St Andrews State Park

Yesterday we moved from St Joseph Peninsula to Panama City Beach and set up camp at St Andrews State Park for a week. This park is on the Gulf and has a lot going for it. It has a pier, a jetty area, beaches, and lots of room for biking. We had to drive through Panama City Beach to get here and it took us almost two hours in a traffic jam with all the spring breakers cruising the streets and clogging up the city. We were amazed at the crowd of college kids that come here for their spring fling! The police were set up at all the intersections trying to keep the traffic flowing and avoid gridlock with all of the cars in town. They even had to close the Walmart parking lot because cars were lining up in the street to get in and the lot was completely full!!
The park is a couple of miles past the congested area of town, and once we got here all was quiet and calm. Thank God!
Our campsite is right on the bay side of the peninsula and we have a small beach right behind the camper. We look forward to doing a lot of exploring during the week that we are here.
We see that Maple City has posted 244 inches of snowfall this winter. Hurray it is a new all time record! Gee, we really miss the fluffy white stuff!
Hope everyone is well.

A sunset at St Joseph Penninsula

We had a visit from a local resident at our campsite. Did someone say possum-on-the-half-shell?

The fluffy white stuff at our beach is sand, not snow!

Another gorgeous sunset at the beach.

And on the other side was the rising moon!

Look closely and there are about six jellyfish along the edge of the water.
