Show me the free spots

Day 181
​Clearwater FL- Wildwood FL

The Tampa area has been great, but time is up and our money needs to be budgeted. The last 4 nights cost $200 of our hard earned cash. We reserved the next 3 nights to be spent at Lake Panasoffkee courtesy of the SWFWMD. Oh yes, Florida's water management district comes up big again with three nights of free camping. Eli gets taken for his morning walk and we just try to dodge the silk worms hanging from the trees.

Today's drive is just a shade under two hours. Keeping our drives to a couple hours or less really takes the stress off of traveling. Also having a place picked out makes things a little easier too. Every once and a while we get the added bonus of being able to find pictures and reviews of where we are going. Will Penny make it down the road OK? Will she fit in the spaces we park? Is there a cell signal or TV? All of these things come into consideration when we look for our next home.

Doesn't look too bad from here. The roads are compacted seashells and fairly level. A few potholes in the way, but nothing to really worry about.

Turns out to be a pretty sweet place to park. There is tons of space for us to pick a spot. We have good 4G on the phones, and 3 awesome TV channels to flip through. Not bad for free, not bad at all.

The old man gets leashed up again for his evening walk and takes us into the woods for a walk. Lovely weather and a quiet place to camp. Life could be worse.
