Spring Training Trip - Day 21

Since we had a relatively short way to go today, we slept in a little. After breakfast in the RV, we went to the grocery store in Destin for a few more things and checked out the beach in the park.  We decided not to take a walk because the skies were cloudy, it was windy, and just starting to rain.


We got on the road about 11:30 am and headed east along the coast.  The drive was mostly through a series of small beach towns with lots of red lights and local traffic.  The weather varied from cloudy to rain to sunshine.  The only city of consequence we went through along the coast was Panama City. It didn’t look too special in the section of town we drove through, but the highway east of town actually goes through Tyndall AFB a good looking facility (at least from the road) that would appear to be a nice duty assignment.


We finally turned off the highway and crossed a 4-mile causeway to St George Island, one of several barrier islands along this section of the Florida panhandle coast.  There is a small town (St. George) at the end of the causeway, lots of beach houses, and a few beach activity related businesses on the road to the State Park at the east end of the island about 5 miles from the causeway.  We arrived at the park about 4:00 pm local (we are now in the Eastern Time Zone), set-up the RV, and had dinner.


The park is nice, has 60 RV spots (water and electric only), and is very quiet.  It is also very popular as the Ranger said they are fully booked through the end of May. I guess we were lucky to get reservations when we called in December. The plan for tomorrow is some beach walking and maybe a short sightseeing trip around the island and anything else that might come up along the way.


If you already checked yesterday's blog, you might want to check it again.  We added information about our trip to McGuire's Pub for dinner and a few pictures from yesterday.
