The Palm Tree Upgrade.


Remember that great campsite we were on yesterday. That place was just wrong! So we moved. To the site next door with the postcard-quality coconut palm. I guess we're just picky.
This park has a great ranger named David Carroll. Schmoozes all the ladies and constantly jokes. He made changing sites very easy. The trick is that a percentage of the sites in all the parks are not shown or available on ReserveAmerica (a Canadian company). They are kept back for late arrivals and walkups. If they are open after checkout at 1 pm, it looks like you can go to the rangers and change sites. Which is what we did!
The move was not without problems. The sand on this site is so thick, that when I pulled in and then wanted to back up, I thought it might take a wrecker. Having dual drive wheels and a tag axle worked in my favor this time. But on the good side, I didn't even have to readjust the satellite dish to get reception. All in all a good move.
