Gary and Patty came by our site after we played pickleball this morning. Patty was telling me about seeing one of the young alligators yesterday afternoon. She said it was out of the water up near a tree! As she was speaking, one of them pointed out to the water directly in front of us,… Continue reading Alligator In “Our” Pond
Day Trip to Sanibel Island
Today Barry and I got up and headed to Sanibel Island. What beautiful views as you come over the causeway bridge! Pictures really don’t capture it. We drove the Jeep loaded with our bikes. The toll to come onto the island was $6 for 2 axles. We parked at Bowman’s Beach. Wow–$5 an hour for… Continue reading Day Trip to Sanibel Island

Bahia Honda State Park
December 27th we went to Bahia Honda State Park. We had to drive since we wanted to take our kayaks.

Don’t understand why it isn’t just a… Continue reading Bahia Honda State Park

Barry’s cousin, Craig Patrick, and his wife Susan live in Jupiter, Florida. Since we were in Orlando and driving south to the Keys, Barry contacted Craig to see if it would work out to meet up.
