It continues to be busy down here in Florida.  On Saturday Craig flew his plane to and from Lakeland to check on Chuck and Kate's house and in the process was able to accumulate enough hours (50) on his plane to allow it to leave a designated break-in area and carry passengers.  Sadly there was n

Friday we drove up to Tampa to spend the night at Zachary & Cathy's and then go to Sun'n Fun.  That is a large, annual air show and fly-in in Lakeland.  Last week a large storm passed through and did over a million $ worth of damage by tossing a lot of the smaller aircraft around.  Craig and

Yesterday we went to the old town of Micanopy, Payne's Prairie State Park and then to Cross Creek to see the home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.  Micanopy is the first town created by the US in Florida and is on the national register of historic places and was where they filmed 'Doc Hollywood'.  At

We left Wilderness this morning and set up at Grand Lake Golf & RV Resort.  We had hoped to golf but it was crowded today and there is a tournament tomorrow until 2 so we may not.  Today we went into Gainesville and had a nice tour and did a little shopping.  The only problem was there was en
