Florida - Panhandle and Gulf Coast

We leave Alabama and arrive in Florida

Over the bridge by Pensacola

Looks like we are back in civilization

Needing a place for the night and if RV parks aren't full, they are $70 a night so we find a Walmart in Panama Beach City where there is also a dog friendly section of beach

Tucson leads the way of course.

Tucson loves the beach and making new friends

and he finds a pink football

We continue on down the road

Apalachicola is a possible place to layover

The lot is filled with American Oyster Catchers

Looks like they have some competition

This boat hand keeps an eye on Tucson

It's a cute little town with shops and restaurants and some historic buildings.  Apalachicola had a huge Sponge fishing industry from the mid 1870's to the early 1920's

A nice park by the water

I'm told if you don't like oysters, the red snapper is pretty good.

More water to cross

I want to check out Cedar Key on the Gulf side of Florida for a possible place to spend the winter.

Lots to see and do in the area

It's a funky artsy fartsy kind of place.

Tucson likes snooping around

We don't stay long because we are precariously parked in town - I don't recommend taking a large motor home or 5th wheel to town.

Looks like our next stop will be Brooksville, FL where we are staying a week at an Escapee's affiliate park with a 50% discount.
