I still don't know what's happening to my blogs. I have been using an IPad app that allowed me to post pictures but for some reason the app isn't working properly. If we make it some where that has public wifi I will post some photos. We have lots of alligator pics.
After our two week stay at Collier Seminole state park we ventured off to Jupiter Florida. Jupiter Florida is located on the Atlantic Ocean about 90 miles north of Miami. It's basically a high end community filled with snow birds. The area is home to Tiger Woods and his 65 million dollar new home. Hasn't any told him that there is a real estate bust in Florida? I must say that the area is beautiful filled with lots of waterways to park a boat behind your house. The weather has been great except for one day that we experience a storm that had very high winds attached to it. Jack and I were out riding the bike when we were caught in the storm. The winds were so strong that we were pushed out of he bike lane and into the traffic lane. Lucky for us we were only a block from his sisters house, so we rode there and waited for the storm to pass. When we got back to the campground our shade tent had blown down, the BBQ had blown off the table, the out door carpet was blown 30 feet from the RV, tents through out the campground were blown away, one camper's tent was blow about 200 yards away from the site landing in a tree.
We are staying at johnathan Dickenson state park. The sites are great, gravel long enough to park at 45 footer and two autos, fire pits, and bbqs. Bath roans are new the only problem with the campground is all the trees were lost in a hurricane so there is no shade. Some day when the newly plated trees are large it will be a really nice park.
One morning rented canoes right here at the campground and pebbled down the Locahotchee river. The Locahotchee river runs through the camp ground and is one of Floridas wild and senic rivers. We had a great time seeming alligators swimming in the river, ospreys in their nests feeding their young, and lots of fish jumping out of river.
Beach, bike, paddle and good food that's Jupiter. We have had some good meals, one lunch at the Mantee island Grill in Port Salarno, a short ride north of the campground where JAck and I split a wonderful portabello sandwich that was made with artichokes, olives and feta cheese. Yummy. Tonight it's off to a place called Leftovers for an oyster salad that Jack has had when he's been down here visiting his sister. He says that it's the best meal that he's ever had. We will see......
For the last couple of days we have been just enjoying the beautiful Florida weather. Yesterday we rode the bike around Jupiter Island looking for Tigers house. Of course we didnt find it. Apparently you can't see thhe house from the street, on the other hand Jupiter Island is just beautiful full on huge houses all with lush tropical landscaping ocean views or Hobe sound views, or perhaps a golf course view. Great biking very little traffic and what traffic there is is moving slow. After riding we went back to the beach on Jupiter Island to fish. Well we didn't catch any fish but we did see lots of sharks jumping out of the water. It was quite a sight.
One day we went to a St. Louis Cardinal, Florida Marlins spring trainig game. The Cardinals play in Jupiter at a new stadium complex that has new housing, restaurants, golf course and even a Scripps research center. This will be our second spring training game having gone to a Red Sox, Braves game in Fort Myers. The game was fun. The Marlins and Cardinals share a nice complex.
Tomorrow it's good bye to Jupiter and hello to St. Augustine.
