Florida, Moore Haven - Wednesday, February 5, 2014 - M RV Resort

We pulled into M RV Resort in Moore Haven late afternoon on Monday after spending a couple of hours stocking up on groceries and fuel.  We saw miles and miles of orange groves on our way here.

 

I think we are going to like spending time here for the next three months.  This is what I call a “country campground”, nothing lavish, no golf course, but it’s just our style – laid back, quiet and comfortable.

The people here have all been really nice.  We got to know one fellow really well – Dave the electrician from Wisconsin.  He was filling in for one of the guys who normally escorts you to your site when we first met him.  When we tried to hook up to electric power nothing happened.  Greg and Dave started trying to find the problem and today they finally figured it out.  They tried all kinds of things, none of which I am going to try to explain because I don’t know what I am talking about.  They found out the problem was the outside plug which we just had replaced a couple of months ago because we thought the one we had was showing some wear.  Seems the guy who installed it didn’t get it just right.  At any rate we are up and running just fine now.

This is our view from the front window.  There are two alligators in that pond – I saw their eyes swimming along this morning.  I guess the pond is stocked pretty well so they have plenty to eat.  In fact, there are “please don’t feed the alligator signs around the pond”.  To me that would be a given, no one would have to give me a sign.

This is our site until the end of April.

Yesterday Greg rode into Ft. Myers to get the rear tire replaced on the bike.  When he loaded it in East Tampa he noticed that there were some cracks starting between the tread – no sense in taking any chances with a blowout.  The closest Harley dealer was Ft. Myers, about an hour and a half away.  I stayed home and managed to find a place for all of the groceries we bought.

Today we started participating in some of the many functions they have going on here.  I went to the “meet your neighbor” meeting while Greg and Dave finished up with the electrical problem.  At 2:00 I went to the clubhouse and talked to a group of ladies who get together to work on craft projects.  Going to have to dig out that cross stitch project I haven’t finished yet.  This evening we had supper at the snack bar in the clubhouse – good cheeseburgers and onion rings.  We met Len and Gloria who enjoyed a great looking pizza.  We all stayed to play bingo after eating, so we are officially retired. Tomorrow there is a pancake breakfast, but I’m not sure I want to get up that early J
