NBNC>Florida: February 25 2014

A week from today we will be adieu-ing to our site 935 and venturing northbound to Frostproof Florida and leveling out at site 400 at Rainbow Resort. Here we will bide days and evenings with our good friends, The Browns, and reacquainting with others we have become hi-how-are-you residents of Rainbow.  We will begin our trek back to New Bern during the last week of March.

In the meantime, we have been keeping busy here in sunny southern Florida; shuffling on the shuffleboard, checking out coves where we may find manatees (haven't as yet), spending time with fellow rvers, and of course, our nightly happy hour with the Torberts. A great group of rvers from Michigan again hosted a fish fry that was absolutely scrumptious. The jalapeno hush puppies were made perfectly; Judy is the hush puppy queen. The fish was caught by these guys when they were enroute here via Mexico Beach on the Gulf. Everyone brought their favorite dish to share and had a great time. The sun was hot, hot, hot. Next year we will make sure we set up our chairs at 5 a.m. to grab the little shade there was to be had. As the afternoon mellowed and everyone was pretty much wilted we were treated to a jam session of a couple of guys who were really good.


This last week here we will be going to the Everglades for a twilight ranger-guided tour, taking our marine flashlight to watch the gators as the sun goes down and the moon and stars show us the other side of survival in the glades. We will also be heading to Alabama Jacks and Key Largo for one last trip.
