Eggs and bacon cooked on the grill and we enjoyed our last morning in the Everglades with temps in the mid 80's and plenty of sun shine. Nothing to exciting today we sloooowly cleaned and started packing for our trip tomorrow. Rudy is in full sheading mode so lots of vacuuming. We did return to the restaurant across the street (Havana Café) for lunch and you won't believe what I had...yep, a the grouper special and Diane had the blackened scallop dinner both were excellent. We took a nice walk around the campground, talked to a few people. This is one of those campground where you buy your site and the comments were interesting of who made out and then the guy beside us tells us his boat dock collapsed just months after he bought it. Any way, back to the Moho finished up our cleaning poured a glass of wine and sat on the dock one last night. A beautiful afternoon and evening.

Up and moving like normal until I went outside and it looked like the pelicans used the truck for target practice. I mean 5 or 6 very large poop splatters on the hood and window. It was so bad the splatter reached the front of the Moho. So I had to get hose and washing stuff out that I put away yesterday so we could get a head start today. Oh well! We were packed and rolling by 10. I pulled out to go get fuel while Diane return cable box etc to the office. I hit the windshield washer on the Moho to get the rest of the stuff off and BANG the whole wiper arm fell off and got stuck in trim around the generator. Everything was stationary so I keep going and the phone rings Diane is in the office and I have the cable remote so I pull over about 5 miles away and wait for her to come get it. While I'm waiting I tried to put the wiper arm back on I think I got it. She pulls in gets the remote and points out I missed a pile of bird poop on passenger side window and pretty much covering the mirror on that side. We used a bottle of water to clean it enough to see to drive. She returns to the office to return the remote while I get fuel (3.49 a gal). She finally met up with us so we hook up the truck, made some coffee and off we go. We weren't 20 miles down the road and there is diesel for 2.69 and it varied 2.69 to 2.89 all the up to the campground. Just our luck. We made it and even got lucky missing most of the storms that passed by the area. Our campsite is nice and the whole campground is nice, clean and well maintained.

Slow getting up this morning temps down in mid 50's. The storms have passed but the wind has
not. Rudy and I froze on our walk this morning and it was after 8 until he got out bed. We had a lot of road noise here last night, something we haven't had for a long time. Not only that I had to wear shoe and socks today for the first time in three weeks. Lots of sun and it did warm up a bit by noon. Diane made breakfast, did laundry and went to the grocery store. I finished getting the Moho set up, sewer connected, bike and bike rack off the truck, and the grill set up and ready to go when it warms up. We took Rudy for a walk around the park found the dog park, a nice sized one. Big day coming up tomorrow as Diane returns for her 3 week check up and hopefully she can start rehab and SOON regain the normal use of her hand.
