We were up at the crack of noon! A cup of coffee and a bit of yogurt and off we went. Luckily there is a self-serve gas station just as we left the campground, so we topped off before leaving the base. We needed to get to the Sanibel campground by four, so stopping for fuel once underway would not be good.
The traffic coming back to the mainland wasn’t bad, but a lot of the way the speed limit is only 45 MPH. It is a long slog, but the scenery is superb.
After the long eastward leg to leave the keys we did a 180 and headed west to the gulf coast via FL Hwy41, the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades. The scenery is much different since you are running through a trough in the trees the majority of the way. We occupied our time looking for alligators and other critters.
We made it to Sanibel around three-thirty and set up camp. Barbara could not wait, so off to the beach we went in search of shells. She found a few, but the shore was pretty well picked over by the time we got out there. There is always tomorrow.
In the mean time there is always DWTS, the finale! Yep, even on the road.
