On the Road Again...FLORIDA JAN - FEB 2011

We decided to leave the cold, snow and rain on the Martin Luther King holiday weekend as Debra had Friday through Monday off. Left Friday morning for Jacksonville Fl for our first nights stop and then it was on the road again for a fairly short drive south to our next stop. We are currently in Ft Pierce/Ft Lucie, FL at a KOA. Once we got here we liked the new small campground so much we decided to stay the week and leave this coming Friday (21 Jan 2011) for Key Largo for a week before going on to the Navy campground in Key West to dry camp for the first time. We were able to get a good deal on a bay front site at Key Largo that someone had canceled out on. Probably couldn’t get out of snow in New York...Our neighbors here in Fort Pierce are from Canada on the left and on the right is a huge rig from the Asheville, NC area. We looked so out of place when we got here as we had on turtle necks and sweatshirts!! It was in the 70’s when we got here but the temp as gone up each day and yesterday it got up to 83! Debra had Monday off as it was a Federal holiday so we did some exploring and went south along the coast to Jupiter, FL to see how the very wealthy live. We didn’t get to go to the restaurant Lynn, our neighbor, had recommended as it was closed, so it was back home to a local one. This afternoon I am off to the bait shop and to the pier to fish while Debra works. The boys are enjoying the doggie run and going on outings with us!! Will let you know how things are as we travel more southerly.
