Saturday we left Bushnell heading to Lake Okeechobee Moose Lodge for overnight spot. We arrived about 3:30 and after analyzing the grounds we found a spot, with electric, in back of the Lodge and in

front of the Tiki Bar....not a bad place to be. :-). I think if we had some new batteries we could have spent the night parked in front under some mature pines. We had a few drinks in the lodge, then ordered dinner (Stromboli), when delivered we headed out to the RV to eat, hung out with Rudy for a while, then back in for one last drink before bed. Nice way to stop for the night.
Sunday morning we had breakfast at the lodge, eggs to order, sausage, hash browns, biscuit and coffee all for five bucks. We pulled out around 9:30 and headed to Marathon, first stopping for gas, then finding a grocery store to hook up the car and finally hit the road about 10:30. It was only 200 miles but a lot of 40-50 mph sections. We arrived at Marathon around 3:30 pm got all situated and had steaks on the grill and enjoyed the warmth.
Monday we had breakfast on the grill, got cleaned up then headed out. We stopped for lunch at
Burdine's (great food), then to the visitors center. Since we were so close we headed into Key Colony and drove around admiring the homes and development. We stopped at a little park for a stroll, walking out on the pier, just enjoying the sunshine and the water. On our way out we stopped at Sparky's for a beer or two, then headed out of there about 4:00, stopped at the grocery store then back home to save Rudy. We had dinner in, walked around the CG (very small) a couple of trips then settled in for the night.
Tuesday was another breakfast on the grill, and laundry, then off we go to do some more sight-seeing (bike ride was postponed due to wind). We found a little place called Herbie's and stopped for lunch. I had a fabulous 'Cajun Mahi Chowder' and Brad had the steamed clams, both of us having micro-brews (Brad - Sea Dog Sunfish and Diane - Golden Monkey), a nice way to top off a great meal. We stopped and got some Cards, then headed to Sombrero Beach. We did another stroll, even getting our toes in the water, walked the beach for a while, then headed in and walked around the park, what a beautiful place. After that back home a couple of walks around the CG with Rudy, Chicken on the grill over salad, staying in out of the wind for the night. Hopefully tomorrow is a little nicer.
