A Forced Vacation per Hurricane Milton
I'm generally a happy camper, literally and figuritively. I'm one of those chics who likes to consider myself pretty apt at camping and with basic survival tactics. I know how to fish and hunt. I know how to set up a tent. I was a Girl Scout in my youth and I've practiced outdoor living (RV, Van, and Tent) enough to have some valuable information to share with others. This article isn't about Camping Tips though. When the news began to scare the bojangles out of me with the direction of Hurricane Milton and the possibility of it reaching a Category 4 or 5, I did not panic. I stayed calm and packed up my car for camping as I was deciding which day was the best to leave. Though the area where I live was not ordered specifically for mandatory evacuation, many nearby areas were and I didn't want to chance it. I packed a small suitcase of clothes, a small bag of travel food, my laptop and cellphone, and my camping gear (tent, sleeping blanket, etc). I headed out on Monday the 7th (two days before the Hurricane was expected to make landfall) -- a day before the mass exodus of people who also decided to leave via I-75 on Tuesday.
