Oh my, Marty, winterizing already? Might as well if you are certain of your schedule (we have temps near 100 this week). However, temps will break and we'll get low 90s/60s by Friday so the 11am football game on Saturday may be tolerable (at mid-day nearly every seat is in the sun).
I have a non-trailer camping trip scheduled for my local COE campground on Halloween weekend. In the past I have camped out there on Labor Day weekend (well last two years) and it was still blazing hot. I originally had scheduled it again for this year but a couple months back pushed it to end of October. It's an off-weekend for Bama so I can get in there for a fall weekend. It'll be just me so I'll take the ol' Boy Scout summer camp canvas wall tent and cot. I have a site on the river near the dam (lights at night) and it's only 15 minutes from Publix and mom/dad's house. 25 minutes home. So I will be taking the satellite dish and tv and watch some football and enjoy the outdoors.

PS - at some point I will winterize too by blowing out the water from the Aliner lines with pressurized air. But that's no problem when I am taking it back to St. Augustine for an extended couple day stay (leaving before New Years and leaving on the Saturday after). I've been to St.A twice in the last two years (one a day trip and one a quick overnighter) but I like what I've seen and wanted to stay longer. We will be at Anastasia SP again which is along the beach. The camping loops are set in some dense hammocks. Thing is, though, I don't know if I'll be going by myself or me/DW and up to the two youngest kids. Their plans are up in the air still. I hope to still go unless momma says no to a solo trip. She's afraid I'll have too much fun if I am by myself.
Sounds like a blast. We certainly have some time before I have to worry about temps (really don't get too concerned about that until mid-October). But, every weekend between now and then is booked. We were supposed to go over a long weekend at the end of this month, only to find out they scheduled Homecoming for that weekend.
Our next scheduled trip is Memorial Day. We are doing Williamsburg, VA at the end of March, however, and haven't yet decided if that will be with the camper or some other accomodatinos.
Happy camping - I'll look forward to the pics!
