St Augustine is one of our favorite places in northeast Florida. The oldest city in the country it dates back to the mid 1500's. We camped at Fayver Dykes state park about fifteen miles north of town. On Sunday we took a ride into town and explored the farmers market, old town and then the fort, Castillo De San Marco which was built in the 1600's.
Our next camp was at Roger Gamble Memorial Stae Park. We were camped right on the shore with a walkway over the dune down to the beach just across the street. I tried my hand at the surf fishing, but to no avail.
We moved again after a few nights at Flagler and are now at Johnathan Dickinson State Park just outside of Jupiter. We are on the Luxahatchee river and Hobe Sound. This use to be a military training center for communications since befor the civil war. Communication techniques included flags, lanterns, morse code and even pigeons. More modern was radar training and radio communication. The base was decommisioned after World War 2 and turned over to the state of Florida for a state park.
Fruit shop near St Augustine and Fayver Dykes State Park. The shop had some of the zaniest t-shirts I've seen since we got to Florida.
