Happy Birthday, Shawn, and Moving On

 Today is Shawn's birthday. She and Chris are at the coast staying with her mom and step-dad. When I called, they were walking along the beach.

We left the Crystal River area today and headed north about 60 miles to a county park and campground near the Suwannee River and the Florida Nature Coast Bicycle Trail. Otter Springs Park and Campground is an honest to goodness family camping spot, complete with kids running around and swimming in the indoor pool, overall just having fun. We even saw some campfires.

Our site, #103, is a long pull through with a view of the DirecTV satellites. We're on the edge of the campground, so our area isn't as crowded as some of the more interior sites. All the sites have shared utilities, which means alternating directions parking and really close quarters if the sites are full. We're hoping we won't get a new neighbor between us and the adjacent rig.


We went out this evening after it cooled down a bit (only 83 degrees), but we had to cut our walk short because of the abundance of mosquitoes.
This morning we finally got a chance to use the fitness room at Quail Roost. It's at one end of the owners' home, but with a separate entrance. It's very well equipped with Nautilus equipment. Ken and I took turns using the treadmill and an elliptical trainer. My body is well used to the treadmill, but the elliptical action put new muscles in my calves to work.

We put out our patio mat for the first time since we left the RGV the end of April. The sites here are very sandy, so we're hoping the mat will help keep some of the sand out of the rig. Ken put out the light string too.
