Campsite view, Fort De Soto Park, Saint Petersburg
Dave and Linda suggested that we come to the Fort De Soto County Park in Saint Petersburg, and we are glad they did. This is one of the nicest places we have stayed. The park is located on a chain of five interconnected keys in Tampa Bay. Our camp spot, which is surrounded by palm trees, is on the end of one of the keys and we look out over the water.
There is an interesting variety of wildlife here as well. We have a pair of pileated woodpeckers near us as well as a family of raccoons and countless little geckos. There are also tree frogs which make a tremendous noise when they get going. The raccoons were over investigating our campsite as soon as it got dark. We had been warned about them and had everything well secured.
It is very hot and humid so we are keeping to the shade and enjoying every breath of breeze that comes our way. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to break and we are looking forward to cooler temperatures, especially at night.
We have decided to stay here Friday night as well.
