Weeping Willow lane, Topsail Hill

Top of the lane leading to our campsite.  Beautiful plants and mature pine trees are everywhere in the campground.

Fully ready to land on the sand!  I pull the wagon with the bike down to the beach.  Its about a 3/4 mile ride from the campground. 

Getting ready for 2012

FINALLY!

Not Yet Awake From A Long Winters Rest

It is the end of February, 2012 and the Bullet is still under its winter blanket.  We have a lot of trees and spring time is messy with pollen so I hold off pulling the cover as long as possible.  Though this year I have the itch to do it soon!

February 2012

I spend my time during the "quiet season" when we are home and the TT is under its cover looking for new destinations, making reservations and planning vacations.  We've firmed up Charleston SC for June now so that is two weeks ready in advance.  It is usual for us to do four weeks a year with reservations and then throw in another week or so on local parks and campgrounds within a days drive.  This year may be a break in the usual as career and planning for retirement has become very important this year.  But that is another story for an AARP blog LOL!
I was out in the Bullet yesterday just looking around.  One of the Keystone Bullet bloggers has given me a couple of ideas for a few mods I'd like to do.  Putting carpet in the bedroom area is appealing and easy.  Making the storage area under the dining seating more accessible is one I've pondered and will involve a bit more planning.  Installing a door on the vertical side and a sliding storage drawer sounds like the way to go.  I know these bullets have a LOT of storage areas but one can never have too much!  
But for now, she is resting under her cover just waiting out the winter.  Regardless of what mods I end up doing (or not) its going to be a good year for travel...now to plan those other two weeks.

Thinking About 2012 Camping Season

Plans have begun for 2012.  First big camping trip of the year is down to Top Sail Hill SP, Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Then we may go over to Charleston later in the summer or somewhere on the East coast near the ocean.  We'll have a couple of stops out to the Smoky's sprinkled in and some long weekends out to some of the more local parks.  Fall is up in the air...we usually hit the beach again but this year we may elect to leaf-peep instead.
