Where In The World Is Pepper

The last five blogs were posted automatically.  I have been asked how do you do that?  It is fairly simple:

To set your blog post to publish at a future time and date, log into your Blogger account and compose a new post. Instead of clicking the Publish Post button, however, click the Post Options link at the bottom of the form.

This presents several additional options. To publish at a future date, select Scheduled At under Post Date and Time. Enter the date and time you want the blog post to publish in the boxes beneath Scheduled At. Click the Publish Post button to save your blog post and set it to publish at the date and time you specified.

The reason I do this is I know I am going to be in a location that I will not have access to reliable internet. Mom and I went back to Collier Seminole State Park for 5 days. We just enjoy the park immensely and I wanted to take a couple of hikes that I missed.

I took this video of a cormorant and his dinner. He was sure giving that fish a fit.

Currently we are back on the keys. We found a Passport America campground in Marathon Florida for $33 a night, which is very reasonable. The catch is we have to spend 5 nights here. Yeah, 5 nights by the Gulf, in warm sunny weather… sigh. It is a sacrifice but mom and I are willing to do it. This park is great! Cable TV and Wi Fi, showers and laundry. People are friendly and lots of dogs to pet and spoil.

Mom and dad did go Rving back in the 70’s for 6 months. My dad’s idea of traveling was very simple. There is a point A (where you are) and a point B (where you want to be) and he drove like gang busters to get to point B. It was “Get in, Sit down, Buckle up and Shut up.” One of the trips was to Key West Florida and they drove the old highway which was a widen railroad track. Dad was pulling an Airstream and mom remembers him hitting the side of the bridge a couple of times. It was terrifying. Once he made it to Key West, he stopped at a Sears (I think) and then he drove back towards Miami stopping along the way to spend the night. I made sure we stopped longer than an hour.

Here are some pictures of my hike I took while staying at Collier Seminole State Park.  There will be more tomorrow.
