Old fishing pier/building ..

Feb 7, Monday..It's still raining..I don't think we are in Florida???? We decided to go over the bridges to Apalachicola,Fl to see the old waterfront docks. The sun is trying to come out. There are alot of closed up and old buildings that are sort of neat to see, but business are no longer operating. I did take a few pictures..Birds, Buildings, Antiques, Bouys, and just alot of artsy things. The town has a waterfront look to it, the old stores are now gift shops and lots of old boat items antiques for sale. After a few hours back to the Airstream.
Feb 8, Whats this?? The sun is out..it's warming up? That figures , we are leaving this island today to head south We leave around 11 am and take a drive down Rt 19 thru Perry then onto Chiefland to Manatee Springs State Park. Beautiful park in the wild trees. First thing we see is 4 deer crossing the road at the Ranger Station. We check in and head for site 36..a pullthru..Leveled , then hook up to electric...what no electric..back to the office, they can't fix it. So we move to site #98..I checked out the electric first..Yeah it works. Now I set up the rest while Mom makes supper...I am tired after a day of driving and setting up twice.. There are 2 other Airstreamers in the park, I talked to one from Alabama, they are going to Sarasota Too....ZZZZZZZZ

God Bless..AistreamHobo & Carol

February 7, 2011..AirstreamHobo Travels...St. George Island,Fl.

Here we are Monday am awaken by Rain again!! But the last few days were busy. We left my Cousin "Ginny" on friday am after a delightful thursday evening supper and catching up on news. The last time we saw her was when we at Perry Ga. in 2006.
By 8 am we are heading down the road to St. George Island. A beautiful place by the Gulf. The campground is 6 miles from town all by itself on the tip of the island east. We have water and electric hookups ($24/nite). We emptied the holding tanks before setting up camp. We are in a cozy spot of site #5 and can watch all incoming campers. We are surrounded by bushes for privacy. The camp is 2/3rds full and we see license plates from everywhere, New Mexico, Michigan,New York,Wisconsin,Maine,etc. We even saw 2 tents set up.Starting friday we are here 4 days till tues am. It is misty/cloudy all day friday &saturday..This is Florida?
Finally... Sunday(Feb 6) we see blue skies and puffy clouds. Mom and I go for a walk around the camp, it is nice and only 10 minute walk to the beach. We go over to the beach in town and walk and collect a few shells and I take pictures.
Today is Super Bowl Day!! We tried to set up the "Dish" but it doesn't work for anyone in camp. "Direct" does..I guess I will be switching soon!! After several attemps, we decided to go to town to a local "Sports Bar/Locals hangout" "Harry A's" to see the game. They put out a Free Buffet of Hot Dogs/Hamburgers/Chili/ Tacos/Melted Cheese & Stuffed Mushrooms. There are about 75 locals here enjoying the Super Bowl..they have TV's everywhere, one large screeen in the main dining room. Mom and I were in the side roomThe TV was right at our table. Our waiter was Tammi and a very good waitress. We ordered Cokes for drinks and thats all they charge us for. Of course I left her a "Big Tip" we watch the Packers & Steelers battle it out, I could tell we were in "Packer Territory" But us Steelers Fans yelled just as loud!! Great Game till the end..Yes the Packers won!! We were here from 6:30 till 10pm and had a great time. We even met a lady from Lancaster,Pa. ... Small world ain't it?
Back to camp. Here it is 9 am, monday and Raining & Thunder this time AGAIN!! I guess we will take lots of naps today. We are leaving here Tues am for the west coast down to Sarasota,Fl to the Airstream Florida State Rally. Mom and I are working registration, over 200 are expected.. I sure hope it warms up and sunny by next week!
More later in the week..God Bless AirstreamHobo and Carol
