Arcadia FL

Well, I am sitting here in the parking lot of WALMART in Arcadia, FL.  Been an interesting trip.  We left the Keys yesterday at 0830 and spent about 7 hours driving.  I didn't plan that part of the trip to well but that's how it goes sometimes.  We stayed at Myakka River State Park last night.  Nice park.  Karen and I took Buster for a run this morning and ended up running through the woods.  We came across a great suspended bridge that took you to a 76' tower above the treeline.  The view was great.  Buster didn't like the suspended bridge.  Too much swinging and swaying for his taste.  With all the moving around he does in the RV when we are on the road you would think that it doesn't bother him but I guess it does.  When we got back to the campsite I asked Jason and Erik if they wanted to go see the bridge and tower.  They thought it would be fun so off we headed.  It was about a 3/4 mile walk but Erik is calling it 6 :-)  We crossed the Myakka river on our way and I told the boys to keep their eyes open since they might see a gator or two.  Sure enough there were two gators floating in the river.  Now why can't I use those powers to pick lottery numbers :-)  

We are on the road to the 1000 Trails Preserve at Peace River.  Probably another 10 miles of driving to do.  That will give us a total of 45 for the day.  Back to my statement about not planning to well yesterday :-)  Our roof problem appears to be back.  It sounds like someone is knocking on the roof as we are driving down the road.  I guess we will be paying the Lazy Days service folks another call.  Oh well, at least we are using the RV enough to have these problems.  Karen and I were doing the math this morning.  We have had the RV for four months and we have slept in it 27 days.  That is almost one out of every four days!  I guess we are RV people.
