Bittersweet Day

Hank Hagquist — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:15:45 +0000

Today I delivered my trailer to the new owner in Naples. It is a bittersweet day. Sad to see the trailer go as I had a lot of good times in it this year. On the other hand I look forward to moving to the Fort Myers area and starting anew. So far I've had [...]

Selling Fast

Hank Hagquist — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:00:01 +0000

Over the past few days I've put a number of my RV equipment on Criagslist. Not sure if I'm pricing the stuff too low or I just have things people want, but everything has sold within a couple of days. So far I've sold my Yamaha generator, bike carrier and scooter carrier. Still to go is [...]

Moving to North Fort Myers Florida

Hank Hagquist — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:05:34 +0000

I know, I've said I would post more updates but there has not been very much RVing news and a lot of other things going on. When I first decided to come to Florida this winter I really didn't expect to like it much from all the negative feedback I've heard from others. Everything from [...]

Ft. Myers Update

Hank Hagquist — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:48:43 +0000

I know, I haven't updated lately, just been having too much fun at Ft. Myers Beach. Not a lot of real news to report. Had to replace a front tire on the truck because of a broken belt. The trailer has been flawless with no problems to report. I am currently at Gulf Waters RV [...]

Pennekamp SP Glass Bottom Boat

Hank Hagquist — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:52:10 +0000

Yesterday I took The Spirit of Pennekamp glass bottom boat out to Molasses Reef. The story goes that the reef was named this because a ship loaded with molasses wrecked on the reef. The rescued sailors cried because molasses was used in making rum and they now couldn't make any rum. The Spirit of Pennekamp [...]

Kayaking In The Pennekamp SP Mangroves

Hank Hagquist — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:15:39 +0000

Was a nice day yesterday so decided to rent a kayak and paddle around the mangroves near the marina. John Pennekamp State Park has one and two person kayaks plus canoes to rent. It was only $12 per hour for the one person kayak and it took me about a two hours to paddle most of the [...]

Fish And Thanksgiving

Hank Hagquist — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:56:34 +0000

On Wednesday I took a half day fishing charter. The cost was $60 which I thought was reasonable for only having 7 people on the boat. They took us out about 7 miles and we did mostly flat lining. Problem was there was little current which didn't make for very good fishing. I did catch a couple bait fish [...]

Kennedy Space Center

Hank Hagquist — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:30:56 +0000

I didn't do much today in the keys except drive around and have a look around so figured now was a good time to catch up on some things. Last week I had a chance to visit the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. I was a fun visit that I really enjoyed. As you [...]

Arrived at Big Pine Key, FL

Hank Hagquist — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:24:32 +0000

I know, I haven't updated for a while. I spend 2 days at Port Canaveral and had poor internet access. I then moved to Sunshine RV Park on Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys. Will be a here a week before I move east to Pennecamp State Park in Key Largo. I'll do some updated over [...]

A Bit Of R&R

Hank Hagquist — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:05:52 +0000

Just spent yesterday taking it easy. Relaxed under the awning enjoying the 80 degree weather. I did get the truck washed, waxed and detailed. A service drives through the park every day. I seen them washing and waxing a Prevost so asked about getting my truck done, couldn't pass up the deal. I was going [...]
