Probably would be nice to go sit by the river and mull things. Has a tendency to calm things down a bit.

Glad you got relocated ok.

So I stalked you a little bit, is that the River Acres RV park you landed at?  Actually looks like a nice area, historic, not a lot of people, lots of shade, plus the river.  Could be a lot worse, at least no gators or snow.  :icon_smile:

Yep, that's the place. So far so good, took a short (2 mile) walk this morning, mighty serene from what I can tell so far. And the rent is right. From some of the front yards I've seen I don't think there's any threat of me being crowned the local kook :icon_mrgreen:

Started my walking regimen a couple days after moving in last week. First day was a short one, just to the highway and back, pedometer clocked .96 mile. So the next day I braved an extra couple miles down the highway. Not recommended 😕. Lots of traffic, mostly big trucks, mostly doing 80+ mph, and a few of those thought it'd be fun to cross onto the shoulder to see if I'd jump for the ditch. Never again.

Then 4 days ago I tried a tenth mile dirt service road that went the opposite direction. It came out on a paved county road lined with small ranches and LARGE opulent estates on LARGE manicured grounds. Money down that way, yeh? Nice walk, little to no traffic at 6:50 am, a couple decent hills to challenge the calves, and the pedometer clocked just a fuzz under 5 miles from doorstep to doorstep. It parallels the highway, so it ain't exactly quiet, but it's a nice stroll. Lots of blacktail every morning, must be plenty wild pigs too. No sightings, but the road is littered with fresh scat every morning. I saw a coyote yesterday, though it was big and furry enough that I wondered if it wasn't a Mexican gray wolf. They aren't known to range this far east, but they don't know that...

The park is quiet, and folks here (so far) don't seem all that sociable. I've only been here a week and a half, I'm sure once the locals get a load of me that'll change--to one extreme or the other... :disturbed:
