    wildwest beware the hanging moss in the trees there. They can harbor nasty little critters.

    Wow! That's lucky. Hoping the moving truck has a speedy and uneventful trip.

    There is a xl big red hound like dog , dark muzzle across the pond. Think he may be a. Full grown puppy. Hes long and lanky and loosy goosey. Cries like a baby at our dog. She has a tight quick bird dog on the scent gate. Entertaining to watch them interact over the pond though ours mostly ignores him

    Good advice, as hurricane season is June 1- Nov 1. September and October are usually busy on Atlantic Coast, I think.
    If ya'll ever need to escape a hurricane, I think the camper would be available.

    Just need to identify direction and distance. Multiple as the big storms can come from different angles.

    Beginning of mildew yes things don’t dry well or completely is above 50% humidity
