Dispatch from the Road 2013: Peace River for a week

4th Mar 2013
Peace River for a week

The night before we left Orlando there was some excitement in the Campground. There was a forest fire adjacent to us and the D section had to be evacuated as a precaution. They parked RV’s on every road in the campground that was wide enough to accommodate them.

We had an uneventful and enjoyable ride down to the Peace River Thousand Trails Campground in Wauchula. Two weeks ago when we passed this way and had the flat tire Millie discovered a Latino bakery. We stopped there and loaded up on the trip south. Everything is baked fresh and displayed in cases; you cruise around the shop with a tray and tongs selecting your baked goods. It’s good eating especially with honey!

We are parked in a nice site which backs up to the Peace River. Last night we attended a concert here in the camp. It was a one man show, performed with synthesizer and keyboard and was pretty good. Today we drove to Sarasota and toured the Ringling Circus museum, art museum, family home and gardens. The circus, home, and gardens were interesting; art museums are all starting to look the same to us. I was more impressed with the building than with its art, I guess we’ve seen too many old dark paintings of 16th century ugly people.

Life is good, See you down the road!
