I guess Florida gets away with it all because its one of the few places in the States warm and sunny this time of year.

We also try to avoid advance registrations because they limit our options and can be a headache, but your florida description is spot on and the 17 year thing made me laugh out loud. My favorite resources to find either quick or free camping are rvparky, boondockers welcome, and harvest hosts.

I assume you guys are aware of the anchoring regulations they are trying to enact that will basically close down many of the free anchorages. And, heaven forbid, if you buy a boat there you will either have to agree to leave or pay their extortionist sales and use taxes. I could have stayed there and worked on my boat, but the cost was too high so I left and am just now preparing to go back for a short period before their tax laws chase me away again.Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-51336339178898425672015-02-11T06:18:33.841-08:002015-02-11T06:18:33.841-08:00We have never been to Florida..don't think it ...We have never been to Florida..don't think it will be high on our list..no offense to those snowbirds lounging by the pool....<br />but these Dodo birds are going to stay in the west, at least till we get our wings!<br />Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.com
