Looks like the snowbird migration is about over. I expect the sunbirds will be migrating very soon. Hopefully we can get some of our winter snowbird buck$ back this summer as the sunbirds come north.

This year I noticed that I-81 thru the eastern pan-handle of West Virgina has been WAY busier with RV'ers migrating north. Motor homes probably out-numbered tow-able RV's by at least 20 to 1. And "most" of the motor homes were large and quite new looking.
Maybe we need to start playing the lottery so we can snowbird

We're on 95N heading home to VA after two months in wonderful Key West; hated to leave. Had to turn the furnace on this morning and put on my socks. Commented to DW yesterday that many RVs seemed to be heading south. We hope to head to Canada after a couple of months at home.

Spring break sent most of our snowbirds north.

We had 38 sites open up in two days, 3/31 and 4/1 of snowbirders heading home in the park we workamp at. More each day. A few travelers on PA coming through otherwise pretty quiet.

When we came north a month ago, we saw countless RV towables coming out of IN. Dealers must be optimistic on a good sales year this year. Seeing more inventory on lots as well. Good signs of spring and a great summer.

Almost every single one where I am at left 4/1.......ahhhhhhh.....just 4 MH's in the whole park.

Great weather, empty park, couldn't ask for more!

We’re still spreading our money around. I’m thinking we won’t get back till mid May this year. Half the fun of being a self contained RV snowbird is the in-between time. If you’re retired, why rush it?
