Lyn’s dream finally comes true!
[Carrabelle Day # 4 2025-03-01 (Sat)]. Today, after years in the making, Lyn finally got to drive along the Florida coast/beaches in the Jeep with the roof panels off. We drove around the city of Carrabelle then east about 10 miles along the coastal highway to Lanark. We spent some time driving around Lanark, which was mainly small, older homes, many made from cinderblock. Then we headed west along the coast to about 15 miles west of Carrabelle, just enjoying the view.
Lanark FL. This is a home in the middle of town. Doesn’t look like these folks could afford eggs but they could buy Trump paraphernalia. Unfathomable. Makes me sad to see, but it’s everywhere here (just like rural WI). These poor folks are the victims of decades of Republican propaganda.
This morning we did a walk up the coast to a lighthouse park where a Saturday “country market” was taking place. Very quaint, nick-nacks, some photography, and baked goods. We got some lemon scones from a nice couple from Crawfordville. The round trip walk, including some back roads, was about 2.5 miles.

In other exciting developments today we successfully hooked up to the sewer port at our site and dumped our black and gray water holding tanks. Whew, glad that milestone is behind us!
Today started with a walk to the beach at sunrise
