Grayton Beach, Take Two

A rarity on this trip: we are spending a second night in the same place: Grayton Beach State Park.  We realized yesterday we had no reservations for tonight.  We checked this campground and there was one site available because of a cancellation.  Problem solved.  We were told by someone we talked to during a beach walk that there were cancellations because of Canadians cancelling their US vacations because of the tariffs.  Not sure whether this is true or not, but, if so, it got us another night here.

Staying another night allowed a whole day of walking the beach, biking the Timpoochee Trail, which follows route 30A through all the beach towns along the Gulf, and kayaking the outlet of Western Lake all the way to the Gulf.  The weather was a carbon copy of yesterday, so, if I could bottle a perfect day, I would now have two bottles to enjoy later.

Spring Break is just starting over there, with cars on the beach, music, and sun-bathers

Need directions?  Look no further than here.

Awwww!

A fitting end to a great day.

Home Again

We’re home.  We made the usual stop in Shipshewana, Indiana at Deb’s favorite grocery store, then came straight home, arriving at about 1pm....
