Travelling to Destin RV Resort
Friday, Feb.22
Wonderful fog this morning at 18C. Great day to take pictures only we’re leaving. While Al takes care of garbage & dumping duties, I find some white flowers growing on a rose-like vine. On our way out of the park I spot some very tall, perhaps thistle in bloom. Absolutely stunning in the fog. Of course we don’t stop. However I insist on ‘borrowing’ WiFi from The Subway to post yesterday on the blog. If the pictures don’t follow any order, well rack that up against the pressure I’m under with the driver of this actually stays up on his board so I can get a picture.vehicle asking ‘are you done yet? Are you done yet? You probably get the idea that I was quite entranced with what I believe are rosemary flowers.
We’re following the coastline on #98 west. Port St. Joe provides a brief respite from the dense fog. Some lovely homes & beach. Mexico Beach as befits its name looks more like a tourist/vacation town. The Forgotten Coastline continues to provide miles and miles of beautiful white sand beaches.
#98 passes through the middle of Tyndall Air Force, until now just a name on the map. It goes for miles with parking lots full of cars, a very impressive main entrance and well kept housing.
We check out the local Ford dealer in Panama City to see if we can get an oil change. No such luck; 3 cars waiting and it’s lunchtime. We head for #98 alt which runs along the beach, stopping at Bay County Pier Pavillon where parking is free. Someone is feeding the sea gulls and someone else is going surfing. Lots of good breakers but it’s going to be a while before this fellow actually stands up and stays up. Lots of skyscraper hotels along the shore as we continue our journey west into very quickly darkening skies.
Speaking of rain, this area sure got hit yesterday flooding some major roads. And now it’s producing more again. We arrive at Destin RV Resort. Oh my! An immaculately landscaped grouping of 36 trailer sites on concrete & interlocking tiles, each site with precisely trenched gardens of azalea, palms, grasses, ... complete with terrazo table & benches for outdoor dining. The question is - how will the dogs manage in such a manicured situation.
