After a day at the circus, we headed north to Hudson, Florida. To get there, we crossed over Tampa Bay via the Skyway Bridge. The reason for going to Hudson was to have one of our fogged up double pane window repaired. We overnighted in Perry, Fla, and ML made a new friend. His name is Monroe Lee. He’s running for President, so vote for him if you see him on a ballot. From Perry, we headed west (toward home) in search of one of those fabulous white sand beaches the Florida gulf coast is famous for. As we drove leisurely along a peaceful back road, we crossed a river with boat launch under the bridge and an apparent campground. We went a couple of miles down the road to find a place to turn around. Turns out the campground was a nice little county park. We hadn’t come very far from Perry and the day was young, so after checking into the campground, we jeeped out to the coast checking out a wildlife preserve and lighthouse. Going back to camp, we embarked on the reason we stopped here. Kayaking the river. That evening we decided to try out the ‘restaurant’ on the other side of the river. This was voted the best business in Newport, Florida. That’s because it’s the only business in Newport, not counting the boiled peanut vendor under a shade tree across the road, or the Tupelo honey guy down the road at the next intersection. Here’s the honey guy. Tomorrow on to the Beach. Stay tuned.
