We got up early to a sunny morning and ate breakfast. Since we had got most everything ready yesterday we only needed to disconnect power, water and cable and hook up the car in order to head out. We were on the road by 8:30 AM with a long drive ahead of us. I had mapped out a couple of different routes but eventually decided to take I-95 south to Ft Pierce then pick up SR 70 to cross through the heart of Florida with a stop for lunch along the way. We got to Arcadia then cut south on SR 17 to reach I-75 and turning south towards Ft Myers. Eventually we reached our turn off and wound our way through South Ft Myers eventually crossing the causeway to Ft Myers Beach and the Red Coconut RV Park, which is just across the road from the beach.
It’s a great location, close to everything where we can walk or take our bikes. It’s about a twenty minute drive to Sanibel Island, reputedly the best shell beach in the country.After getting parked and hooked up we walked over to the beach to check it out. Very, very nice! We’ll enjoy our three weeks here!!
Distance for this leg, 225 miles.
Total for trip so far, 5.337 miles.
