After staying over a second night at Cummins Power South in Ocala — we had to wait for a part to fix our dash air conditioner — we got on the road at 3:00 and headed north on Florida State Road 27 towards the coast. Our destination for the night was a campground on the Gulf of Mexico in the little town of Keaton Beach. Eddie suggested this route instead of Interstate 75 and it was so much nicer.
The road to the campground took us through Steinhatchee — a beach town that with a lot of brightly colored vacation homes and resorts. From Steinhatchee it is seventeen miles of windy road to Keaton Beach, and we must have gone over ten minutes without passing another car.
The campground was right on the Gulf — as was our campsite. What a view.
As sunset approached a variety of birds were feeding in the water.
Sunset was spectacular, and it was even more amazing in the half-hour after the sun went down. The clouds looked as if they were on fire.
I took more photos, and I will post some of the best online as soon as I get a chance to "develop" them. Tomorrow we will head into the Florida panhandle and parts west.
