Wednesday, February 20

At 7:30 this morning, it was clear, sunny and 18C (64.5F). It was very quiet and dark last night and pleasant with all the windows and roof vents open.

At 9:00, we went to the office and they found us a site. No Wi-Fi however. We booked in for the next 5 nights.

Went to the cabana for internet & talked to my brother, Chris, who is coming down on Sunday for a week when we go to the Keys. I let him know that it is sunny and 27C (80F) as he is experiencing temps of -4F.

After lunch we went to Winn-Dixie for some groceries, then back at the park, walked around some of the many cycle paths of the park next door. There is a beach with three mammoth waterslides carved into a rock mountain and a freshwater lake populated with bass. These facilities are only open during the summer months, however. There is a beautiful pool at the campground which is open.

 Can’t remember what these birds are called, but there were several of them around. I ended up logging 9.6 km today!

Back at the campground, we stopped to chat with 2 couples from Ontario. It is fascinating to hear how others travel. One fellow and his wife left Ontario in mid-October and have spent most of their time dry-camping in many locations. He has solar panels installed on the roof and they have learned to “live green”.
