South Central Florida - Clewiston -"the Sweetest Town in America" (sugar cane fields everywhere)

Saturday, Dec 2 … Another laundry day. The we took a drive into town to find someone who could (would) fax our request for distant network service to DirecTV. Back home we went to the pool for awhile even though it‘s a warm, partially sunny day. We used the hot tub for awhile; also talked to an interesting couple from Maine who have been members at this park for ten years. They told us about some of the storm damage that occurred last year during the Florida Hurricanes. Tomorrow we are on the road again....185 miles to the next stop in the Florida Keys.
Friday, Dec 1 … It’s going to be a warm one today. We went for a walk early. Dixie had another Chiropractor appointment and we need to do some Walmart shopping for Christmas. The DIRECTV installer arrived at about 5:00p.m. and didn’t finish until almost 8:00p.m. He had difficulty in getting our King Dome system to locate the DIRECTV satellite.
Thursday, Nov 30 … On a partly sunny, windy day with temps in the upper 70’s, we decided to take a bike ride over to the lake. We rode west from a parking lot near the Hoover Dike. The paved trail is on top of the dike so we rode west -with the wind- for about 2.5 miles. The return against a stiff east wind trip was considerably more difficult. We made several rest stops along the way. The canal was just below us but the lake was barely visible probably a half a mile away. The land between the canal and the lake is very marshy. When we got back to the park, we estimated we rode approximately 7 or 8 miles. Needless to say, we were very tired and hot.
Wednesday, Nov 29 … Another trip to the Chiropractor for Dixie. She’s still trying to get some relief from the numbness in her fingers. I spent the morning attempting to contact DIRECTV. We’re making the change from Dish Network because they have been ordered to discontinue the distant network channel service. DIRECTV can still offer it. We need this service since we travel, otherwise, we would not get any network programming. It’s been a cloudy, cool kind of day so Mike did some mh cleaning.
Tuesday, Nov 28 … Dixie did some laundry while I did some things around the mh in the a.m. We went to the pool and hot tub in the afternoon. The weather was warm and sunny.
Monday, Nov 27 … Dixie had a Chiropractor appointment at 10:30. After lunch we drove to Moore Haven to scope out the RV park we’ll go to on Dec 20th. Again, nothing to write home about but at least it’s on some water…a canal. Not much to do in central Florida. Lake Okeechobee is difficult to get to even though we‘re only about one mile from it. The land is extremely marshy and the lake, at least so far, is not accessible.
Sunday, Nov 26 … Traveled the 78 miles to Clewiston, FL. We arrived at a park that is just so-so. They assigned us to a space that is near the highway 27 we came in on. It’s noisy. There are many vacant spaces in this park, several around the small lake but we get assign next to the highway. We were scheduled to be here for two weeks but after seeing the park, decided to leave after one week. We made reservations to check in a week early at Curry Hammock State Park near Marathon in the Keys. We’ll be there for two weeks. A bit expensive but what the heck … we’re livin’ the dream.
