We left the marina around eleven am. Our plan was to spend
the night in Saint Augustine at Anastasia State Park Campground. We were amazed
when we were told the campground was full.
Snowbirds fill up the Florida State parks in the winter. The ranger said due to the cold temperatures
up north and cheap gas all of the campgrounds are full until the end of
March. My heart sank and I told him we
only need a site for one day. He told Rich he could turn the motor home around
about a mile up the road so we drove through the park down hearted because we
had no plan B.
As we were approaching the office I saw the ranger outside
and he waved us down. He told us a site
just opened up but we could only have it for one night. I was thanking the Lord and being amazed by
His tender loving care. Our campsite was really nice and the park is so
peaceful and beautiful. Rich began to
set up the site and I began to open up the inside and set up our home.
Rich came inside and said the break line was leaking and we
had no breaks. We needed to get a new
break line put on the passenger side. We
did not bring my PT Cruiser and we had no way to get to an auto part store and
Rich needed tools to change the break line.
So we just prayed and asked the Lord to show us what to do. Rich decided to call our friends Bob and
Mattie. We left them the use of our car
while we are away. Bob said they would
be at the campground by 7:30 am. Rich
and Bob went to the auto parts store and Rich changed the break line. We were working under the wire because we had
to be out of our site by one pm. I made
a nice lunch for Bob and Mattie and they left to go back to the marina. We pulled out of the site at 12:45 dumped the
garbage and pumped out the tank. We began heading south on A1A hoping to stop in Flagler Beach State Park.
I can not upload pictures until I have good internet. Continued next blog.
Be Blessed!
