Lake Manatee State Park to "The Resort" SKP Park, Wauchula, Florida

YEAR 2 DAY 269

 

Today was sunny and hot. Too much humidity !

This morning I did a couple of minor maintenance chores, then took Bo for an obedience session. We prepared for departure, and left Lake Manatee State Park. We drove about an hour east on Hwy. 64 to "The Resort" SKP Co-op Park. The things we had heard about the snootiness of the Resort proved to be true. We got settled into our site, put out the lawn chairs, hooked Bo up to his rope, and put Teddy into his tent.

We had lunch. I read for awhile, then napped. We went to the clubhouse for social hour, as advertised in the park's brochure given to new arrivals. It wasn't there. It's some place else ... tomorrow. That sort of pissed me off. We decided to go into town and pick up our mail. We drove into Wauchula and found the Post Office. It was already closed. We found a mall with a water refill station, and refilled a few jugs of water. We found Wal-Mart, and while Joanne went inside to buy a few items, I went and filled Dee-Dee with diesel. As we drove back towards The Resort, Joanne wanted to stop at Sonic for a banana split. Okay ... we shared a banana split, then returned to the trailer.

I prepared an application to Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge in northern Louisiana for a WorkCamper job next November and December. I know their 2 Volunteer positions are filled for that time, but things change, people cancel, etc.. I pulled out the barbecue, and prepared cheese burgers and barbecued yams for supper. After supper, I did today's accounting and worked on today's journal entry while we watched The Apprentice.
