New Year Update

It seems like its been a long time since I last blogged. I guess with Christmas, New Years and staying busy here at the Boy Scout camp it just feels that way. We just completed the Brooksville Raid Civil War Reenactment here at camp. What a job that was. No numbers on how many people came but I'll say this, Saturday was packed. Sunday not so much due to a big chance of rain that never happened and heavy winds. 

 There were over one thousand reenactors here and they put on quite a show. The Scouts Sertoma Club did a fantastic job again this year putting on this annual event.

Here at Sandhill Scout Reservation there's an abundance of wildlife around. Some of the critters I've seen here are Sand Cranes, Turtles, Swamp Hawks, Woodpeckers, Wild Turkeys, and Coyotes.

Another reason I've been busy is repairing all the water leaks and broken pipes we keep finding here. At least with the sandy soil the digging has been easy. Its pretty quiet here during the week, its on the weekends that scouts come camping. Main things to do is checking the latrines making sure all the important papers are there, water is on, and swept out.

The main reason we came here was to be close to the kids and grandkids for a few months, two of the kids came for the raid and brought all the grandkids. We got to go to church with them all Christmas Eve and spent Christmas day with all of them again.

Just a quick plug, I've read a lot of RV forums about reviews on the Nuwave cooktop. Barb and I decided to get one. It works great, heats up faster than any other electric cooktop, holds the heat you set it to. You can put your hand on the top and not get burned, its warm but not cool like the infomercial says, no big deal. Of course you can only cook one pot or pan at a time so you need to use another cooktop for any side dish. We have a small 2 burner electric cooker for that, might as well save your propane for when you need it. I highly recommend getting one, we use ours every day, unless Barb breaks out the crock pot which happens a lot.

Another major task that we got to put to bed was getting our health insurance concerns taken care of. Thanks Florida Blue. We can now travel and be covered without breaking the bank. And speaking of travel next month we get back on the road and head north stopping near Atlanta, Georgia so Barb can visit with her mom and brother before heading on to Cherokee North Carolina where we start workamping March 1^st.

This past week we went to the Florida RV Super Show at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. All kinds of RV's to see but nothing we would trade our 5^th. Wheel for. At least not in our price range. I did see a few Class A's I could live with but sorry to say I'm not one of the 3 powerball winners. That's about all we've been up to, so until next time.  

Safe Travels, And I Hope To See You Down The Road.
