3 Comments Palm Tree Lullaby
Feeling a little claustrophobic this afternoon, I decided to go for a walk ‘in the other direction’ (away from the entrance to this beach). The sun was warm, but the wind gusts chilly, so I was glad I wore a fleece top.
I walked (or, rather, tried not to become airborne) for a few klicks, hypnotized as I was by the sound of the palm trees rustling in the wind. I passed a lot of vacation homes, RVs, and a trailer masquerading as a motel, but that’s it.
I just checked the map and, to my surprise, if I had kept going just another two miles or so, I would have reached the Indianola Fishing Marina where there is a small bar and grill. Total distance from home round trip is 8 miles, or 13KM, definitely doable on foot! So I may take off late morning one day and go grab lunch there, then spend part of the afternoon on the pier. That sounds so much more pleasant than hopping in the truck to go.
The wind might actually be slowing down a little. It’s still very loud, but the RV is just shifting rather than rocking. Nope, typed too soon!

Here at the house in Austin the wind has died down a lot. The wind chimes are mostly quiet now and the trees are only swaying sightly. We are nestled is a small valley and have been windy for the last few days, I can’t even imagine how much wind you have had.
Considering how much I have written about it, it’s been A LOT!
Hi Rae;
We are in Tickfaw State Park in Lousiana. Can’t believe we had the air conditioner and dehumidifier on last night and tonight we have the heater on. Crazy weather.
Just wondering, as we have similiar rigs (1999 30′ Royal Classic) do you still have your generator and if so, did you have your batteries connected so that you could use your generator to supplement your batteries if not enough for the solar? We had solar installed and if we are unable to get the batteries up we can run the generator to supplement.
Also wondering, would you recommend AM Solar. We are thinking we may need some work done on our existing system before we return up north and may look into them.
Thanks and hope the wind dies down for you out there. We are here until Friday and then heading up to Natchez State Park in Mississippi.
Safe travels.
