That&#8217;s AM.<br \/><br \/>We made the stop back here at Big Oaks so we could visit my sister and her husband one last time before leaving Florida.<\/p>\r\n<p>I chose to stay in Georgia simply so I could put hot and humid Florida in my rearview mirror, of course it&#8217;s about the same temperature here, but it helps physiology wise. Just for the record we are less than a mile from the Florida Georgia border.<\/p>\r\n<p>Saturday, October 21, 2021, well that didn&#8217;t go as planned with Florida in the rearview mirror, we had a small snafu.<\/p>\r\n<p>We pulled out about 8:15 for a 257 mile drive, one go the longest in several weeks so I wanted to get an early start, 2:30 we pulled in to East Bank Campground, only to discover that check out was not until 3:00 and check in is at 4:00, of course someone is staying until the last second. We&#8217;re currently parked in a grassy field with the generator and A\/C running. Not only that but I have a splitting sinus headache, one reason we didn&#8217;t drag our feet getting here, I&#8217;m wanting to take a beandryl and they always put me to sleep so I can&#8217;t take one until we get setup.<\/p>\r\n<p>Found out the people in our spot were having some type of mechanical issue, all I know is later in the evening a woman tapped on our door asking if it was ok for her to look for her lost phone, I hope she found it, but it was not in plain sight when we parked. We both had headaches and neither one of us ventured outside once we got set up.<\/p>\r\n<p>This campground is on the shores of Lake Seminole, while it&#8217;s a large lake at 37,500 acres, it only has an average depth of 10ft, and 30ft at it&#8217;s deepest. Now, in the early fall when you look out across the water you can see acres and acres of seaweeds across the lake.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sunday, October 3, 2021, no A\/C again last night, YEA!<\/p>\r\n<p>Fall might be in the air after all, this leaf sits where it fell while I was reading.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11912 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11920'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7408-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\r\n<p>The End<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-11912 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11922'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7103-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11923'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7409-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11924'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7416-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11925'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7418-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/?attachment_id=11926'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rexisretired.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7443-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, September 29, 2021We moved from Lake Kissimmee SP back to Big Oaks, the same spot, back in the sun, but it&#8217;s not as bad this time around because, while it&#8217;s still HOT, the humidity is way down and it&#8217;s getting cooler at night so there are not as many hours of heat.
