I got a lot of biking in while staying for 2 weeks at Oscar Scherer State Park. The Legacy Trail runs north from south of Venice  to Sarasota. It crosses a lot of roads where they use traffic signals but in many places there are overpasses like the picture on the left. I used to call them Peggy’s mountains when she would bike with me on our tandem. Since starting my trip I have biked over 450 miles.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
On Saturday I drove about an hour south to visit my Daughter Pam and her husband Sam who recently purchased a condo in Cape Coral and plan to stay for the winter. <\/span><\/div>\n

Speaking of winter I can see we are having a cold winter in Cleveland and at my cabin in WV. I glad I’m in Florida. However it is cool down here also with highs barely in the high 60’s with lows around 50.<\/span><\/div>\n

Their small condo had enough room for me to park in their parking lot but I am staying in the condo.<\/span><\/div>\n

I love their small two bedroom condo which is only a mile from where Peggy’s parents lived back in the 70’s.<\/span><\/div>\n

We went out with some of their friends to see their favorite Bar & Restaurant, Bonita Bills, which was closing that weekend after over 30 years on Fort Myers Beach.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The large yacht behind Pam had washed up on their deck in one of the recent hurricanes and they just left it there.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I finally got a haircut riding my bike over to a nearby Great Clips.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I took a bike ride to the Yacht Club beach which was 4-1\/2 mi from their condo, I then decided to see what became of Peggy’s parents house that we sold in 1982.<\/div>\n

We will go over to their friend’s home on Friday to watch the Ohio State game and I will be leaving on Saturday 1\/11 to go to WP Franklin COA campground for two weeks on the Caloosahatchee River only 25 miles away.<\/div>\n
