For those in the eastern half of the country/continent, have any of you taken advantage of the unseasonably mild and sunny weather? Taken the RV to a year-round CG and gotten some fishing or golf in? For those around Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Buffalo, Boston, I can't imagine resisting the temptation.
I have tee times booked for the next 3 days and I live in Nova Scotia!

We just got back from our second trip this year but still afraid of freezing nighttime temps and have not de-winterized.

Took the plow and the chains off the lawnmower this morning, because I had to cut the grass. 20 days of camping since the first of the year and 6 of those within 5 miles of the house. I think it is called an Early Spring.

Reached 82 today in MA. Washed the RV and driveway camped. It was cooler near the beach, water is still around 45 degrees. We may beach camp this weekend, but the temps may drop toward the 50's by Saturday. It is very tempting to hit the road, but who knows how long this crazy warm weather will hold out.
See you on the road!

Myrtle Beach, S.C. is beautiful. Spending time between beach and golf. Life can be so trying at times.

We won't be as warm as you, but it's still forecast to be in the low/mid 70's away from the coast for the next several days. There's no place as pretty as New England on warm, sunny days from now til October, though IMO. You're lucky to live where you do!
And yeah, the coast here is downright chilly still. It'll be a while before you can even walk the beach without a jacket or heavy sweater!

Labs and Golding: I am sure there will still be chilly nights ahead, so I can understand your reluctance. Here the nights still drop to around the freezing mark or just above, even though the days are much warmer. Even if we get some snow or ice, keep those shovels stored haha! Just let nature take care of it, it can't last very long now.

Have you ever played a course called JE Good Park in Akron? I used to live just on the Canadian side of Detroit, and I took a quick golf/road trip around southern MI and OH a few years back.
Two 18-hole Donald Ross courses, municipally owned. Even if you play at the peak time on a Saturday mid-season you'll probably pay under 35 bucks. Great condition, lightning greens- and wait until the trees have flowered, because the unique part of the course is that they probably have every deciduous tree native to OH lining the fairways, and they're old and majestic. Very pretty place.
