Myakka State Park 04-2012

Hey you all! Just got back camping at this great state park. Half price over 65 Florida residents or diabled-- $15/day RV or tenting. All camping sites in three areas are RV capable with water and elect provided. The river forms two big lakes. You can fish and Kayak anywhere. The park is basically hammacks (mixed oak, pine and palms) and pine plains. Has a nice canopy walkway and tower, 28 miles of hiking trails with half a dozen primitive camping sites, off road biking trails, and even horse trails. There are concession facilities with neat gifts, snacks, basic food stuffs, beer, ice, a small cafe, air boat tours daily, canoe and kayak rental. Wonderful place to fish, and bird and animal watch. I'll go back again after I purchase a kayak.

Chattanooga Lookout Mountain Hang Gliding School

Rolled from Indianapolis to check out Lookout Mt. TN. Ruby Falls is there=1.5 hour walking into the cave and to the falls. Then on to Point Park five minutes away and the souvenir shop with a 30 minute film of the battle of Chatanooga and neat Civil War aritifacts. Next 12 miles on along the mountain ridge to the Hang Gliding School (world famous) and observations of take-offs from the launch point and then down to the landing area to see the flyers come circling down and land. I'm cutting the trip short and will return to Fort Myers Beach through Atlanta and a quick visit with Lee, Greg, and Sunny Girl. Got to get home to begin planning for moving to a new house just four door down from my present location on the island... So, bye for now. Blessings, regards, and love to all. ==mrcyogi

Indianapolis-The Cadman

Travled up from SW Kentucky, Mammoth Cave National Park, to Indianapolis to visit my old high school buddy, John Cadwalder and meet his wife Donna. We played a couple of golf rounds and renewed a friendship.

Mammoth Cave National Park

Spent 3 days here camping out. Took the Historic Cave Tour, road my bike on trails, and took a Zip line course. The neatest experience for me was when the tour guide turned the lights off in the cave. I've never experiences absolute dark; it was frightening. I'm now in Indianapolis visiting high school buddy, the Cadman--golfing for two days. Then it's off to Lookout Mountain, TN and camping out at the base of the mountain landing zone and watching the hang gliders=possibly take an intro course. We'll see.

NAS Jacksonville, DC, MD Farm

First Stop. Stayed in the NAS Jacksonville, Navy Gateway Inn overnight. Practiced golf on arrival from Fort Myers Beach and practiced again the next morning before I took off for Fort Bragg in Fayettsville, NC. Stayed overnight at the Bragg BOQ and then on to Washington, DC for 2 days bisting my friends Thomas and Betsy; then on to my Aunt Jebe's farm along the Chesapeak Bay west side for 8 days.
