KOA, Milton, FL, to Ft. Pickens National Park, Santa Rosa Island, FLA beautiful, sunny morning.  While Mike was in the shower I went out for a brisk walk.  Then we headed out for fuel and some breakfast.  Came back and hooked up and headed south to the Gulf shore.  Thought it would be an easy drive, but we were in the left lane and the exit for Ft. Pickens was in the right lane, so we had to turn around.  But we finally made it and eventually got set up.  Then we headed out for a couple of cocktails and something to eat.  Stopped off at the beach and checked it out.  Ft. Pickens sits on Santa Rosa barrier island.  The park sits at the end of the island and we pretty much have the beach to ourselves.  After relaxing over drinks we headed back to our site just before dark.  We’re here for seven nights.

Our site--reminds me of the Everglades, until you go to the beach.

While walking the beach we saw a couple of rays hunting--in really shallow water.
