New place, easy day - Yr 1, Day 225

Naples, FL

We left the farm at 8:30, saying another fond goodbye to Marie, our host.  It was a very lovely overnight stay, especially waking up to the smell of the earth.  It was also a lovely day - sunny and in the high 70s.

Since we were already still hitched, it was very easy to pack up the things we took out and leave.  It was a 180 mile drive, and with 1 stop at a rest area, we arrived at the new campground at 12:30.  I don't know how we managed, but we landed up getting another pull-thru site, which is great because the place here is also very busy.  At least there is a little more elbow room between the sites.

This place appears to be predominantly permanent mobile homes, with a few RV sites in between them.  It's a full resort so they have a heated pool, clubhouse and a lot of planned activities.  Again, lots of folks out and about on bikes and a lot of French speaking Canadians.  Other than that, nothing special to see:

What most of the roads within the campground look like.

I understand there is a lot of stuff to do around here, especially at Marco Island which is very close (beach), but the purpose of this destination is to visit family, not pleasure.  I will meet up with my sister Mindy tomorrow.  Plans are just to hang out at her place since she has a lot of medical conditions which preclude her from traveling.  Then we leave again on Thursday to go about 40 miles north to Ft. Myers to visit my cousin Sharon.
