Picture of Paul honouring the Sun God!  He shouldn't be this white in a few days, off comes the sweater from the Great White North.  We are going under cover again for a few days, place called Gamble Rogers State Park on a white,white beach, Gamble Rogers was a famous Florida Folk Singer!  Sitting in a beachside beanery using the wi-fi and eating almost vegetarian!  Aiming for Leesville ,Louisiana on Valentines Day!

We're Back, seven days off the grid as Trish calls it!  Last Monday we drove for fifty miles and seen nothing but gated communities, so where do we end up? In a gated community, guards with sidearms, it was great, it's called a Florida State Park, lots of wildlife, lots of wild weather, torrential rains a few nights but all in all very restful. After the ten day drive  to Florida the week in the park was very welcome!  Except for two nights of Arctic Air, which was blamed on us, we had normal temperatures , seventy degrees each day!       Air-conditioning on today in truck as we head for St. Augustine for another couple of days in another state park.
      Trish is waxing poetic:  "After all visitations and tribulations
                                           Our vacation in the Sun, has begun"

Yum, yum, enjoyed an Orange for breakfast, picked right outside our camper last evening, in Yulee! You may not hear from us for a few days, no wi-fi in the state park, we are heading to Little Talbot Island State Park to decompress, no traffic noises, no internet, no noisy Cornhole players, see you in a few days. Keep those comments coming, love them!

Yippee!,  we are in Yulee, Florida, just across the border from Georgia. All that way on backroads, then we were forced on to the I-95 Interstate to cross into the Sunshine State, the bridge was out on #17 highway,but the Sun was out and exactly 70 degrees when we crossed the St. Mary's  river,Yippee again! Saw many hawks during the day, liquor outlets were all closed Sunday morning in Georgia, we seen a antique place that advertised,  "Dead people's Stuff for Sale"! No trouble finding the wine store in Florida, right next to the campground!  Sat outside in the Sun for two hours, sipping,smoking,and shooting the shit about our ten days of cold days and nights to get here! Just knocked two oranges out of the tree with our snow brush,comes in handy even in the warm weather, we also got two lemons, larger than the oranges! While we sat and sipped we watched our neighbours play Cornhole, we plan to introduce Cornhole to Chester next summer!

Another day ,another State, we are in Georgia, the Peach State, will be looking for a peach for breakfast, last time we tried, we drove into an advertised stand, they said the peach man died, they were all pretty well-dressed, the funeral meal was taking place behind the stand.
We saw a Cardinal, the state bird and eight hawks, we have seen a hawk each day since Maine. Cotton is bundled in the fields , some the size of our hay bundles and then some the size of a tractor-trailer, those carried on the trucks lose pieces along the road, it's everywhere!  Unpicked  cotton  fields look like snow, ugh!  60 ounces of wine, bread, toilet paper, paper towels, eggs, and two cans of lasagna,all for under twenty dollars! We saw a large fox with a baby raccoon in it's mouth!  Sleeping in Statesboro, Georgia, this is the ninth day,since we entered the US of A!

The pumps were closed when we got here  !

Can you guess which Wally World Star we are sleeping under tonight ?
