Flies 50, Bill 8.
I have to tell you the Stable Flies have been a real pain in the, well, ankles. These damn things bite like hell, but can’t seem to get higher than the knee. We are not talking about mosquito itchy bites. The little buggers hurt! They tend to fool you because they look just like a common housefly. We made a special trip out of the park to a mini mart so we could arm ourselves with fly swatters. Curt refers to it as hillbilly hand fishing. Here are Curt and Elly with their defenses up.
We have been pressing Curt to provide fish and today he came through with two nice size Bluefish that he grilled to perfection this evening. We have been blessed with great weather this week and have eaten very well.
Tomorrow we depart. Curt and Elly return to Orlando and Barbara and I continue up to Ft Rucker, AL for the weekend. We are already discussing a return next year about this time since the temperature and humidity are lower in October. We have had a great time here at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. The beaches are fantastic, there are miles of roads to bike on, and good fishing for those that know what they are doing. We can highly recommend the park.
Next we are off to Ft. Rucker, Al and the home of Army Aviation. They have a campground on Lake Tholocco. I have not seen the lake since 1966, but I hope it is still nice. We will see. The main reason for the trip is for Barbara to see the museum.
