Wednesday, March 5, Okeechobee

At 9:15, we wer on the road under sunny 19C (66.2F) skies.
After a brief stop in Bell Glade, we drove around the east side of Lake Okeechobee. The road is marked on the map as a "National Scenic Trail", however, there is very little to see because of a high berm between us and the lake!

At 12:15, we crossed St. Lucie Canal over a high bridge at Port Mayaca. This gave us our first view of Lake Okeechobee, which is the second-largest inland lake in the US.

At 12:45, we arrived at "Gracious RV Park", a small park. Everyone we met told us about the Pot Luck supper tonight and that we were welcome to come. "Just show up & you don't need to bring anything. There will be lots of food"
However, we went in to town & picked up a tub of potato salad to take. It is a beautiful day.

The Pot Luck was attended by about 40 friendly people who made us feel welcome and right at home. It was a great get-together!

The bonus is that we have good wi-fi right at our site. May stay for a few days!
