We spent the past two weeks at St Joseph Peninsula State Park near Port St Joe in the Florida panhandle. The days were all sunny and warm and we spent a lot of time on the beach and in the kayaks. Bev and Gary camped near us for the first week but left on Friday the 14th for Michigan.
Fishing was great here with sea trout and redfish on the bay side of the peninsula and pompano in the surf. We filled our freezer with fillets and even Nancy bought a fishing license for the last week of our stay (her first license ever!). She caught a couple of sea trout from her kayak and she pulled in the biggest pompano of the week. I think she is hooked now and we are going to have to get her equipped with her own gear for the years to come.
We left St Joe on Sunday morning and drove all day until we reached a campground near Athens Georgia a bit east of Atlanta. We spent a rainy night there without even unhooking the camper. This morning we finished our journey to the Ashville area and plan to spend a few days exploring here. We want to see the town, the Biltmore Mansion and estate, and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains. There is a lot to do and see here and we are looking forward to a few busy days ahead. Today is a bit murky and drizzly, but it is warming up and clearing for the next week and we are looking forward to seeing the sun again.
The trip is winding down fast and we plan on being back in Michigan on Sunday and back to the north country on Tuesday night or Wednesday.
Hope all is well with everyone reading this.
