Jonathan Dickinson SP, Jupiter, FL, to Clerbrook Golf
& RV Resort, Clermont, FL: Left Jupiter at 9:30 this morning.
We got on the Florida Turnpike just north of Stewart.
Stopped at one of the service plazas for lunch and then Mike took over
driving. We arrived at Clerbrook and
were set up by 2:00 . We noticed a large police presence
along the turnpike through Orlando . We figured something must be
going on. Turns out President Obama is
in town speaking at Valencia College . Thankfully we didn’t get
involved in any traffic shutdown or diversion.
Back to Clerbrook. When we signed
in at the office they told us we now need a box hooked up to our TV in order to
get cable. That wasn’t true last year,
but whatever. I didn’t want to bother
for just 4 days. We have a lot of
digital channels. But it was a moot
point because when Mike went to hook up the cable, both the outlets in the box at our site were taken. He went back to the office
and told them that and returned our box.
No comment there. Now he’s really
ticked off. Went back and told them we’d
at least like to have a picnic table at our site. Shortly after that, one was delivered. So, we have very little shade on our living
side and we can’t put the awning down because it got screwed up after we left
the Everglades . Almost couldn’t get it back
up. So we probably won’t put our chairs out. And no cable.
And we’re here for 4 nights. I’d
just as soon move on. But we can’t be in
a big hurry to leave, since it’s still cold where we’re heading. Low 80s today.
Some of the sites in here have these beautiful live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. |
