On the road again!

The coach was ready to pick up and we were "organized" and anxious to get on the road!
Not only were we picking up the coach but we were adding a tow bar so we could take my Jeep on the trip. Due to the extended length of trip we felt it was important to have a car with us. Interestingly enough, very few cars can be towed due to the type of transmission. I traded in my BMW and picked up a snazzy new Jeep Trailhawk which aligns nicely with our new travel lifestyle and can be towed !
We added the tow equipment to the coach and the Jeep was connected and ready to roll.
We headed back to John Prince park for a two night stay and to provision the coach for the big journey ahead and considered this the unofficial start of our journey west.
On Friday the 1st of August we pointed the coach due west and headed for our first stop, Okeechobee Florida. You might be wondering why Okeechobee? Well, after 6 days here, we are also questioning this choice! We are staying in a beautiful 5 star resort, at least that's what the sign says at the entrance, between the Flamingo Motel and the Golden Arches! I do agree with the assessment, this place has a huge pool, tennis courts, pickle ball courts (have no idea what that is) and acres of perfectly manicured streets.


where are our neighbors?

As you can see from the picture above, it's pretty quiet here!  In downtown Okeechobee there is a Super Walmart and a Publix and that's about it! So we go to Walmart just about everyday and scour the aisles for something we didn't know we needed! Our most recent purchase was Orange cream Popsicles, low calorie of course...
So this morning we decided to take a ride around the lake and sight see, we found out there is nothing but pastures full of cows and sod farms! We rode over to Lake Placid and did the loop around, we were back in the coach within two hours enjoying a Orange Cream Popsicle and planning our next adventure for tomorrow!


The Happy RV'ers!
