Piper Aircraft Plant Tour

Being that my wife and I are both pilots we decided to take the free tour of the Piper Aircraft Plant. Two other couples from our campground, who are also from Michigan, joined us for the tour. It is a walking tour with a gentleman who takes you through the plant. Well the gentleman who was our guide had a somewhat soft voice so with ear plugs in your ears to protect them, it was very difficult to hear or understand him. Also I had expected to see a completed aircraft at the end of the tour. What we saw was almost entirely the metalworking portions of the aircraft assembly. No completed aircraft at the end of the tour. We did see the instrument panel shop where they assemble the instruments and make the wiring harnesses that are installed in the aircraft. All in all I was somewhat disappointed with the tour. Also they didn't allow cameras in the plant so I couldn't include any pictures.

November Update

We have been here at Lake Wales RV Park since November 1st. The weather has been good but we are now seeing a cool down, mid 60s for highs and high 40s to low 50 for lows. It has rained here more than usual, 4 inches just last night. With sandy soil it doesn't leave a lot of puddles around for very long. Here are a few pictures of the campground we are in. They have a nice pond where you drive in.

We Are Here

Arrived at our home until May 1, 2015 on Saturday afternoon.

Moving

Our time here in the Keys is drawing to a close. We are headed to Lake Wales Saturday morning to our campsite for the rest of the Winter. We will be there until May 1, 2015.

Wet

We are in the Keys and it has rained a little. Rain in the forecast for the next 8 to 10 days. Being only two feet above sea level makes it slow to seep into the ground. It takes a day to mostly seep into the ground.

Hot !!

It has been hot here in the Keys. Highs in the 90's and lows in the 80's. Have had the air on almost continually. Nice breeze outside if you sit in the shade.

In The Keys

We are in the keys at Sunshine RV Resort at mile marker 39 for the month of October.
