Peace River Visit!

 Wednesday 17 February 2021

     Nothing much happening today.   Calling for rain and temps only in the 60's.  The rain quit around 10 but we had a heavy mist/drizzle until 3 or so. Diane did manage to get to the Bealls Outlet store but that was about it.

    Today we had big plans for a fun and exciting day.  We headed over to Sebring (30 miles away) for lunch, a couple of antique stores and coin store. A nice day temps in the low 80's but not real sunny so it was comfortable.  We couldn't find anything so we stopped for lunch and a chance to search google.  We ate at a road side place called Mango's Cuban Café.  Guess what the special was, that's it a Cuban, so we split a sandwich and water not all that exciting but we did end up finding the stores.  The coin store closed, the flea market was only on weekend, antique mall was large but disappointing and second antique store no longer in business.  As we were leaving Diane saw an estate sale sign we made a U-turn and pulled right in.  I found two kerosene lanterns for 20 bucks and Diane scored big with a cheese grater. It was a nice day and all in all we had a good time. Pot roast was cooking all day so the house smelled so good when we got home.  Wine on the patio and then dinner.

OK, as I was walking past this Moho I noticed this Minion tracking me.  It just made me laugh, I had to go back to get Brad and show him.  As we were checking it out the owner came out and said it was a tracking camera.  We just had a hoot with him the rest of his stay there.  😂😂😂😂😂

    We finally accomplished what we set out to due today.  A nice day, temps in the mid 70's and mostly sunny.  We went down to Arcadia for lunch and some antique shopping.  First was lunch at Magnolia Street Seafood and Grill, I had broiled seafood platter with shrimp, fish, scallops and a crab cake (which was actually pretty good). and Diane had the Blackened scallop platter.  The food was great, the first good seafood we have had in a while.  We headed to the antique store which turned out to be at ‎least‎  ten stores, maybe more.  We had to head home before we hit them all.  I guessed we needed to save some for the next time. We got back around 4 pm a couple of nice walks around the park.  Salad for dinner.

   A lovely day today temp's in the low 70's and plenty of sunshine.  We drove down to Alva to visit with Jen and Greg.  The ride down took a lot longer than we thought, first we stopped at the antique store to double check on an item but the store was closed.  When we got back in the car Diane noticed a coffee shop right at the car,  so we went to get coffee.  Back on the road for a while and we finished the coffee and not long until we needed a bathroom break.  We finally arrive about 11 visited for awhile then went down to the river for lunch.  Again what a nice day.  After lunch we went back to their camper chatted a while and headed home about 3:00-3:30.

    We had breakfast cooked on the grill and slowly started packing up for our trip north tomorrow.  We took a few walks down by the river and to check out the rest of the campground.  There are quite a few "full timing families" here.  You know winter camping used to be mostly retired folks.  Parents were working at the office and the kids were in school but now with COVID and home schooling the little buggers are out during the winter months.  They are starting to take campsites meant for the old people.  Next was a call about our RV and was it still for sale.  They were very interested in it and were coming down to see it.  We told them we were moving and they would called us tomorrow.  We were excited started planning our next  adventure.  Chicken on the grill and off to bed to toss and turn and think, just couldn't turn off on minds.

Beautiful trail down by the Peace River.

   We were up early still half excited about the interest in the Moho.  We were packed and on the road about 10:40 for the 100 mile drive back to Country Side campground.  After a short stop for lunch we pulled in at 2pm. Way to early for happy hour.  We got every thing arranged and ready for the evening. Diane had to go get propane for the grill while I put up the TV antenna.  There were a lot of ant hills around the camper so I sprayed (saving Rudy I hope).  Just before happy hour started the phone rang and the RV buyer wants the RV and wants it by Monday.  Plan is he flies down Saturday to look and drives it home on Monday.  Well Holy Crap  We dropped the wine and started making phone calls Diane was looking for a place to stay while I looked for storage unit and a place to transfer the title.  By bed time we were exhausted but our brains were in high gear.  How or even could we pull this off.
