Lakepoint resort state park, Eufaula, AL

Wednesday was a bad weather day.  It rained all day and we stayed in the camper and read, surfed internet, and watched TV.  Thursday we left St. Andrews and headed north.   Stayed the night at Lakepoint resort SP.  Today we will continue north at a very slow pace, trying to avoid freeways.  Here is the only picture for today of me setting up the Sat. Dish.   We also have a lakeview site, which we always try to get.

St. Andrews state park, Panama City, FL

Monday we left Henderson Beach SP and drove 32 miles down the road to Grayton Beach state park, where we stayed Monday night.  This place is another beautiful state park,  but not quite as nice as Henderson.  We did manage to get a water front site on one of the parks smaller lakes.  To get to the Gulf we had to ride bikes a half mile.  Left Grayton yesterday morning and wound up another 30 something miles down the road at Panama City where we got a campsite at St. Andrews State Park.  Our site is another beautiful campsite on the Grand Lagoon, which connects with the Gulf.  In the pictures below you will see the wrecked sailboat that just happens to be laying on the beach in front of our campsite.   We spent the afternoon walking the gulf beach and watching kiteboarders.  The weather did turn a little bad with clouds and light showers.  The temp is still in the high 70's.  We have seen no signs of any oil on beaches, but driving thru the beach area at Panama city was real void of any tourists.   It is off season so a lot of business's are closed.

Henderson State Park, Destin, FL

Left Gulf SP and drove to Henderson SP in Destin, FL.   This is another very beautiful campground.  Each campsite is secluded by being surrounded by shrubs and trees.  The air conditioned restrooms are emaculate with artificial flowers on the sinktops.  There is a boardwalk over the dunes to a pristine beach.  Henderson SP  ranks high on list of the country's best campgrounds.   We were awakened by squirrels this morning running around on our roof and looking in the roof vents.  The weather is perfect.   Took a long walk on the beach yesterday taking pictures.
