Warm weather returned,. We got in two nice bike rides and a paddle up the Caloosahatchee and then up Hickey Creek past the park area since the river had more water from Wednesday\u2019s 1\u201d rain. There was not much wildlife except for a few turtles. But it is a worthwhile scenic paddle.<\/p>\n

The cool thing was three more Phoenix RV\u2019s showed up with old friends, that we had camped last year at the same campground with Barry & Sue from MI and Fred and Joan from VA but the big surprise was Bud & Pat from the Cleveland area. It turns out they came to our home 3 years ago to see our RV to see if they liked our choice and bought the same model.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/a><\/p>\n

We were in Campsite 7<\/p>\n

\"Barry<\/a><\/p>\n

Barry & Sue were in Campsite 13<\/p>\n

\"Fred<\/a><\/p>\n

Fred & Joan are in Campsite 10 and Bud & Pat are in Campsite 9<\/p>\n

Today we took a little short paddle over to the Franklin Locks which is adjacent to our island campground.<\/p>\n

We watch the lock fill adding 2.5\u2019 so that the boats could head upstream,\u00a0 Here is a sailboat proceeding out of the lock.<\/p>\n

\"Manatee-Peggy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stopped at the nice visitor center and then paddled 1\/2 mile back to our campsite. If you camped here without a boat it would be a 13 mile drive since there is no way to walk across the big lock.<\/p>\n

The weather finally turned warm, red temps are above normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
