Are there any RV Parks in Fairhope and Spanish Fort that we could call Home?

Friday, March 13 Randall and I have been doing a lot of cruching numbers and investigating into all that we will need to do to make our dream of extensive travel in our RV come to a reality. We have looked at it from all angles trying to see the best and quickest way to do this.

One thing that we have considered is going ahead and buying our 5th Wheel now. If we did this, we considered renting our house out and moving into an RV park while we still work. We can save more money by doing this. The problem is, there are really no great RV parks in Mobile. I have always wanted to live in Baldwin County. So we decided to ride to some of the parks over there and see what they looked like.

First we went to the new campground at the Blakely State Park in Spanish Fort. It was very woodsy and would be nice to stay at for a while. But I don't think it is a park that I would want to live in.

I also found a park on line in Fairhope that looked nice. So we checked it out as well. It was just O.K. The one big draw back was that it was almost to Point Clear and this would be quite the ride back and forth to work everyday. I would go from a 10 minute drive to work to about an hour drive or maybe more depending on traffic. Not very appealing.

So for now, this doesn't seem to be feasible. For right now, the plan is to save as much as we can. Randall says that it will take 10 years of saving before we will have enough to make it all work. 10 years seems like an eternity! Once again, I leave this in God's hand and we will do it if it is in His will and in His timing. For now it's fun to plan and dream!
