Pig Roast Day At Miami Everglades Campground

Cynthia — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:59:44 +0000

I went over around noon to get some pictures of the pigs roasting on the spit. The meal isn’t until 6:00, but we will be working then, so I at least wanted to get a few pictures of the poor little piggies. They only got one with the head [...]

New Tires, Wiring the Element, Other Stuff

Cynthia — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:04:04 +0000

Yesterday, we took the motorhome out of the park to put new tires on it. We decided on heavy truck tires because they were more than $100.00 cheaper, and they also should last longer than RV tires. They were done by 2:00, so we had the rest of the day to do some other stuff. Today, [...]

Day at Miami Seaquarium

Cynthia — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:59:27 +0000

We went to the Miami Seaquarium today. It is way more like a small Seaworld than an aquarium, but the shows were kind of fun. We had a buy one get one coupon, so it wasn’t too expensive, but we weren’t too happy to have to pay for parking in addition to the entrance fee… I [...]

Counting Down the Days

Our last day of work in Miami will be on March 31st (38 days), and we leave on our cruise on April 4th (42 days). We anticipate starting work in Warrens, WI on May 1st (69 days), with stops in Orlando and a few other places along the way…

Hot Air Balloons Right Above Us

These were right above the motorhome this morning. We were just about to leave for work, but I had to grab the camera.

Miami Boat Show, Shorty’s BBQ, and the big storm

Cynthia — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:28:46 +0000

We got up early this morning and headed to downtown Miami for the boat show. It seems much smaller than the Ft. Lauderdale boat show that we went to in November, but there were more of the small boats we might be interested in and very few jumbo yachts. I only took a couple of [...]

Shark Valley Entrance – Everglades National Park

Cynthia — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:39:58 +0000

Shark Valley has alligators and turtles and birds, but no sharks. There is a freshwater canal that runs along the road, and during the dry season it is teeming with wildlife. The entire biking/walking trail is twelve miles, and I think I went in about 2 1/2 miles, then turned around [...]

Everglades National Park: Main Entrance To Flamingo

Cynthia — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 01:09:33 +0000

The southern main entrance to the Everglades National Park is around twenty miles from the campground. We left around 11:00 am, and spent the whole day at the park. It is $10.00 per vehicle, but that covers seven consecutive days of entry. Many parts of the Everglades are only accessible by boat, so we [...]
