Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL


We were off in a cloud of dust at the break of Noon. Did I mention we have not had much rain? We are taking Jocelyn (Barbara’s grandniece) camping!

We had an uneventful trip to Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County, FL. The county has a wonderful park. The campsites are very private with plenty of foliage between them, and many open on to the water. Some of the sites are bordered by a sea wall that campers can tie boats up to. The park has a very large launching ramp area a short distance away, so many people do bring boats. The management of the campground does a nice job keeping the place clean as a whistle. This is our second time here as campers. We really enjoyed the last visit and fully expect to enjoy this one as well.

















Rear of our campsite viewed from the high water mark. We are protected from high winds by mangroves, but there is access to the water if we brought the kayaks.

















We are all set for dinner guests this evening. Hopefully it will cool off some by the time they get here. Typical Father’s Day picnic fare: Roasted Jalapenos, ribs, potato salad, baked beans.
















Jocelyn prefers the A/C, but tomorrow, ADVENTURE!
















Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads out there.
