Tampa Bound - MacDill Air Force Base



Feb. 9 - Tuesday Rainy 53 degrees

We are Tampa bound, driving in a continual car wash!! We traveled route 10 to route 75 and south to Tampa. We did see some long horned steers, wild turkeys and lots of bee hives along route 10 and after that it has been continual down pour. The forecast was 60% chance. We both got wet hooking up this morning, and changed into warm and dry clothes as we started off, but both agreed it was much better than having a wet tent!! Both of us have bad memories of that!!

We arrived at McDill Air Force Base around 5:00 pm and found all 385 sites full, so we had to park in the Overflow camp area, so that means we do not have electric, water or sewer. Thankfully, we have a generator and will have electricity until 11:00 when we have to shut it off according to park rules.

I fixed homemade Chili and homemade biscuits with sharp cheese rolled up in them. Has not been the best of evenings, we found that the microwave has decided to take a leave of absence, door won’t close, therefore it doesn’t operate. Lou also found out that the A/C isn’t working either, so hopefully tomorrow we can find a place to camp with internet service so I can search out a Camping World so we can get a couple repair orders scheduled.

I called Scott this evening and surprised him, by letting him know we were here already, and we are going to his house for dinner tomorrow evening. We are in hopes we can find a RV camping place near his home and stay a couple of days before heading to Key West.
