Trip Update Nov-Dec 2011 Part 2b

Heron on Merit Island
Mrs and Mr Clause
Jacobs Family
Christmas gathering at Linda and Rick's

After Hilton Head, we camped for a few days at beautiful Hunting Island State Park in SC and watched a Christmas boat parade in Beaufort. We had a few trailer problems when we got to Georgia. The tow arm failed and we had to get an emergency road side repair. Now the tow arm is stronger than when it was new. I gave up dealing with the unreliable Yakama bike rack, recycled it and found a way to carry the bikes on the trailer without the bike rack. We canoed in the Okefenokee Swamp, and got drenched on the Tomoka River in FL. On the 17th we parked the RV and flew to BWI from Orlando.

Our first stop was Carol and Cordale’s annual Christmas party which we always enjoy. We spent the next two weeks running back and forth between Laurel, Baltimore, York and Philly. Tom and Julie, Phil and Connie, and Floyd and Lauren were kind enough to share their homes with us. We spent Christmas Day with both of our families. We continued our tradition of New Years Eve bowling with Pat’s family.

The year ended on a sour note when my prostate biopsy came back positive for cancer. I guess I’ll be seeing more doctors in 2012!
