My Week at Fort Wilderness - Disney - Tuesday 1/18/2022

A pair of gobblers casually walked past my site this morning.

Tuesday was a welcomed day "off" but C-O-L-D here in Ft. Wilderness....well, by Florida standards, yes. Temps usually hovered in the mid 50's but at night, into the low to mid 40's; of course, this is nothing like what the folks back home are experiencing. Taking a break from collecting thoughts and composing my next blog post, I took a walk over to site #727 to visit Norma, Cheri and David. True Mickey Mouse aficionados and frequent visitors, Fort Wilderness is their "home away from home. Their 37 foot fifth-wheel is beautiful, spacious and has everything needed for a life away from home including a full residential refrigerator,  washer/dryer and gas fireplace.

Fireplace out of sight on the right.

That evening and thanks to Ray's borrowed Solo smokeless fire pit, we gathered at site 211 to do what you do when you're camping and it's cold: Sit around the "campfire" and chat. This model is 16" in diameter and weighs about 20 pounds. They come larger and are pricey.

When loaded and going full bore, the heat given off kept us cozy

and yes, there was very little if any smoke. That's what usually keeps

many folks, especially those with asthma away from enjoying the treat.

No smoke odors enter your RV or remain on your clothing.

(I did miss the smell of burning wood, however)

Now, the other way to go is to have a propane firepit with
lava rocks like Cheri and David and friends, Vicki and George.
Here's the link for the Outland Firebowl 883 mega outdoor propane gas fire pit

Of course, if your arms are long enough for selfies, then you're good to go.

Wednesday, it's off to the Magic Kingdom. See you there.
