But what an introduction for someone who had never been to Florida. Many folks see it through Mickey and Minnie first. David didn't want to come here because he thought the whole state was wall to wall "old folks". :-) After all our state park visits, he knows differently now. Can you put in your application to camphost and get on a waiting list? People do get tired of being the same place some times.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-50034039625526684252013-05-09T11:41:48.001-04:002013-05-09T11:41:48.001-04:00That was quite a clever Live Oak display in the VC...That was quite a clever Live Oak display in the VC.

We really would love to camphost there, but I think the jobs are taken up by the long-term camphosts..wouldn't you want to be there forever!? We stayed in loop E. There is a bike trail that runs from Loop E to the Fort. Not much riding on the road at all. We found the road to be easy though. Make sure to walk from the bay side to the gulf side around the beach..it is wonderful!owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-20627990544987073742013-05-09T11:04:23.000-04:002013-05-09T11:04:23.000-04:00Well the apple fritter was fantastic.

I knew you'd love Fort Pickens. There may be some military jets flying over occasionally, but no more Blue Angels flights. And if the wind is blowing right, you might hear the anthem and reveille in the a.m -- about 8. You can make a great walking loop on the beach by exiting from the trail (I think it was near site 15) to the Pensacola Bay side, walk all the way to and around the tip of Fort Pickens and back along the gulf. When we were there, most of the bird life was definitely on the Pensacola Beach side. There's also a nice wetlands trail that connects A to B-E, and on the far end of E, a short trail to one of the batteries. We biked there a lot ... never a whole lot of traffic, but that was in January. Sunset from atop one of the batteries overlooking the tip of the island. Have fun.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.com
