Kissimee to Vero Beach

We got up at our usual time this morning and after breakfast began to break camp. I noticed this squirrel sitting on our patio with a mouthful of nesting materials and I stopped working long enough to take a photo of him before he could run away.

From Sherwood Forest RV Resort

The local weather forecast was predicting thunderstorms for this morning and we could see the rain clouds getting closer as we were breaking camp. We pulled out of Sherwood Forest RV Resort at 10:30 just as it started to sprinkle and then the rain really started as we were driving east on US-192 towards St. Cloud. Mike drove the RV and I followed in the Vue. We didn't hitch up the car to the RV because we're stopping at Tractor Supply to get propane and we would have to disconnect the car there.

We arrived at the Tractor Supply in St. Cloud a little before 11:00 and Mike backed the RV up to their propane filling station and we got propane ($2.29 a gal) in our onboard tank and one of our portable tanks.

By the time we finished getting the propane, it was lunch time and we decided to have lunch at the Wendy's near Tractor Supply. Since it was still raining, we drove the short distance over to Wendy's and ate our lunch there instead of taking it back to the RV. After lunch we went back to the RV and hitched up the car and headed out of St. Cloud at 12:15.

We drove east on US-192 to I-95 and then south to Exit 156 at CR-512 and then east about a block to Sunshine Travel RV and arrived at 1:40. We checked in at the office and received our campground map and security gate card. By the time we got to the campground, the rain was over and we could set up the RV without getting soaked.

We are in site #188 which is a back-in campsite and we have full hook-ups. We had requested to be in site #65 that we had the last time we were here because it had a nice concrete patio. Site 188 doesn't have a patio and we are under some pine trees and have already gotten pine tar on our shoes.

We will be here for 2 weeks and we are taking advantage of their special camping price of $99 a week and after paying the $3 a day resort fee, our total for a week is $120 - not bad for a campground in Florida during the winter season.

Tomorrow morning we're meeting our realtor at the house we're buying to do a walk-through before we go to the closing. We're excited about the house and are looking forward to living in Sebastian.
