A week with Pam & Sam

I got a lot of biking in while staying for 2 weeks at Oscar Scherer State Park. The Legacy Trail runs north from south of Venice  to Sarasota. It crosses a lot of roads where they use traffic signals but in many places there are overpasses like the picture on the left. I used to call them Peggy's mountains when she would bike with me on our tandem. Since starting my trip I have biked over 450 miles.

On Saturday I drove about an hour south to visit my Daughter Pam and her husband Sam who recently purchased a condo in Cape Coral and plan to stay for the winter. 

Speaking of winter I can see we are having a cold winter in Cleveland and at my cabin in WV. I glad I'm in Florida. However it is cool down here also with highs barely in the high 60's with lows around 50.

Six Suite Condo

Their small condo had enough room for me to park in their parking lot but I am staying in the condo.

I love their small two bedroom condo which is only a mile from where Peggy's parents lived back in the 70's.

Condo Pool

We went out with some of their friends to see their favorite Bar & Restaurant, Bonita Bills, which was closing that weekend after over 30 years on Fort Myers Beach.

The large yacht behind Pam had washed up on their deck in one of the recent hurricanes and they just left it there.

I finally got a haircut riding my bike over to a nearby Great Clips.

I took a bike ride to the Yacht Club beach which was 4-1/2 mi from their condo, I then decided to see what became of Peggy's parents house that we sold in 1982.

We will go over to their friend's home on Friday to watch the Ohio State game and I will be leaving on Saturday 1/11 to go to WP Franklin COA campground for two weeks on the Caloosahatchee River only 25 miles away.
