Thursday was a total geocache day. We started before breakfast, using some nearby geocaches as a goal for our morning walk. Then we came back to the park for breakfast and drove to the town of Sebastian for more geocaches. The very first one we went to was a real pain. The cache itself was easy enough to find, but then you had to take some items from the cache and use them to retrieve the log, which was stuck in the 90 degree bend of a drain pipe. Harris worked and worked at it, with the sun blazing down on his back and the bugs doing their bugging, before he finally gave up, defeated. Darn.
The 4.5 difficulty cache Harris didn't get
But we did find many more. Our total for the day was 19! We stopped at a café in town for lunch called Southern Sisters. Their motto, emblazoned on the waitresses’ shirts: Put some south in your mouth. So we did. We had an “ugly omelet”, full of sausage, bacon, etc. We had fried biscuits, which were very similar to the beignets we had in New Orleans. We had sweet potato pancakes. Wow! We were filled up so well that we just had some snacks later for dinner. After we returned to the RV park, we did our usual swim in the shade to cool off before dinner. We’ll miss this nice pool because the next 2 places we’re going to won’t have them.
What he had to work with
The weather surprised us overnight, it actually rained a bit. But we still had the air-conditioning on. When the low temp is 75, we haven’t cooled off much!

On Friday, we left the Sunshine Travel RV park in Vero Beach and drove to St. Augustine, about 160 miles to the north. We did no geocaching. We did stop at 2 quilt stores along the way.

At first the freeway was 2 lanes through a wooded countryside, full of palms, pines, and some other unidentified trees. Very green. Around the city of Daytona Beach, the freeway suddenly turned into 4 lanes and filled with traffic. The palm trees started to disappear from the woods. We arrived at our new RV park for the night (and possibly more), outside he city of St. Augustine, which we intend to explore tomorrow.
