February 1

We packed up this morning, saying goodbye to new friends and a beautiful resort. Before leaving we took a last walk with Gus around the resort, watched a group playing shuffleboard, stopped at the farmers market for Watermelon, peppers, tomatoes, limes, and onions. There was also a food truck on site but we did not get anything there. It all looked good but we had had breakfast on our own and needed to be out of our site before 11 am. 

We traveled about 85 miles north to Bradenton, FL and Lake Manatee State Park. We have not been here for several years, but it is a lively park. The negative is that it's only 30 Amp plus 20 Amp. The refrigerator gets plugged in separately which helps. We can run only one major appliance at a time so we must be careful. Thankfully the weather forecast is for mild temperatures day and night so we shouldn't need much heat or AC. 

We are all set up including the CLAM. It gives us a place to keep things dry should it rain, and an extra "room" if the bugs become active.
