KEY WEST to MIAMI, OK

We arrived in Key West on December 1, 2014, and spent the month of December camped at Boyds on Stock Island just 5 miles from Mile 0 downtown KW.  Convenient but crowded, great weather of course.  January 1 we moved up the road to MM 14.5 to Bluewater Key RV Resort,  well landscaped lots with Tiki Huts all owned by individuals who rent them out when they aren't using them and some rent seasonally.  Ocean on one side, deep canal on the other with docks on both sides.  Expensive but worth it in some ways.  We left BWK on February 15, enjoyed the scenic drive up the keys and across Rt. 41 to Naples.  Camped at Marco Island KOA, convenient for an overnight stop, or longer if you desire.

Then Tuesday,  2/17, we pushed north and around the corner of the panhandle to Carabelle Beach where we spent the next two days and nights.  There is also a newer campground a little farther west on Route 98 that looks very nice.  Great little restaurant in Carabelle called The Fisherman's Wife.  Also visited St. George Island where we have a friend with a wonderful beach house, bay on one side, Gulf on the other.  State park at the end of the island there in the Gulf.

Thursday, drove to Baton Rouge, another KOA, conveniently located off I-10 and back on the next morning to Destiny Dalls RV park that sits between Lewisville and Denton.  Terrible and extensive construction and traffic along I-35 E north and south, avoid it if you can.  Two nights there, visited friends in Dallas and the Geo. W. Bush library and museum on the SMU campus. 

On the road again Sunday morning to OKC where it's colder than I care to mention but it's 19 degrees this morning, Monday, Feb 23, and snow on the ground.  Camped at Twin Fountains RV park for this week while I work in Boston and Susie visits family, not much better weather there either.  Spoiled by two and a half months in south Florida!

Have an appointment for a week from today, Monday, March 2, at Camp Newell for some service and repairs.  Then it's back to Santa Fe.  Hooray!
