Winter Blahs

Jeez, I have a case of the winter blahs today. I want to hitch up my Wildcat and go camping/traveling again. When will the winter freeze be gone? When will the state parks turn on the water again? When will the COE parks open again? My tacky lights are ready and I can’t wait to use them again. C’mon warm weather, I’m sick of cold weather.

Guess you'll have to get wheels for that thing or come to Canada.We've had enough snow for sledding for a couple of weeks now and supposed to get another 20 cm or so on the weekend.

I have been sitting here watching the weather every day...waiting for the weather to make any indication that it is going to warm up. We have flowers blooming here in Middle Tennessee but I dare not dewinterize my TT because I know what is to come. I will keep watching my local Walmart...I know it won't be long before they will put their spring stuff out...then I will be ready.

No snow in Minnesota either . . . Went to the hobby farm today where the trailer is stored in the barn. Put some new tires on the trailer. Now I have "camping fever" also !!!

That's a great floorplan in a fifth wheel that is a great length for camping. I hope you have a great time with your Wildcat this coming season.
