Their Home is Their Castle

Wharton Texas

WINTER TEXANS is what we call them.
Every Winter, thousands of these travel trailer homes come to Texas from the Northern U.S. and Canada.
Then in the Spring, they migrate back north to their real home. These folks were from Ontario, Canada.
We also saw several Michigan, Illinois and Ohio license plates when Tom and I were on the Interstate today.

And their mobile homes can be real flash too.

Great thinking for the title.
AS Yvonne says, we have thousands of Grey Nomads following the sun here too.

We have them hear too Lynn, and call them "Grey Nomads" southerners seeking the
sunshine in the warmer states of Oz... Great shot and very interesting looking van!

And now the time has come
And so, my love, I must go...
...One day, you'll find
That I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun

I have heard that there are many traveling folk who take their home with them! V

My parents winter in Florida and spend the rest of the year in New York. They refuse to travel on April 1 as it is bumper-to-bumper traffic. Fortunately, they own a little place in FL and aren't restricted by the rental agreement.

Very clear photo.
