St. Andrew’s State Park, Panama City, Florida

We took a morning walk before leaving for Panama City Beach, FL. While walking on the trail we heard and felt a loud boom. We’re not sure what it was but it sure made us stop in our tracks. There is an Air Force Base in the area so it was probably one of their planes.

We are staying at St. Andrew’s State Park in Panama City, FL tonight. Our site is right on the water overlooking a bay. We drove around Panama City Beach but it was too touristy for us so we went back to the park and watched the sunset from the beach. A nice man offered to take our picture. I collected a lot of seashells. Once, on the beach in Petoskey, MI, I overheard a father tell his young daughter that she can’t have all the rocks. I immediately knew she was a kindred spirit because I too wanted to collect all the rocks I saw. I think the same holds true for seashells.

Wilderness RV Park, Robertsdale, Alabama

We left Florida and drove to Alabama. We are staying at Wilderness RV Park in Robertsdale, AL. It’s an RPI campground so we are getting a great nightly rate ($10.40).

Since we are staying here a week, we set up our canopy tent which houses some of our cooking appliances (pressure cookers, soy milk maker) and laundry appliances. At every new campsite I sweep the floor before putting down the rugs. For longer stays, I mop and wipe down surfaces. Sometimes I dust all the cabinets. I always chuckle when cleaning the camper because it reminds me of the TV shows Gypsy Brides US or My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding (found on YouTube) where the young brides find themselves cooped up in a travel trailer making sure it’s spotless while their new husbands are at work.

Two vegans and two vegan dogs traveling the country in a camper pulled by a Tesla. We love being frugal, cooking from scratch, exploring, hiking, and meeting fellow vegans.
