January 8th, 9th, 10th - (Day 10. 11. 12) Fort Pickens CG

Friday - January 8th

Ron wasn't feeling too well most of the day (stomach bug)  so we pretty much hung around. It was overcast with more rain expected later that evening. Indeed it did rain and hard- torrential downpours for a couple of hours then gone! It sounded like the MH was being pelted with large pebbles. 




Saturday - January 9th

The sun was up and shining brightly on Saturday morning. Jewel was too! She was in the stairwell at 6:45 am so I threw on some clothes and took her for a much needed walk and bathroom break! LOL

While out walking I noticed that many of the camp sites were flooded. We were to be moving to site 57 on Sunday but it was completely flooded so we decided to go to the office to change our site if possible. I was told by some people that they have actually closed the CG  and evacuated all the campers due to significant flooding in the past. 



We stopped at the office and were able to secure  5 more days in our current site then will be moving on Friday the  15th to another site - maybe 57.  Generally we  wouldn't move for just  two days but since we have no other reservations until the 17 th we'll do the move. 

We purchased Powerball tickets and took a  ride into Pensacola Beach for a couple of hours. Although it was bright sunshine the wind made it a little chilly - around 55 degrees. We do like it a little cooler and can't take the humidity which has been at 58 %.




Sunday - January 10th 

Let's Go
Another sunny day around 58 degrees. I went to the laundromat (no septic at the sites here) and got caught  up on 2 weeks of laundry. Ron was watching football and  what an ending to the Seahawks vs Vikings. Cannot believe the Vikings missed the game winning (in this case losing) field goal. We felt so bad for the kicker. Bet he didn't sleep that night. Later we took a hike with Jewel to enjoy the weather and fresh air. 

We have spent several days doing very little and I  think it is getting to us. Can't seem to just relax for an extended period of time. We will be doing something on Monday even if it's wrong. LOL
