It's been cooler then I expected for being this far south. We spend some time at Gambles Rodgers S.P. at Flagler Beach, and it was windy, cloudy and cold. And that was the start of our issues.
We got a parking ticket ($35.00) because we parked where the guy from the restaurant told us to park. Then we got our dates mixed up and left a day early, so we got down here a day early, but there were a lot of spaces open, even the one we reserved. Seen a couple of gators along the edge of the lake, but Gunner never even seen them.
Next morning we head to the Visitors Center, and on the way back had a flat tire on the Durango. Shoot, you need the instructions to find the jack and tools and get the spare tire out. After the car fell off the jack, we got the spare on and finally got back on the road. Now it's 40 miles to nearest tire place to get it fixed. Go to Goodyear, wait for an hour only to have them say tire unfixable due to nail was too close to sidewall. Now they say only tire available for our car is Michlin at $280. and needs to be ordered. What the heck, this is a Goodyear store.
Next stop is the dreaded Walmart. We were able to order a Hancook, same as what's on the car, but of course it will be 2-4 days to get it. I bought a $7.00 plug kit and plugged the tire just so I would have a spare in the car till I get the new tire.
Carol is kind of "freakin' out" but we are doing ok, lots of birds, gators, but have not seen a panther yet. Sunday we move down the road 10 miles where we even have full hookups and showers. What a life. Beats shoveling snow.
