Staying in St Cloud - Central Florida

We left Port St Lucie on Thursday, November 6th. It was a short day and we took our time getting on the road. After one little defugalty in finding the park, we arrived. The park, Lake Toho RV Resort, is about 10 miles from the cities of St Cloud and Kissimmee, at the end of a dead end road. We planned to stay 10-12 days or so while we flew to Cancun.

The park was pretty crowded and many sites wouldn't allow us to easily unload the bike but the office staff told Stu to go look around and see if he found one he liked. He did and we got backed in and parked with a minimum of hassle. Our site was off to the back of the park and overlooked the pond (the lake was on the other side of the park).

The first thing we noticed was the abundance of birds and other wildlife...can you say alligator? LOL! Here are some photos taken just opposite our site. Birds first....


We saw two alligators....one obviously large and later on a much smaller one. Never got to see them outside the water but here are a couple of pics we snapped.


The limo driver taking back to the park from the airport pointed out the bumper to bumper traffic going the other direction...seems as though there was a shuttle launch at 7:30 and folks were jockeying for a good viewing spot. We had just finished unpacking our luggage when our motorhome neighbors came over to tell us it was almost time for the launch. There were golf carts galore at our end of the park, folks waiting to see the launch. Having lived in Florida for over 25 years, I had seen several but this was new for Stu. He snapped some shots, not the best due to the distance but the yellow spot is the shuttle beside the white moon. Great sight!!!


The day before we were due to leave we had some Sandhill Cranes visit us and we snapped a few up close and personal photos. The next morning we were awakened with the sound of raucus birds...the cranes were back. Later while out on a walk, we spotted several of them in a nearby field.


We really enjoyed our time there....well, except for the ant invasion while we were gone...I think we have finally gotten rid of all of them. Phew! Anywhere, here are a couple of closing shots.


Till next time - keep on rollin',
