Monday November 28th 2016

It was a cloudy day when I got up this morning. The temperature was in the low 60s and the lack of direct sunlight slowed the warming. I ended up going back to bed after my shower to warm up. Another 2 hours of sleep put a wrinkle in my plans. It was after 10 before I got going this morning.

It stayed cloudy with occasional light rain most of the day. I decided against going to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates in favor of a slower paced preparation for tomorrow’s move. The uncertainty of the weather and the shortness of available daylight time both factored into my decision. It boils down to I didn’t want to go bad enough and I make plans in Jello; it doesn’t take much to change the shape.

Around the campground as many people left today as yesterday. The difference is that the place is full tonight with new arrivals. Since I’ve been on the road, I’ve usually traveled on Tuesdays. It is a compromise between finding available sites when I don’t have reservations and traffic. The weekends might be better for avoiding traffic in cities, but I think traffic can be worst on the Interstates between cities and at tourist destinations on weekends.

The two weeks worth of stuff outside the camper has all been stored away. The things I can put away or prepare for travel inside have been done. Most of the inside stuff has to be completed just before travel or else I’d have to go to bed early and forgo breakfast.

Afternoon visitor to my campsite.

Another afternoon visitor.

I had one last visit from the some of the various birds that live around the river. They have kept me well entertained while I’ve been here. My next stop is on the Atlantic Ocean beside the Port Canaveral channel. I’ll have passing cargo ships and cruise ships to keep me entertained. There is also a rocket launch scheduled for December 7th while I’m staying at Jetty Park. If it goes up on schedule that will be fun to see.
