| The Weavers are leaving Key West! |
On 30 March, we left sunny Key West and arrived at stormy Patrick AFB near Melbourne, FL. We had just parked the motorhome in front of the RV Office when high winds and driving rain hit the area. Since our rig was getting hit from the side, it was really rocking and rolling. We drove to a more sheltered area in the campground and waited for a break in the storm to unhook the tow car and park in our site.
On the following day, a lot of the counties in and around central Florida were in Tornado Warning and Watch conditions. What a great way to start our trip Back-to-Civilization. Well, at least it's a little bit cooler here and we have full utility hookups with a view of the Banana River.
It feels a little strange to see so many stores, people, highways, and lots of traffic. After kicking back for five months in Key West, we feel like country folk visiting the city for the first time.

We will miss Key West, but it was time to move onward with the weather starting to feel more like a 24 hour steam bath. The cats were not enjoying it very much. Poor Dusty with all that fur seemed to do a lot of panting. Even Hitch did a lot of sleeping. We had to tiptoe through our motorhome because the floor was covered with stretched out cats. Step on one tail and it was a chain reaction! Cats leaping! Cats running! Fur flying! Not a pretty sight…no…not pretty at all. When we took the cats outside, they would find the deepest shade and lay there for hours. It is cooler here in central Florida thanks to the storm and the full hook ups for air conditioning as needed, so the cats are starting to look a little more perky again.

We hope to make it back to Key West for another winter, but probably not next year. Too many areas to explore for a back to back winter in Key West.
As the weather is improving, we will begin to explore the space coast over the next week or two.

Our doxies love the warm weather but they also get really sluggish in the 98 degree weather we're having. Thank goodness for air for the girls.
ReplyDeleteI'll second that! Air condition for us too, but we were in dry camp at the time. We would run the generator for an hour or two to cool off the inside. It was actually cooler to sit outside in the shade while catching the little breezes. Sandy
