Packing up and heading out........

But not to the mountains..... I just like looking at some of the views from last summer's long trip and looking forward to getting away again. We've been wanting to get out on the road but preferred to stay within a few hours of home.... But, since the entire retired population is in Florida in the winter, all of the campgrounds and State parks were full. As of yesterday, the bird migration was in full force and you could hear the collective sigh from the full-time residents around the state. We happened to be on the roads yesterday and I- 75 northbound was bumper to bumper with spring breakers going home, snow birds heading north and more RV's than I could ever count returning home. It was quite an amazing site. Around here, Jan-Mar is a popular rental season and yesterday we were finally able to pick up open tee times and get a reservation at a state park.

We're heading over to the coast for a few days of beaches and kayaking and birding and some exploring. Pictures at 10...............
