We left the campground at around noon on Sunday. Stood around talking to a guy who stays and works at Frog Creek. He said he works for them 2 days a week and in exchange gets to stay there rent free. He said he was working while we were standing there talking to him! So not to strenuous.
We went about an hour or so down the road and stopped for peanut butter sandwiches. We were in no rush. After about another hour or two we arrived at a Wal-mart in Clewiston. Went inside, made a few purchases, then I came to find out that the commander had decided this was to be our campsite for the night. At first I was not too pleased but came to agree with him. Our site had a lovely view of a pond and a sugar cane field, as you can see in the photos.
There was even an occasional visit by some cranes and herons. As the evening progressed we were joined by other campers and truck drivers. So it's a good thing we arrived early because we had the prime campsite ;-).
The next day, as we are getting ready to leave, Herb called me to the window and said look at this! Here was a couple who had just pulled in, hauled out their chairs and were camping away! We had to laugh.
As we weren't due to arrive at our campsite in Key Largo until Tuesday we were discussing whether to find another Wal-Mart or go to a campground for the night. We stopped at a Wal-Mart in Weston and they had a sign "No Camping". Herb had the idea to call our reservation and find out what it would cost to arrive a day early. They said it would be included in the monthly rate! Oh Yea! So we headed for Key Largo.
When we pulled the motorhome to our site the guy that was guiding us didn't think Herb would be able to back it in. How silly is he! It was backed in like butter. The roads aren't very wide, but he did it. When I first saw our site I wasn't too impressed. But the more we are here the more I like it. It looks like something that belongs in the Keys.
There is a path on one side of the site. That's a golf cart going thru.
The sites here are individually owned and they are all different. People can decorate them as they please. And they sure are all different. This one needs a little work, palm trees need trimming and a little raking.
As you can see it has a cover for the car too. If You turn your head just so you can see the channel behind us.
If you look really hard, you can see the water. Can you see it? Can ya?
I bought a hanging plant at Wal-Mart for $7 to hang outside. There are quite a few stites for sale too. There is one on the Gulf for $350,000. But some that aren't on the water are asking $60,000 and up. I was disappointed too because there isn't a beach here and the pool isn't working! Yikes! We got a 10% discount cause of the pool. Also, because they are individually owned not everyone is here. The site next to us is vacant. Maybe they'll show up later. Kinda nice and quiet but then you don't get to meet people either.This was taken on the path looking back at the site. Click on any photo to enlarge it.
