We left the Sarasota area and Oscar Scherer State Park on Monday and are now at W P Franklin Army Corp of Engineers Campground east of Ft Meyers. This camp was built by the ACoE in conjunction with a lock to service boat traffic on the Caloosahatchee River which drains Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico. We are about 20 miles inland from Ft Meyers. The campground is very nice and super clean, but there is just not a lot to do other than fish and kayak. (Wait a minute, that's really not so bad).
The locals are catching a few really nice snook here, and the tarpon fishing is supposed to be great at times. Our neighbors are catching mullet every day from their campsite on the water, but I really don't crave mullet so I'm leaving them alone.
We will be here until Friday and then move north to Mayaka River State Park and we will see Becky and Laura and their families in Siesta Key this weekend. Looking forward to seeing them and the grandkids.
I'll get back into my blogging when Wifi signals are better.
All is well with us and we hope everyone else is doing well too.
