November 1 and 2
I am going back in time to record this short trip to Okeechobee. When we went to the Good Sam Rally there were many, many, many booths for RV parks. Every one was promoting special rates to entice you to come and stay with them.

One such place was Silver Palms RV Resort in Okeechobee. If you are familiar with Florida there is not much down in that area except the Lake and perhaps some warm weather, but we thought we really don't have anywhere else to be - so why not? On the ride south from Orlando area you turn at a cross road called Yee Haw Junction. Nothing there but a gas station so don't blink!
Our friend Don kept asking us why are we going to Okeechobee???? I know, I know but we just have to find out these things for ourselves. "IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY" I will only say the rate was super low and with the viewing on the internet we thought it looked like an exceptionally nice park for some R&R. Once we got there we were glad it truly is a beautiful park with beautiful amenities. The site we had was backed onto the lake, with a grass drive and cement pad.

One thing that was not so good was the no-see-ums and the mosquitos!!! My husband never gets bothered with any insects but that is because they are munching and feasting on me. The park is very new and has a beautiful clubhouse and pool area. People were extremely friendly. Unfortunately my Dad took ill and we could only stay 2 nights instead of the month. We have a credit sitting there to use for future camping so maybe we will get back down there again. With the cell and the internet in about 3 hours we had flights arranged back in Orlando airport , a warehouse to put our Rig in and friends arranged to pick us up in Detroit.
