Winter in South Florida



This winter was spent in south Florida, at a Palm Beach County Campground called South Bay RV Campground in the town of South Bay, FL. Before getting to South Bay we stopped at Camp Blanding National Guard Base outside of Starke. Visit with Horace and Barbara in Lake City, FL we also visit with Ben and Peggy in Earleton FL. Then it was on to Lake Wales for RV repair, at Bryans Auto, Truck and RV Collision and Repair Center. The repairs took some time so we were able to stay at CJ’s and Paula’s second home. Thank you CJ and Paula! After repairs it was on to South Bay arriving Dec 6th.


We stayed in South Bay for 2 months, while there we visit with Laura a friend I grew up with. We did things like dinners out, some shopping. We spent one day taking a two tours through Lion Country Safari. We also visited Busch Wildlife Sanctuary a couple times, really like that place. We also took a weekend in January to go back to Orlando to see CJ and Paula and to get them married on the 17th of January, congratulations CJ and Paula.


Also, on a different weekend with CJ and Paula we took a trip to Blue Spring State Park to check out the Manatees. This is a nice state park and a lot of Manatees and we took a river cruise.


As of this writing we are back in Starke, FL at Camp Blanding the stay here will be about 40 days, with us leaving here on the 19th of March. We have visited our friends in Lake City and Earleton while using Camp Blanding as a home base. We were also able to visit a couple of great nieces (Ashley and Shelby) while in the area.


When we leave here we will be going to Albany Marine Corp Base in you guessed it Albany. While there we will take a side trip to Planes and Americus, which is Horace’s birth place, as well as Jimmy Carter’s.

We will leave Albany on the 26th of March and go to Adairsville, GA for how long I do not know a month or may two. Have a few doctors appointment to take care of to head for Newfoundland, Canada. I will give another update after we leave Georgia.
