Today dawned clear & 15C (60F) after the time change to
Daylight Savings Time. It was definitely darker this morning.
It was a chores morning, time to vacuum & wash the
floors. Actually, these jobs don’t take long due to the small square foot area
of the trailer.
At noon , we went
back to the Speckled Perch Festival in Okeechobee for lunch, under sun/cloud
and 23C (73.4F). After walking around to see what is available, Marcel decided
on Chicken on a stick, which was tasty. Following much deliberation, I went for
the Cajun Sampler, a combination plate with Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice and
Jambalaya. There was more than enough of the delicious plate to for the two of us.
We returned to the booth that was selling vinyl etched
window decals which we looked at yesterday. Bought the one we had decided on,
the “Great Blue Heron and Bulrushes” and will put it on the shower door as a
reminder of our Florida
After leaving the Festival at 1:45 ,
we continued the drive south around Lake Okeechobee on
State Road 78. By 2:00 , there was not much to see, as we are away from the
lake, so turned back.
We came across a Scenic Trail access just before Okeechobee.
The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) located on top of the 110-miles of the
Herbert Hoover Dike is a multi-use trail that circles Lake
Okeechobee . We walked along
the dike, noting that this part of the lake has a marshy shoreline. This makes
it a popular spot for airboats, of which we saw several.
On the way back to the RV Park, we stopped at a fruit & vegetable
stand, where we bought a box a rib eye steaks & corn on the cob. Dinner
tonight settled!
