Warm weather returned,. We got in two nice bike rides and a paddle up the Caloosahatchee and then up Hickey Creek past the park area since the river had more water from Wednesday’s 1” rain. There was not much wildlife except for a few turtles. But it is a worthwhile scenic paddle.
The cool thing was three more Phoenix RV’s showed up with old friends, that we had camped last year at the same campground with Barry & Sue from MI and Fred and Joan from VA but the big surprise was Bud & Pat from the Cleveland area. It turns out they came to our home 3 years ago to see our RV to see if they liked our choice and bought the same model.
We were in Campsite 7
Barry & Sue were in Campsite 13
Fred & Joan are in Campsite 10 and Bud & Pat are in Campsite 9
Today we took a little short paddle over to the Franklin Locks which is adjacent to our island campground.
We watch the lock fill adding 2.5’ so that the boats could head upstream, Here is a sailboat proceeding out of the lock.
We stopped at the nice visitor center and then paddled the 1/2 mile back to our campsite. If you camped here without a boat it would be a 13 mile drive since there is no way to walk across the big lock.
The weather finally turned warm, red temps are above normal.
