Friday, February 27
We set our alarms for 4:45 am--there was a rocket launch that was supposed to put some Starlink satellites into orbit. It was scheduled for 5:20, but when the alarm went off I checked the official countdown site and discovered it had been rescheduled to 7:20. So I reset the alarm, went to the toilet, and went back to bed for two delicious hours of sleep
I woke up with baddish dreams about tornadoes and some friends I didn’t know in waking life (all made up). It was foggy outside. But, getting our coffee, we headed down to the bay anyway—maybe it would clear up. Some hope--it was very, very foggy. So much you couldn’t see any buildings or towers across the waterway.
The rocket launched on schedule but I never caught a glimpse of it. The lady
next to us said she did. But we could
all hear it! The birds out in the water were mildly disturbed.
Note to self: This is not such a bad place considering it’s in a populated area and it's crowded. People are so nice! I’d stay here again but probably only two nights, and I’d be sure to check the rocket launch schedule ahead of time.
And the wildlife refuge is awesome—I’d love to do some hiking there.
Rocket launch completed, we packed up and headed west. It's a good direction.
We arrived at the next RV park near the center of Florida. It was Whimcycle Trail Resort at Santos. And I will describe it in the next posting.
Our supper, also to be described in the next post.
