Myakka State Park

We stayed at Myakka state park last night. The pictures of wildlife were all seen in the wild close to our campsite. The bird with the fish is an Anhinga. It had just caught the fish and finally swallowed it whole. Left Myakka state park and went to Oscar Scherer state park. Rode bikes on the trails today. Talked to couple out riding bikes and they wanted to see camper and find out all about it. Made reservations for weekend at private campground at Fort Meyers beach. Couldn't come up with any sites at State parks, all booked up.

Little Manatee River State Park

I guess it is about time to start our travel blog again. Here is how it went so far. Left home Mar 21 and stayed the first night at Kentucky Horse park, at Lexington, Kentucky. The second day we drove to Fort Mountain State Park in north Georgia. The third day we made it to Florida staying at Lee's campground in White Springs, FL. Wanted to stay in the state park there, but was full. On the forth day we made it to Little Manatee River St. Park, where we are now. Yesterday rode bikes all around the park for a couple of hours. Been a little cool, but think it is going to warm up nicely today. Nothing exciting to report.

Day 60 Home Sweet Home

Yesterday we drove from Greenfield, IN to Delaware, OH. It felt good to be home. Here is the final info on miles, etc. The truck is a 2000 Silverado, 25oo, 6 liter V8 engine, 4X4, with a 1997 Shadow Cruiser camper, total weight 8500 lbs. We drove 7962 miles. We used 678 gallons of gas, which is 11.74 miles per gallon. Our lowest price for gas was $2.68 and highest was $3.39 per gallon. Total spent for gas was $2045. I have posted pictures of the outside of the truck and camper before, but not the inside. Here are pictures of the inside. It has microwave, refrigerator, stove/oven, 23 in. tv with satellite receiver, Internet on the Laptop, complete bath with shower, furnace, hot and cold water, and cell phone. The 2 bikes set right between the kitchen and living room while we are driving. It is completely self contained and with the batteries fully charged we can go about 5 days without hookups. Thanks to all the readers who paid attention to our boring blog. Maybe we will do this again next trip. Special thanks to Sprint Mobile Broadband for making the internet accessible while traveling, and to Google for their free Blogger.
