More Florida

After 2 nights here in John Prince County Park in Lake Worth, we’re set to move to Titusville for 3 nights.  It should be an easy day today, only 2.5 hr drive, but alas, Toad has a slow leak in a tire.  So, we’re looking for a nearby tire shop and will haul him in for hopefully a quick fix. 

Ibis, Great Blue Heron and one lonely Egret

However, I want to report on the park here.  It’s beautiful!  Big open green spaces set well back from the city around it.  It’s quiet, if you don’t mind the occasional plane noise from the nearby small airport.  The sites are situated along winding roads and cul de sacs.  It’s peaceful and pleasant and waterways flow throughout the park.  There’s also a golf course and “golf education” center.  Apparently you can stay for up to 5 months here, though the most premium sites along the water have a 2 week limit.  There are lots of Canadians here and who can blame them.  No matter how far south you go in Canada, it’s still damn cold.

Bikes ready

Great Blue Heron and Cormorant

 One of the best features of the park is that it’s flat.  So, after 2 trips, 5 months and 5000 miles, the bikes finally came off the bike rack!  The chains were oiled, the tires inflated, seats adjusted and we rode our bikes.  Yeah!  The weather was perfect, the landscape friendly, the wildlife accommodating and no one fell.  A lovely day.

RIDING

Another lovely feature of the park is the honey-wagon.  Yes, because many of the sites have no sewer connections, for the low fee of $8 you can have someone come and empty your black water tank (note, I didn’t say dump).  We didn’t have to take advantage of the service, having planned ahead and having enough capacity, but next time….  And whenever you think your job might be sort of crappy…think about being the honey-wagon operator.

So off to the tire store.     

Wish us luck.
