Sugar Hill Campground is well named for the sugar sand dunes that surround it. Like St. Joe's, there are miles and miles of white sand beaches with clear water. Unlike St. Joe's, the campground is beautiful with generous well spaced campsites. We happened upon a 43' site that has plenty of room for Speedy and a travel trailer or two along with us. #40 - a great site.
Going back to St. Joe's, we had to move to 3 different sites because I didn't make reservations 11 months back. With the exception of our last site, #5, the Gulf Breeze CG was densely populated with extra tents, vehicles, people and kids overflowing their space. Still it was beautiful and seemed to have more birds than St. George.
We love St. George and is a perfect last stay in FL before we work our way back tomorrow. We have biked from one end of the peninsula to the other, still have one last shot to put fresh fish on the table (Harry!) and Nina has found paradise with sand flats to run on the bay side. Harry has discovered a new popular artificial bait used around the gulf - Fishbites. Lets hope they do soon!
There is a volunteer astronomer here for the month of March with a 5" telescope. Harry opted to look at the sunspots mid day while I braved the bugs looking at Jupiter and the 4 moons before 1 eclipsed behind. Couldn't hold on to wait for the spot to come around!
On our way into St. George, we had another opportunity for fried oysters in Appalachicola. This time we tried Boss Oysters. Both this restaurant and Hole in the Wall were excellent. The Hole has more character and is cheaper. Boss, although a bit more expensive, came with a generous 10+ oysters. Might have to go one more round to declare a winner.
Tomorrow we head out and start the sprint home so posting may be slim.
