Yesterday was filled with wrong turns, missed turns, a small fender bender with half a day tied up with local government trying to fill out the right paperwork with the right agency and quibbles about jurisdiction.
Our travel day didn't go quite as planned, but what does? We got into the Easterlin Park a Broward County Park in Oakland Park, FL (a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale) after dark and started setting up home sweet home. We'll be here for at least a month.
Easterlin Park is a Designated Urban Wilderness Area, and has a mixed cypress forest. Cypress trees 250 years old and 100 feet tall are common in the park. Relatively undisturbed buffer areas of thick wild coffee, ferns, dahoon holly, cabbage palm, oak, and red maple shield the park from the outside world. The only downside is a nearby train track and some freeway noise. Flip-flops, shorts and a t-shirt make the occasional train noise a fair trade-off.
I thought this vacation was a tad on the long side! How I envy you!
