December 12, 2021 - Lights of the Lake Park Estates and Other Stuff

The other evening we took a drive to "Lights of Lake Park Estates". Since 1993 almost every house in the subdivision has been lit up with over-the-top Christmas displays. They ask for donations to raise money for a hospice that helped one of their own back then. Since the beginning they have raised over a million dollars. Here is the website to read the whole story:  lightsoflakepark.com.

Here are a few pictures I took. It takes a full 45 minutes of slow driving to see all the decorated houses.

In the RV park we are parked in a section which is full of oak trees. It is fall here in Florida so the leaves and acorns are falling continuously. Here is a picture of our patio about an hour after I blew it off. It is a never-ending process. After the leaves have all fallen the pollen will start to fall. That gets really messy.

This morning I went up to do the laundry. On the way there I noticed this new fifth wheel in the park with no slide outs. I didn't know they made any like that.

I talked to the owner and he said ATC primarily makes all aluminum trailers to haul race cars. Their fifth wheel RV trailers are all made to order and are totally made out of aluminum as well. There is absolutely no wood in it, even on the inside. I'm sure it is a really pricey rig. He is a retired firefighter and he and his wife plan to travel the country in this 36-foot toy hauler.  He hauls his motorcycle and two e-bikes.  Always something new to learn about.

A little gloomy today with a chance of rain. It can't always be sunny in "The Sunshine State".
