Cape San Blas

Finally sending a post from our time at St. Joe Penisula State Park. Phone and internet was spotting or not at all. I didn’t feel good the time we were there, but feeling fine now. I think I had bronchitis. Never seemed to stop coughing.

This park has two different campground loops. One was in the pines and the other in the palms. We camped in the latter.

We were just over a sand dune to the beach. There was a short boardwalk there. We walked the beach quite a long way down the beach to the boardwalk to the other campground. From there we walked the boardwalk that connects the two back. The sand was so nice and so easy to walk on.

The last night before we left we walked the boardwalk to the other campground and beach back just before sunset. It was a beautiful night. One guy was out with his kayak. When the sun went down, no one clapped. Guess they don’t know that tradition in Florida!

Now in Gulf Shores at the Park. There were so many coming in at once on the first and we all had to wait until 4pm to check in. It took forever. Some ladies rushed up ahead of us from their rigs back further. (We were all in line back down the entrance road.) They got their check in and couldn’t get into the park until we got ours because Ron and Carl had them blocked. DeJongs and us both have a nice spot. We are a little ways away but not that bad. Yesterday was sunny with a north wind but not too bad. We each set up our camps. At night we went to Mo’s Barbecue. Today turned cloudy expecting rain tomorrow morning. We rode our bikes today through the entire campground. Did not see anyone we know.
