January Cold

 We know winter is here, we had minus 1 below zero here in Little Deferiet !   That was cold this morning but to be rewarded for the cold we had a day of "Sunshine", first day of Sun in almost a "Week" !!!

This was our very First Camper,  We towed this to Virginia to visit a friend in Franklin, from there we were going to Appling Georgia to see my Best Friend Mike who I went to School with and had not seen in almost 22 years, this picture was October 6th, the day we hitched up and left New York State.

.

We left New York and made it to Doswell Virginia, we stayed there 1 night and a day and it was warm and enjoyable.  We learned fast to rely on each other as the Pilot and Co-Pilot, we were driving a 1972 Ford, F150 5 speed V8 with a small Oil Leak on the rear main bearing.

. We next went to Franklin Virginia and spent a week with my Friend Stewart who worked at Union Camp Paper Mill as Shift Supervisor and enjoyed our visit.

.

We then Headed for Georgia and saw my High School Friend Mike. then left for Florida !

We sold the Camper,  we sold it for $500 dollars and bought this 1955, 8 X 30 1 bedroom Mobile Home and lived here for a while in the Peace River Mobile Home Park on a Canal, The summers were too Hot so we packed up, sold the mobile home for $500 dollars and went Back to Northern New York,  *(Must of had a crazy spell) !

Back in New York we went back to work and Bought a nice camper and Put it on a nice lot on Lake Bonaparte up in Lewis County.

We really liked this Camping spot and we camped here every Summer for over 20 years !   We would stay weeks here or sometimes weekends, we would be here from when Snow left till about October and sometimes would go up and spend winter weekends here !

This was our Last Camper, a nice new Aliner, we really liked it but we decided we wanted to buy a House, so we sold the camper, looked around and Bought a house which we really like !
