Family Wedding in Pidgeon Forge

 A couple of weekends under our collective belt, and it is on the way to a bigger challenge...  further away and a longer stay...   

Work continues to get in the way of longer trips, but in a few months that will not be a problem!  Retirement is near....  

A family wedding draws us for a whole FOUR days in Pidgeon Forge, TN...   The wedding had been planned for weeks, and we were going...  and with a brand new camper...  and since Pidgeon Forge is not too far away..   well, it just seemed like kismet...  meant to be...  

The venue was on the top of a "mountain" with a wonderful view...


Complete with a rainbow!!




And a beautiful sunset...

Fort Meyers

 Naples and Ft Meyers, Florida After a few days staying in the middle of the Everglades, a bit of a change to stay at the KOA Campground in Naples / Marco Island on the southwestern coast of Florida.  We had a small site right near the pool.  The sites were a bit close together, and our neighbors were a bit noisy late at night, but that is part of campground life...   for better or worse. Cape Romano  In 1979 Bob Lee, a retired businessman built a house consisting of a set of four domes on a the small Morgan Island near Marco Island.  The story we were told was that he built the house as a vacation house, but also to be the anchor point for a new island development off Marco Island.  The new development that would need  bridge from the larger island.  Seems that as the world progressed, the increased emphasis on natural areas reduced the likelihood that the bridge would ever be built.  The Domed home laid idle, passed hands a few ti...

 Florida Keys    Off to the primary destination of this trip...   The Florida Keys...   Marathon, Key West and the Dry Tortugas...  Places that we have been looking forward to seeing for the past few years...  The best destination for our first major trip!! But on the way down, we had to stop at the " Robert is Here " fruit stand.  A special fruit stand that was founded in 1959 when a young boy started selling fruit on a corner in Homestead Florida...  Still active today and well known in the media it is a great stop on the way to the Keys.   Just a little bit out of the way, but well worth the slight detour.  Famous for their exotic fruit, milkshakes and... we particularly like the salsa...   great salsa...   Marathon We based our Keys exploration out of Marathon, and stayed at the Jolly Roger RV Resort , right on the sea wall.  A great site!!   And some great sunset views from...

 Everglades National Park One word - nowhereland...  well, kinda a word...  but the Everglades is really a National Park full of pretty much nothing...  Well, unless you are a Florida Panther, an Alligator or one of a dozen different kind of birds...   And...   no cell service (actually AT&T only)... but we did have 30/50A electric, a dump station and a water spigot to refill our fresh water tank... and very quiet, dark at night...  a bit of a different RV camping environment... We liked it... The Flamingo campground has sites that are large, and separated... 'course the West Indian Mahogany tree right above the trailer was shedding seed balls that would bang off the roof in the middle of the night...    but other than that, the campground was the quietest place we have ever camped... There were a few Black Vultures flying around...  at least they stayed away from the windshield wipers.  Evidently (from more than a cou...
