March 21st was a travel day from Titusville to St. Augustine. About 104 miles. Weather was o.k. but a little cold and windy. After arriving at the RV park Carl and I went to Fort Matanzas, a National Monument. We took a ferry ride across a small river for a tour of the fort. Interesting history here in that the Spanish held the area for 200 years from 1565. There were Spanish Colonies here prior to the first English Colonies. After our tour of the fort we walked the nature trails.
Then we checked out the beach where the staff had intended to serve us "Mexican hot dogs". You can drive your car on the beach for a short distance there. Then we went on a search for Diesel. After arriving back at the camp the Staff served the Mexican Hot Dogs that turn out to be Hot Dogs in a Tortilla.
They let us off for lunch and shopping in St Augustin's Historic District. Carl and I had lunch at A1A Ales, a craft brewery, very good food and beer. Next stop the Fountain of Youth - Kind of hokey but more St. Augustine history. next we visited the Oldest House Museum. This is the oldest house in St Augustine, I thought it was interesting. Our last stop was at the Lightner Museum. This Museum hold various collections of Mr. Lightner. They include buttons, glass,musical instruments, quilts, shrunken head, stuffed lion, samplers and just about anything.
March 23rd, today was a travel day from St. Augustine to Brunswick GA. About 154 miles. At the 107 mile point we had an En-route stop at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. We were supposed to have a Boat Cruise into the Swamp land. On arrival it was raining with lightning and thunder. The boat cruise was cancelled. Lightning and aluminum boats don't mix.
We waited about an hour and a half to let some of the worst of the storm pass but still had a very rainy drive. Carl had to put on full rain gear to get us set up.
listen, you seem to be having too much fun without us. You must stop immediately.
