Most who hop into the RV and visit this wonderful country hope for sunny days and fair weather. However, sometimes you'll end up with a rainy day. Never fear, there are always ways for you to turn the raindrops into lemon drops and gumdrops.
The Freedom Rolling hosts are no strangers to precipitation. As we first started to travel in just the lowly SUV, nearly every trip, major or minor as it may be, seemed to have some sort of rain or snow with it. Even in Las Vegas, known for its desert climate, the rain had followed us. Ironically enough, one of the destinations where we didn't see rain was around Seattle, known for its nearly consistent amounts of precipitation. That wasn't to say we didn't experience it at all during that cross-country road trip, as the hailstorm in western South Dakota along the way was quite interesting. We've certainly had our shares of not-so-nice weather, including seeing a tornado form a couple miles outside the passenger window along the interstate in Illinois, as well as a tropical storm on the beaches of Florida.
So what's a full time RVing family to do when the weather isn't so nice? After all, many of our activities are outdoors. For those in the middle of a longer-term workamping stay, it isn't that bad of a day to have to take care of that, as you're not going to have too many customers. Some may use this as a time to "catch up" on things inside the RV, or even plan the next moves. You may have brought some indoor entertainment with you, but who really wants to stay cooped up in this life? Why not take some time to drive around. Explore the nearby city and its architecture. If you really need a destination, museums may be a good choice. The sidewalks may not be as bustling, but if you're not into crowds, that's usually the best time to look over everything.
So the next time the weather isn't so nice, don't let the internal compass just flood. Turn the raindrops into lemon drops and gumdrops, and oh, what a rain it will be.
