Which way doth the wind blow?
Well I have moved from the Encore park to park 10 miles south of Disney near a new golf development call Champions Gate. I moved off the prairie to a campground with lots of old oaks now I'm wondering which way the wind is going to blow.
Ironic that I leave the coast after 17 years and now I'm sitting in Central FL having to listen to all the hurricane hype. I have been through this so many times I can't believe it's happening in Orlando! I'm not really concerned about the hurricane itself just spin off tornados. My common sense tells me that this storm is not packing enough punch to do much damage once it starts moving inland. But you never know. I'll just keep an eye on it. Right now it's a toss up between me (Polk county) and Rob Cooley (Lake county).
I have enjoyed exploring the area. Still no good job offer but I'm hopeful. I will say I really like Melbourne. It appears to be a neat little town. Not too small. Not too big. The beach area still has charm. I must say I'm a little overwhelmed by the Orlando/ Kissimmee area.
I have a new state motto for Florida..."If we build it they will come".
The park I'm in is Lakewood RV resort. It's older and fairly empty right now, but I like it's location for getting around. The staff is great. The rates are good. I have access to various routes, which I have found is necessary around here. You always need what I call an plan B and C for getting somewhere. The area is rural, but not for long as evidenced by the four lane highways being constructed. And golf courses. I'm sure this park will be gone in a few years just like many others being bought up by developers in the area.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.
