So Day 3 was a lazy day. We got up late, didn't really motivate at all. I started to read my new book I got for Christmas, Minimalist Tiki . It came highly recommended from a number of friends. I'm less than halfway through, but if you are serious about tiki drinks, it's a great resource.
Early morning trawler sliding by for the lock. If I ever get a live aboard boat, this is the type I want. Very seaworthy with a long range.
Post breakfast view using the morning shade. Dishes from last night all washed and drying in our 'outdoor' kitchen (table, bucket, and hose) due to the plumbing issues.
I had become aware of a new state park called Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park. That was nearby the campground. It borders the south fork of the St. Lucie River. On the west side is a Martin County Regional park called Halpatiokee Regional Park. The short version is we went here instead as the other you had to call JDSP to get the gate code and this side was closer and had a bunch of Geocaches which the girls had gotten excited about.
Sometime around 2:30-3 we finally motivated over to the park and set out for the first geocache down the trail.
This was a bend in the south fork of the river.
The girls located the first cache. I didn't bother to climb through the bramble to check it out.
The second cached was near this footbridge over a gully.
Treasure! in a Lightning McQueen lunch box.
This spot was back in off the river a little in the pine flatwood. It goes from swampy cypress to flatwoods pretty quick jus like a JDSP. You can see the shadows are starting to get long. It was around 4-4:15 at this point.
Another great sunset. This time Lucy made the time lapse, I just took this one still.
The new camera has a night shot feature. It works pretty well!
Day 4, Breakfast! Saw this little guy around 7:30AM munching, We made some breakfast and slowly packed up, letting all the dew evaporate first. The girls went geocaching again by the Lock. I headed home and made it back by 1PM. At lunch and lazily unloaded the coach and put it away.
It's 3 days later and haven't looked at any of the issues I've been having. Still need to figure out the power draw that is draining down the batteries.
