Back at Peace River!!

 Monday 1 March 2021

    We were on the road at 9:30 went 9 miles to Love's truck stop to hook up after Diane made a quick stop at the store.  Hooked up and on the road again at 10:30.  uneventful ride down to Torrey Pine camp ground in Bowling Green about 85 miles.  A very nice CG a bit pricey $59 a night.  Very warm this afternoon but still managed a few walks. The few people we meet were very welcoming especially Santa Clause, he went to Santa training in Indiana and now is assigned to Jacksonville Fl. We now know more about being a Santa than you ever wanted to.  We did mix it up a bit today we had steak and mushrooms for dinner instead of the usual burgers.

   Another very warm day the air conditioner ran all day and night. Spent the day at campground walking around just checking the place out.  We did manage to do all the banking that needed done, bill paying and all that other stuff that shows up at the beginning of the month  

Wednesday 3 march 2021

    A very short travel day.  We pulled out about 9:30 after a couple of hard downpours.  We traveled the

whole 10 miles without stopping.  Back at Peace River we went and parked in the holding area by 10am and had to wait until 2 pm to get a spot.  But we did get our first choice so all was well.  Back to burgers for travel day even though it was a short one.

Thursday 4 March

    Had plans to meet some friends in the afternoon so decided to make breakfast.  Quite cool today especially after the few days in the high 80's.  Had to wear sweatshirts most all day.  Meet with our friends who are actually the couple that were selling their Moho from Virginia.  We sat by the river and chatted until almost 4:30.  Back home and then we walked Rudy around the park for awhile. 

Friday 5 March 2021

   The temp's were back up a bit today.  We had a quick breakfast and went down to Zolfo Springs to Pioneer Days, a tractor show and flea market etc.  We walked around for 5 hours taking a couple breaks for food.  First let me back up, we rode our bicycles down thinking we wouldn't find much. It is good to get out doing something again.  I'd guess less than 40% of the people were  wearing masks but most kept their distance.  Back to walking around a "large" flea market in no time at all we had three bays full of stuff.  Tired and ready to go home.  More stuff than we could carry I had to ride my bike back get the truck and drive down to get Diane, her bike and the bags of "important items" we purchased.  We made it back wore out sausages for dinner and big walk for Rudy.

     The rows of vendors were long, but we did manage to go up and down every aisle.  

                The next pic is part of the tractor parade.  The actually had quite a few in the parade. 

There was a Pioneer Village and the Blacksmith was there working and then

Diane just had to get this jam and try it.  The lady had given it a very unique name and it got Diane's attention  (it is very good).

Saturday 6 March 2021

  Rain steady all afternoon.  I've was a bit "belly challenged" today so I stayed home while Diane got to have fun going to Bealls Outlet, Tractor Supply and the grocery store.  In between running she even managed to do a couple loads of  laundry and made a nice dinner.
