Feb.17 -Sun.

Today we drove to St.George Island about 160miles. We were here last year &really liked it. It is called the "uncommon Florida" because it is not commercialized - only one gas station, no fast food. The only access to the island is across a4.5 mile bridge across part of the Gulf. The park campsite is only a few blocks from the beach. Only downsize is the weather which has been really chilly. On the island is also a historic lighthouse which Richard climbed last year. Surprisingly there are quite a few people camping in tents with this colder weather. It was a lot warmer last year when we were here. After we got all hooked up, we drove back over the bridge to East Point,Fl where we were told there was a laundromat, which we are in need of since we have a weeks worth of laundry! When we found it it was already getting dusk, so we decided to do it tomorrow. This time we had the code to get back into the park!


Feb.18 - Mon.

It really got cold last night. We felt sorry for the "tenters" we had our furnace on -are we really in Fl..??? We started the day by doing the laundry -what fun! It is a little warmer today & the sun is out. East Point also has a Piggley wiggley & CVS. After laundry, Richard decided to go down to the beach on his bike to do some metal detecting &i went by the lighthouse where there are a few quaint specialty shops. I thought it was a little too cold by the beach. When I got back to the RV Richard was already there, he said it was way to cold by the water, but there was a gal in her bikini who actually went into the water! Her husband said they were from Canada and she said she had to at least say she was in the gulf -I say she is crazy! It is way to cold. It is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow (I sure hope so) but a 70 percent chance of rain - oh well, it could be worse, it could be snow!!
