We’re now into our third week here and the weather is finally behaving. Another sunny day with clear blue skies, and a wake up temperature of 55°F. After breakfast Lyn headed over to the laundry, and I decided to strip down the BBQ and give it all a good clean out. The wind has died right down, so the awning can now be left out (got to show it off after all the cleaning it got last week).
After lunch we headed south to the beach, we dropped into the campsite we had stayed at for the last couple of years to see if last years neighbours from Ohio had arrived yet as we were hoping to meet up with them. There was no sign of them or their trailer, so I guess they are still travelling down.
We continued down to the beach, no too much had changed since last year. The area was busier than we expected, but that might be due to the fact that it is a long weekend down here (Martin Luther King Jr day tomorrow). We took a wander along the beach, which is always more of a workout than walking on a solid surface. Being back on a beach brought back memories of where we were just 3 months ago, wandering the beaches of the Cook Is and NZ.
We took the longer way home and drove to the Gulf Shores State Park. Some friends of ours stayed there before Christmas and suggested we take a look. Normally we avoid State Parks as they don’t always have all the hookups, no WiFi and also many have a limit as to how long you can stay there. This park was ideal, it had all that we would need, was close to the beach and I suspect the price was right as well. It’s in the “to try” list for future years.
We drove along the shore the road almost to the Florida border, then turned back and headed up the toll road to the camp site.
