THE WEATHER WE LEFT BEHIND

Friday, December 5, 2008

34 degrees this morning in Montgomery, AL but the sky was blue and the air was warming quickly. A very nice park we were at, but only as overnight stops go. Could stay there a long time for the cleanliness, but not much else for the travelers we are.

We left around 10:30 and made our way 246 miles to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, Fl. Located straight south of Montgomery, AL to Panama City, FL, then south to the park.

Can't complain - 58 degrees. Seemed warmer when the sun was out, but it clouded over and the 58 degrees seemed more like the 58 it really was than the 65+ it felt like with the sun shining.

Never seen so many "for sale" signs as there are around here. Right now, December, this area is DEAD. It may have it's busy seasons but this is not one of them. All the "for sale" signs suggest this is not a seasonal lull in activity. We feel sorry for the beautiful area!

So we are here for two nights, and maybe four, to take advantage of some sun and warmer temperatures on the way. The beach here, about 200 feet from our camp site, is pure white sand - just beautiful! But, as usual, dogs not allowed!

Got in here late, about 5:30 pm so not much time to check out the area. We are here for two nights and perhaps four, so more tomorrow.

Happy traaaails to yoooou, until -we meet -agaaaaain!! As I'm not the best singer, be happy you're just reading my little song to you.

I am sooo jealous. I just got home from work. The cold is the kind of cold that (pardon the grotesque lingo I'm about to use) makes the snot freeze in your nose after 30seconds outdoors. I think it's supposed to snow this weekend, so Gopi, Scooby and I will be spending some quality time on the couch with a big blanket and a good movie.

I'm looking forward to reading about your travels - thanks again for starting this blog!!
Love, Em
