Our destination is Key West but getting there is the real trip. We will be traveling down the west coast of Florida to the Everglades and on to Key West. We never really know what we will discover along the way. Hope you enjoy following along.

Shiver Me Timbers and Blow Me Down

We finally made it to Fort De Soto on the Gulf Coast south of Saint Petersburg.  We drove 3 hours with a sustained 40 mile an hour crosswind. Remember, we are driving basically a giant shoe box with 2 giant hot dogs strapped to the roof.  At what point can we legitimately be peeved about the weather?  We signed up for 75 and sunny and that's not what's being delivered.  On the positive side, we met Rebecca and Bill, fellow Westfalia  owners staying in the campground. We had a nice happy hour together while the wind continued to howl outside the camper. 
Update on the place we stayed last night. While loading the car a tour went by and described the place we stayed as previously being a funeral home. Glad we didn't know it while staying there.
Hope to report out in the morning and we don't get blown off the island.
