After Florida, we traveled to Austin, Texas for 5 days and met up with Terry and Kirk. We stayed at the Austin Lone Star RV Resort. The resort was quite nice, but it is very hectic with traffic and tons of people.
We walked to the Fast Friends Brewery the first night. Had Dinner at Cooper’s Old-time BBQ in downtown Austin, which was great.
We walked the “Trail of Lights” and really enjoyed ourselves. Overall, a really nice time in Austin.

In late November, we spent 3 weeks in the pan handle of Florida. We spent the first 2 weeks at Coastline RV Resort in Eastpoint Florida. One of the best run and maintained RV Resorts we have ever been to. They have East and West Parks which are sperated by another property. We played pickleball almost everyday and enjoyed the fitness room. Their showers are outstanding and the people were just great. We stayed in site 26.
The next week, we spend on the ocean at Camping on the Gulf in Miramar Beach, Florida. They have RV sites on the beach; we stayed in the second row. Unfortunately, the weather was not great and we were only able to take a few walks on the pristine white sand beach. The sites by the ocean are very tight but we had good neighbors.
We are now in Austin, Texas for a week before starting to make our way to Arizonia for Christmas; we will be there for 3 months.

In early November, we spent 9 days at the Rainbow Plantation Escapees Park in Sundale, Alabama. A simple, low-cost park with not a lot of amenities. We played golf at Gulf Links Golf Course and One Club Gulf Shores but pretty much just relaxed.
We drove up to Mobile, to visit Battleship Memorial Park where the battleship USS Alabama is on display. What an amazing ship and a really good self-guided tour. It is amazing to think of the life sailors lived on this ship in WWII. We also toured the USS Drum a World War II Gato-class submarine.

On our way south we only spent 2 nights at Prairie Creek Campground, but boy was it nice. The sites were huge (site 16), and most were on the lake. Many fishermen and hunters (hunting squirrels). This is a Corps of Engineers campground (federal). They are always setup great and run well.
On Saturday, we arrived at Rainbow Plantation Park (Escapees) in Summerdale for a week in southern Alabama. 80 degrees by day and 50 degrees by night. Nice!

For the end of the month, and to celebrate Pam’s birthday, we traveled to Salvisa, KY and stayed at Cummins Ferry Campground. A very nice, but expensive campground. The pool was closed, and it was too cold to enjoy the river and outdoor activities.
This location was all so we could ride the rails with Rail Explorers; something that Pam has wanted to do for a long time.
We spent 2 hours travelling 8 miles (round trip) on “eBike” like rail trolley traveling through the picturesque Kentucky countryside. Passing the thoroughbred horse farms and descending into deep cuts through the limestone hills. Pam brought drinks and snack to enjoy at the turnaround area on the cliffs above the Kentucky River gorge.
We really enjoyed our experience and will probably do it again elsewhere in the country. The video turned out nice, and Pam recorded the return trip as a timelapse video. They use a 1973 Airstream as their gift shop. All the people were great.
