Our travels were intended to start yesterday but we did not quite get ready in time so we are headed west out of Crawfordsville today! Our goal is Yellowstone for our reservations at the end of next week and to have a leisurely trip and do some sight seeing along the way. We are fairly confident we have everything on board we need----just don't have it all in it's proper spot yet!---that is going to be our project on the way out---to get 'organized! I have noticed as I have gotten older that the concept of 'getting organized' seems to be more and more elusive!
I was having trouble posting pictures at the end of our travels last year, so hopefully it will work better now!
Yeah!! I just inserted a picture from last year in Fort Collins and it worked!!
Now, to 'go back' and catch up, I will post some photos and what I can remember as a narrative!
We visited Dad at Ft. Pierce and ate several times at the Tiki Hut at this marina.
We enjoyed our first Swamp Cabbage Festival in LaBelle, Florida---Let's just say that the parade was like none we have ever experienced before!! Swamp cabbage is scraped from the inside of the Sabal Palm....they prepared it in a variety of different ways and I did taste it---but probably will not do that again!!

Key West sunset |
This photo was taken in Key West at Mallory Square which is THE location for viewing sunsets! There were lots of tourists and several street actors performing each evening as the sun set. Beautiful!
Linda and Joe had given us lots of good advice on places to eat and things to see so we had a really nice visit to the southern most point of the United States.
The next is just a cute Key West cottage--and a famous descendant of Ernest Hemingway's chickens.
We made another excursion to Everglades City and visited the famous Rod and Gun Club, took an air-boat tour of the everglades and found a delightful cafe on the water for dinner where the entertainment for the evening was one of the guitar players from our weekly trip to the Moose in LaBelle!! Fun times!
Our only wildlife sighting on the Everglades tour! |
So there you have the short version of last year's travels! Now I will start with the new!
Resting in Billings, Montana....Debbie and John
