Patrick AFB to Lake Louisa State Park

This morning we started breaking camp to head over to Lake Louise State Park near Clermont. Mike had dumped our tanks and I had gotten the inside ready to leave and had the slides in. But when we started to stow the jacks, the left rear jack wouldn't retract. Since we were nearing the checkout time, I went up to the office to tell the camp host about our problem. She said no problem and wanted to know if there was anything she or her husband could do to help. I told her how much we had enjoyed staying at the FamCamp and we look forward to coming back someday.

Mike finally got the jack stowed and we headed out about 11:45 a.m. But when we got to the exit gate we found out that all traffic in and out of Patrick AFB was halted. Apparently there was some kind of security risk (we never found out what it was) and no one could leave or enter. After sitting there for over 1/2 hour, we decided to have lunch. Just as I started to prepare our sandwiches, the gates were opened and we could leave. 

We headed south on A1A to SR-404 (Pineda Causeway) the west to CR-509 to CR-518 to get on I-95 south. We were only on I-95 for about 3 miles when we turned west onto US-192. We drove west on US-192 through Kissimmee to US-27 north. We drove north on US-27 about 10 miles to arrive at Lake Louisa State Park at 3:15 p.m. We only traveled 93 miles today.

Since Mike had made our reservation last month, all we had to do was check-in and get our map of the campground and directions to our campsite. After a winding 3 mile drive from the park entrance we arrived at site #35 in the Sandhill Loop.

Mike said he will take photos of our site and the campground tomorrow.
