Port St. Joe , Florida

Port St. Joe , Florida was a five day stop over on root to a Passport America Rally that is taking place north of here about four hours away.

The campgrounds has about 30 to 40 sites of which half are on the water . We were lucky enough to get one of the water sites .........Nothing fancy here our picnic table barely stood up on its own it was so old .......Its a marina also and I think that's where they make their money from.....But just look at the sunsets we had the joy of ending our days with ......



















While we where here I found a small RV supply store and stopped to see what I just had to have . While I looked around I found this display of old lures ...The owner said he collects old and interesting lures he finds at flea markets and garage sales ......Well the one on the bottom left was made by a Rochester , N.Y. company named RED EYE that was located on Jay St. and owned by a good friend of my father ( Earl A. Lenhard ) named Norman Gauch . Just how small is this world we live in ...The owner enjoyed hearing the history that I knew about his lure and I just spent some time last summer with Mr Gauch just before he pasted away ....How cool is that ?













Sharon and I finally found the time and had better weather and a coupon , buy one greens fee get one free ......It was at at semi private course called St. Joes country club.........so for $42.00 we got 18 holes and a cart .......it was one of the few beautiful days we've had ; warm and sunny !!!!!!










We took a drive to an very exclusive area called St George Island ........nice beaches and very nice high end houses .....most of the houses were vacation rentals , we were told in the price range of $2,500 to $3,500 a week ........there was also a nice Lighthouse they were in the process of rehabbing........and Sharon came across this jellyfish........




























Our site was a good size and had real nice views :

We'll be leaving here on the 24th of March and looking forward to the rally in Crestview , Florida ......heading north little by little ............
