Back home we mark the changing seasons by listening to the sand hill cranes fly over. Or may be changing of the leaves. A little different process used here.
Interesting fact about this park is that RV's are limited to 6 month stays.Sure there is a large population of full time residents, but all others are limited. What this results in is the "summer people" and the "winter people". Winter people mostly snow birds from Canada and the northern states. We have been here in what is known as the shoulder season, summer winding down but not yet arrival time for the snowbirds. They have been arriving daily the past week or so. In speaking with our neighbors, local Florida people, the atmosphere or 'vibe' is completely different. We have noticed a change in behavior,or attitude of the new arrivals. Not always favorable. We inquired about a spot during the winter months, after a brief chuckle the best offer we could get is on waiting list for 2017! How would you like a business where people get in line months and years ahead to give you money?
We could not even get the site we are in now for this time next year. The one next to us was open so we reserved that spot for fall 2016. So much for going where the winds blow us. The further south, the farther ahead you must make reservations, and oh yeah because winter is 'high season' the same spot cost 50% more. I am told the same is true for southern Arizona. Many boon dock, (no water/electric/sewer hook ups), in the desert near Quartzite Arizona.Very low cost on BLM land. We may try it for a week or so one winter.
Just a couple of factoids that you may find interesting...
