Disney, Ft. Wilderness and Miami, FL

To all of you who want to go to Dizzyworld, Ft. Wilderness is a most adequate campground.  Just be sure to get a big enough space and Loops 1400 and 600 seem OK.  Our spot was 621, convenient to bus stop, dog park and plenty big enough.  If you keep closer to the edge on the driver's side backing in, you have a bit of extra pavement on the patio side and the slide-outs still work just fine.  There is no WiFi which is amazing in this day and age but you can get a cable connection via ethernet.  I was there to attend a national conference, need the internet for work so it was a bit frustrating at first, especially since the cable guys had to come out and fix the connections.  I will not comment much on Disney except to say that at lot of their systems seem antiquated, paper records and the like, many employees seem retired and incompetent and the whole place is way too contrived, corporate and controlled for my personal tastes.

We pulled out Sunday morning, zipped on down to Miami via Sun Pass and are currently at Miami Everglades Park on a grassy parking spot in the middle of some very attractive farmland.  There are a number of people who spend the winter here and there are 37 super sites that probably have concrete pads and at least their WiFi works fine. There is a paved hiking, biking, walking trail around the perimeter of the park, and it's quite long, just short of one mile.  The park is 34 acres, 300 parking spots, a very nice swimming pool, etc.   Of course, the weather right now is superb in the 70's and 80's, clear skies and a day of catching up and some shopping lies ahead.  Stay tuned for the next installment from Key West.
