Cleaning, dumping, and 4.8 miles

Fort Pickens Campground
Gulf Islands National Seashore, FL

Interesting title, huh? :-)

This morning we got up,

lounged a bit, then

gave Harvey a good cleaning inside.

While I was finishing polishing

and scrubbing,

George got busy outside.

Yes, we broke down and

bought a Thetford 27 gallon Smarttote LX.

Now there is no excuse not to stay

in all those wonderful National & State parks!

I also rode around the park

and took pictures of some of the different

views and sites for Nancy & Bill.

 With all our chores out of the way,

we took Gail's advice

and walked from the bay side

of the campground

all around the tip,

to the gulf side..

a total of 4.8 miles!

It was a cloudy day, but still warm.

We saw lots of birds..

Pelican

Snowy Egret

Blue Heron

We picked up the pace as we saw the clouds

getting a bit darker..

..and couldn't believe a sailboat

would go out in this kind of weather..

We got back home just 

in time..it started to rain just

as we made the campground.

The rest of the day was spent

watching movies, and listening to the rain.

Tomorrow is looking good..

for a visit to Pensacola..

the lighthouse,

the Naval Aviation Museum,

and dinner with

Jeannie & Eldy!
