Last Chance...

... to see the sun as it sets. Wednesday evening we went out to Sunset Point here at the Fiesta Key KOA. It's a thatched pole shelter at a point overlooking the water where people gather in the evenings to view the sunset. This particular one was spectacular, lasting about 4 minutes from start to finish. The campground is fairly quiet with a lot of open sites, so it was pretty interesting to see 20 or more people emerge and gather for this event of such short duration.
This campground affords us a lot more room than our previous experience at Boyd's. Here we can park both vehicles and put our chairs in front of the tent. Since the campground is not too crowded, we are able to sprawl into the next site which is VERY nice :) This gives us two tables, ample grass for the dogs to laze around in, and still room for our clothesline.
Richard and I enjoy camping quite a bit. Our big tent is a bit cumbersome for overnight stops however, and we may opt for bringing our little backpacking tent on a traveling road trip. This one is nice though for multiple nights. Once it is fully set up it has the traditional sleeping room, a screened porch, and the back has a flap that, when raised and tied off, creates a little porch (we are not using that feature on this trip).
How many tenters/ campers are there in blog land? Any stories you'd like to share? Post them on this blog as a comment, or email them to me at fiddlehedz@yahoo.com I'd love to hear from you!
