Day 22 set up at Lake George State Forest

After a quite chilly night. We woke up and got a brisk start packing things into the Jeep for our move to Lake George looking forward to this being the end of the cold snap hopefully. The drive was a quick hour and twenty minutes but when we arrived at the free camp site (reservation required) there was a couple occupying the site already and had made themselves right at home with what little they had. We agreed to move along and leave them the site, continuing on we headed to the south end of the lake for a different site with a little more traffic from the state officials. Our new location wasn't free but close. At under 9 dollars a day to have a clean portable toilet and a pump well with non potable water available and other like minded campers nearby (much better vibes here than the free site with squatters) we were happy to call this campground home for our next three days. Here are some photos of camp and a fun time lapse video of the tent setup. Thanks for tuning in.

Camp mostly set up just before sun down

    Looks like you might not be too far from Palatka. Corky Bells seafood rest, was one of G'pa's nearby favorites. Remember the pound cakes he'd bring back/ send to us all? Made there. Great food, if you need a meal when nearby! I see my last post is just about identical to the other one!! Ha ha. Love Mom

      We attempted to make the stop by corky bells. They weren't dog friendly and we were on a mission to go purchase yarn from a lady Michelle met online. Corky bells got skipped...we will make it happen next time for sure.

Returning to the blog, 10 month overview

Image
I'd like to start off by apologizing for our absence. We have been very busy traveling, working, exploring and meeting all kinds of new folks along the way. The blog will now be morphing into just that, more of a blog, rather than a chronological timeline of our adventures day to day.  (southernmost point; Key West, FL) I'll begin with a general overview of our travels over the past 10 months, then go into much more detail about the individual trips and lessons learned along the road in other entries as we go. There will be blog entries about ways to travel, food, entertainment and tips and tricks for traveling as well. (Alice with the little Key deer) Being I already have your attention, I'll begin the 10 month overview now. We left off headed to the Florida keys to vend the big pine key flea market. We did exactly that and met some amazing folks there, that welcomed us to stay on property with Alice in the future. I'm looking forward to writing...

Day 24 in St. Augustine, FL

Image
A beautiful day was in the forecast so we had a quick cup of coffee at camp and headed out for a day in St. Augustine.  Michelle found some cool yarn for sale on Facebook marketplace and it was on our way to st Augustine, so we made a stop there on our way.   Map of the area Carmen has several tee shirts from A1A Alehouse, from his Mom’s travels so we stopped there first for a late breakfast/early lunch.  Michelle had her favorite meal of shrimp & grits and a Bloody Mary. Carmen had grilled shrimp and a fried polenta cake with an IPA. We then took a short walk to Dog Rose Brewing and sampled some of their beer on a flight while hanging out on the patio. Flagler College which was originally a hotel.   Carmen taking a cigar break with the other old men.  A cool shopping area with a good variety of shops, restaurants and bars.  The oldest school ...
