Melvin finds his own Castle
1-22-15
Today we took a 60 mile drive to Fort Meyers. Nothing to talk about along the way, but plenty when we got there. First we just meandered through downtown and then headed South along the shoreline. Well, as close as we could get. We admired all the lovely homes a a string of McMansions. Including Henry Ford's and his friend Thomas Edison's.
While searching for a dog friendly public beach, we stumbled upon a Perkins and stopped in for lunch. In just a few more miles we found the beach for us. Lovely soft powdery, white sand. Oscar enjoyed a long walk on the beach with Ruth and I. During our walk we happened to see Melvin sitting on top of his sand Castle.
After a 15 minute talk with some fellow snow birds from Minnesota we left the beach and went in search of Pine Island. Our Bradford neighbor has a seldom used winter home there. We didn't have her address with us so we just drove around until Ruth spotted a RVCampground.
OK I say we'll stop in for a quick look. By the time we left, we had reserved a spot for next week! Guess we'll be seeing more of the Fort Meyer's area and putting in some beach time. It was 86 and all blue sky today.
It was dark by the time we headed back to our CG. In the tiny town of La Bell I got the blue light special. I had just made a "U turn" and thought I missed a sign. No, he had spotted one of my head lights out. Blah,blah, blah, and drive safely sir.
If all goes well tomorrow we're headed out for a airboat ride in the Everglades.
