We"have traveled a short distance yesterday to a spot in the town of Galloway NJ where my sister Jackie lives. It is just a few minutes from the coast and Atlantic City. The place we are spending the next few nights is called Shady Pines. Its part rest home for seniors and also some open spots for people like us to park with full hook ups. The camper next to us has some construction people and their trucks that no doubt travel around with their RV to do work. We have seen that many times before in our travels. Other than starting their rigs early they don't bother anyone.
My sister is about 4 miles from us. She has a manufactured home in what used to be a campground but is now being turned into a development with many of the same type of homes being placed and sold. Jackie has a unique site in that it is right on a beautiful lake with swans. She has a social life as the occupants of the development get together and are friends.
One of the unsettling things is a cold front has moved into the area and most of the east coast. Tonight is supposed to go down to the low twenties, F. We have learned in the past traveling in the Magic Bus that it isn't a winter rig. Years ago on a trip out west we froze in Yellowstone Nat. Park. Woke up to snow. They didn't allow you to run your generator and we had limited propane so used the stove to keep warm. Tonight we have a full tank of fuel, and an electric heater. I went out and bought a small 250 watt heater to put in the water closet under the bus to keep it all from freezing. Tomorrow I hope to go up to Long Branch NJ to see Peter my niece Dawns son play football. Two of my nieces, Jill and Lil Jackie along with my sister will go. Lynda isn't as she won't be at all comfortable at the forecasted 39 degrees F, nor isn't that thrilled with football. I will bundle up for it. Peter is almost 300lbs and 6'4" or so. He is such a nice person but can push well against the opposite team members and is a great player. The team is heading towards a championship. Should be cold fun.
