Maiden voyage and ON THE ROAD AGAIN

     Our first road trip was a short 68 miles one way. We traveled to the Orlando/Clermont Thousand Trails. It was a short six day trip to check out all the systems on the RV. No problems we didn't know about. The park was about 1/10 full.  The last time we were here the 800+ sites were all taken. What a difference when the snow birds head north. I hope all the Florida residences realize the impact the snowbirds make on their economy. 
   

    We finally got on the road after many delays. This is one of them, a new dock.

      We thought  about going to Maine, but we want to be back in Florida in August. To short a time period to go that far. So our original plan was put back into play. We headed to the Florida Keys. Even though its 3-400 miles farther south, depending where we are staying, we are hoping for a breeze from either the Gulf or the Atlantic. We wanted to get off  I 95and travel some of the back roads south. We headed to the Lake Okeechobee  area to get to route 27 south, to 997 south then to route US 1 south. On the way we traveled through some of Florida's farm land.

Sugar cane fields.

Your from where?

Our first stop was a Indian Casino for a overnight.

Even though there is no fee to stay in their lot, the $42.+ seafood buffet, plus some gambling makes up for the "no fee" stay.
