We had scoped out Crystal River Preserve the previous day and it ticked all of our boxes – on the water, nice picnic areas, boats and no entrance fee. It was one of those days where we basically did nothing other then read, eat and go for a walk.
We had two couples come up and ask us about our Scamp travel trailer. We seem to get that a lot. After all, they’re pretty adorable and a bit different looking than many RVs.
I got to practice tying knots while we were there. It’s been almost a year since we sold our last sailboat and I was worried that I had forgotten everything. Of course, it’s easy enough to do when you’re taking your time, you’re on land and there are helpful diagrams. Nothing like tying a bowline knot under pressure on the water. Those dreaded bunny knots.
Not a bad life, just sitting on the pier and watching the boats go by. That is, until the sun starts to go down and the noseeums come out to play. Of course, their idea of playing means biting you until you legs run red with blood from itching them. Then you’re almost glad to get into your Scamper and head on out to Walmart. Almost.
We hung out at Crystal River Preserve State Park on 1 February 2015.

Sounds like a great break from Wal-Mart parking lots! I am so sorry you all are having such problems finding places to camp. Who would have thought it??
ReplyDeleteWe've ended up having to do a lot more planning and spending time trying to book things in advance, but it kind of takes the fun out of a laid back approach to travelling :-(
