North Beach, Florida
Wednesday, February 24, 2021 Martha was ready for a walk on the beach, so we picked up Ruff and walked on the beautiful North Beach at low tide. Lots of people were fishing from the beach, but no one was catching. It’s a beautiful, broad, flat beach with compact, smooth sand. The water had beautiful…

Saint Augustine Hop-on-Hop-off Tour
Tuesday, February 23, 2021 After a week on the road it was laundry morning. The laundry and bathroom/showers at North Beach Camp Resort are very nice. I caught up on the news and a few other things before everyone was ready to go at 11:30. In St. Augustine we took a hop on-hop off trolly…

Moving to St. Augustine, Florida
Monday, February 22, 2021 Martha snd I drove around Skidaway Island to get the big picture before we left. There is one road down the middle with many high-end, gated communities on each side. Some private drives had impressive gates and landscaped entrances. We got back, packed up and headed south on I95 to St.…

Skidaway Island State Park
Sunday, February 21, 2021 Our group went into Savannah for a walking food tour, but I opted to go to the great Savannah National Wildlife Preserve. When I got there, it was closed. A gentleman told me they had been closed for a long time due to Covid concerns. So I came back to Skidaway…

Skidaway State Park
Saturday, February 20, 2021 I thought I would just fix the problem of not being able to connect to my iPhone hotspot. I could connect to Martha’s phone, but not mine. Trying all kinds of things, I must have deleted the wrong .phst file, so my email didn’t work. 30 minutes later that was solved.…

Friday, February 19, 2021 Our travel day was short. It was only a 2.5-hour drive to Skidaway Island State Park. During a break in heavy rains, I hooked up. It was cold and a bit windy. My duck hunting experiences have taught me how to get along in this kind of weather, but cold rain…

The Drive From Hell
Tuesday, February 16, 2021 Our mission for the day was to drive 4 1/2 hours to Edisto Beach State Park in South Carolina. We wanted to take the ferry to Southport, but the 10:00 ferry didn’t go due to fog, so we waited for the 11:30. I took the opportunity to settle a few more…
