May 10, Topsail Hil Preserve State Park

Managed to get an extra night at Topsail, yesterday conditions were Red flag, ie the wind was howling so we just could'nt swim, today was even worse Red and Purple flag meaning Jelly Fish and Sting Ray in water but the wind was much calmer.
Went down to the beach in the morning and decided not to risk it but in the afternoon time had run out, tomorrow we leave, no Jelly Fish in sight, calm weather, beautiful sea, we had a great swim, no stings or upsets, sometimes you just have to take a plunge.

May 8, Topsail Reserve Stae Park, Florida

After having 4 days of doing nothing in a very nice park, today we moved on to our favourite park on the Gulf Coast, Top Sail Hill State Preserve.  We have a lovely site, took the trolley down to the beach this afternoon for our first swim.  The wind was blowing, the surf was a little rough but we still enjoyed our swim.   The park runs a "trolley" that being a Ford truck, towing two trailers with seats, to the beach every 30 minutes.  The last time we were here we hired bikes and rode to the beach and other trails.  We are not sure whether we will do that again or just make use of the trolley.

May 5, Emerald Beach, Florida

So today we visited a REAL Gulf beach, some fellow campers, Matt and Martha, offered to take us to a nearby public beach, Navarre Beach, well at least got our feet wet.
These encounters often happen as a result of the girls chatting in the laundry.
More good news is that we managed to get 2 nights in our favourite RV park, Topsail from Wednesday on. We may have to get a hurry-up to get back to Henry in time but that's ok.

May 4, Emerald Beach RV Park

Finally arrived at the "Beach" RV park, at least we are right on the beach, not much of a beach by the looks of it.

May 3, Cattahoochee/CCC RV park

Just an overnight stop, no more no less.

May 2, Lake City Campground, Florida

A long day today, 220 Miles, heavy traffic, roadwork, massive downpour.
Tomorrow we turn left unto the I-10 for about 140 miles to an overnight stop to get to our booking at the Emerald Beach RV Resort on Saturday.

May 1, St Peterburgh Florida

Yesterday we had a fabulous visit and late lunch with our good friends Vee and Greg.
Tomorrow we will move in the direction of the Florida pan handle, we have made some reservations on the gulf and will see how that pans out.
