I finally got my nerve up & actually left in
my RV Nov. 18th 2006, I've been RV camping ever since & have really been enjoying the whole experience, as well as gaining
experience each & every day. My very first stop as an official RV'er was at O'Leno State Park in High Springs, Fl.
$15.00/day. I had 2 different sites while I was there, both in the Magnolia Camping area. Totally loved it, &
I got pretty good at making a campfire, too.
I did find out that as a Single RV'er I had to make the move to be friendly, meeting &
talking with others. It would have been a bit too quiet if I had stayed completely to myself. I have now
moved on to an RV Park in White Springs, FL on the Suwannee River, there's a lot of camping in the area & I was fortunate
enough to find Kelly's RV Park on Rt. 41 (they take Passport Amer., Camp Club USA among others) their monthly rate is very
reasonable $235.00 plus tax, so I went ahead with that & paid for the whole month of December.
Since being on the road & using my rig I've had to have some additional plumbing
work done to correct some leaks & will have to have the toilet repaired as well. It was really nice to have
a mobile repair service, that the Park recommended, (Tri-County RV Services-ask for Glen) come right to where I'm parked to
service the rig so I didn't have to unhook & travel in unfamiliar territory.
I've met some really friendly people here & this Park has regular group events that make
a person feel welcome. It's going to get mighty cold tonight, by Florida standards & I'm really glad I bought
an oscillating heater the 2nd day I camped--so I don't have to fire up the furnace.
So far so good, even though there's been a couple of challenges along the way, One being
when the outside refrigerator compartment cover wasn't securely latched & it flew off on the road as I was traveling 50+mph!!
I was furtunate that there is a used RV Parts Store not too far from here & some nice folks took me there yesterday to
pick up a replacement cover--for only $15.00!
I highly recommend Singles, & that includes Women on their own, not hesitate to
try out this lifestyle! My confidence has grown a lot in a short period of time & I really needed that...
