenty of snow here. I cant wait to do some mods on TT and start the camping season. Thinking of Powder Horn Campground in Old Orchard Beach Maine, or Camp Hatteras in Outer Banks NC. Healthi got me thinking of going there after I saw pics. Anyone else dreaming of warmer weather and camping?

I think we are all dreaming of warmer weather and camping. I hear there are places in Maine where you can pick out your lobster right off the boat and they cook it in a brick oven right on the wharf. Anyone know of a place like that?

I`m dreamin` too, but that`s about all I can do until this weather breaks. I am actually camping this weekend though at our Boy Scout troop`s Klondike Derby. No trailer just my Kelty tent and -30 sleeping bag.

I don`t have access to lobster here but we do cook and eat crabs that I caught when in season. Brought some to campouts and they were a big hit among friends and family alike. Ahhh, fresh steamed crabs, good company and camping! Hard to beat.

I'm with you fellow camper I live in southern ky. it's been coldest& snowy winter in many years. Hope to retire this year may become snowbird.lol

Our normal "average" high temperature in North Alabama runs around 54 degrees this time of year. Since before mid-December, we have had very few 54 degree days with some in the 20's and most in the 30's or 40's.

Wa-hooo, predicted high this Sunday 60 that is SIX ZERO! The first above average day in a long time. I play golf this Friday, predicted high 55 degrees and SUNNY! Help is on the way!!!:hihi:

I'm with you kcconawa. My home base is south of Birmingham, but I'm hooking up this afternoon and heading over to Lake Mitchell for the weekend with some friends with a popup. It should be a great weekend and the forecast for Saturday is a high of 64. I'm ready for a change of scenery.

I to can't wait for warmer weather here in central PA. Will be moving our Jayco G2 31BHDS to a permanent site at the end of March about an hour from the home ranch. Will be spending alot long weekends there. Will have a deck to build, round up rocks for a fire ring and just plain relax. Oh, did I mention trout fishing in the creek running in front of the RV.

We have our Jayco TT as a "seasonal site" as well. We also have a deck, fire pit, little 10x10 shed for our peddle bikes, trailer with 3 x little boats, etc. etc. For us, we drive our mini-van there, enjoy and drive our mini-van back home. Much last costly then owning a Cottage. And when we get bored of a specific seasonal site, we simply hire a pickup and they move our TT to a different seasonal site. Thus, we don't have the high cost of owning an expensive to vehicle either. This works great for us....

Oh... I've got the itch so bad...

Well I looking down the barrel of getting to do my first trip soon. I'm trying to get the time and tires lined up today so I can get them replace and possible do my first trial camp out in Ontario, OR - Boise, ID area.

Been working so hard getting all the little bugs and things taken care of and inspected...

Well we scheduled out first trip and reserved campsite for April 15 at Roaring River State Park in Missouri. Im going to bet we go out before that but that is the first "scheduled" trip. Im so ready to get the new 5'er out!

Congrads to you...

Very nice looking place Spike99. I like how your trailer matches your deck.
We've been on a seasonal site for the last 3 years but it'll be awhile before we head up to our 'retreat'. We're going to an RV show next weekend just to ease the withdrawal a little.

kcconawa · 01-27-2011, 07:59 PM

Wa-Hooo! Got up to 53 degrees today. We broke out the hose and washed both vehicles. Man do they look better, washing all of that winter grime away.

Then put the 5th wheel in truck and got the old RV out of storage. Is parked out front and loading for first trip. She made grocery store run and loaded out the pantry. We hit the road Saturday morning for 4 weeks. Going work camping (volunteer w/Alabama Campers on Mission) building a church near Florida line. The ole weather man predicts freezing here in the morning then 3of next 7 days to have a high of sixty something w/lows above freezing!

Golf tomorrow, should be nice w/high around 58. And regarding "Cabin Fever" - first signs that the 2011 fever level is dropping in Alabama!

chas111 · 01-27-2011, 08:27 PM

We had Boy Scout Klondike camping also earlier in January. It was 12 degrees. I missed my new camper! March will be here soon.

lou1216gc · 01-27-2011, 08:41 PM

:hihi:As a New Yorker the temperature 60 would be an unbelivable site. Cant wait to camp! Spike99 awesome seasonal love the deck and matching trailer..:hihi:

lou1216gc · 01-27-2011, 08:48 PM

reading everyone posts about how excited everyone is to camp reminds me of how nice Rv'ers are. WE ROCK!

Derek700 · 01-27-2011, 09:29 PM

We have a trip planned to Wash. State in April. We are hoping to get out in early March weather pending. The itch is really here now. We have another trip scheduled for July 1, to the Cariboo region of BC. We stay at Canim Lake and fish ride our ATV's and have fun. The interior portion of BC is one of the nicest places anywhere.

Mopar1973Man · 01-28-2011, 07:48 AM

Anything above freezing is camping weather for me because I know the stick house won't freeze up.

Sat or Sun I got a date with a Jayco Trailer and going to hitch it up and drag it around and get use to it. Stop at a few places and practice... Time to get in some spring training...:hihi:

av8arkie · 01-28-2011, 10:40 AM

62 degrees here tomorrow. (SAT) Im going to go get the 5'er cleaned and waxed. When Im finished it will be ready for camping and even a pic for this forum!
