Had several leave from this park in Yuma today but at least that many if not more came in soon after, mostly Canandians. Where did all of you come from all of the sudden? It's nice to have you, just weird to see so many leave and that many more come right back in...

We're leaving our RV lot on March 15, but that's only because we are moving into a mobile ten miles farther south -- from Estero, FL, to Bonita Springs. We'll probably rent out the lot for a short term -- a few weeks or a month or so. The weather is generally excellent during that time frame. Unfortunately, we are in a no pet area.

We just got back from a 5 day cruise that left out of Tampa. On the way down from TN we meet sevaral snow bird rigs headed north, but on the way back to TN we meet several, what looked liked snow birds rigs headed south. We will be in the snow bird class in 2 years. I agree with one of the above post about people wanting to get back home to family and loved ones, also a bigger house. When we do snow bird in a couple of years, it will be hard to be away from grandkids for 3 months. Maybe we'll try one month at a time??

I'm guessing the Canadians are coming up from Mexico on their way back to their homes.

BTW Canadians, congratulations on your hockey win, and thanks for hosting the games.

RV's heading south, could likely be "NASCAR" fans heading to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for the race this weekend.

It's been a terrible winter and I suspect a lot of folks have decided that if having to spend the winter inside in front of the fireplace watching TV; may as well do it at home and be there to watch the robins arrive and snow melt away.


Today is just the tomorrow you worried about yesterday!

The park where we are staying in Mesa, AZ is full. Not a open site. Maybe it's because the weather has been good here and should continue until the end of the month.

I would venture to say it has not much to do with the weather and all to do with "spring training".
