March 4, Saturday, Day 149

EG Simmons Regional Park, Ruskin FL., 173 mile jump

Manatee Springs was in our rear view mirror by 7:45AM. Tampa was not too busy except for the I-4 exit which was stop and go for a couple of miles; once we got south of that interchange it was smooth sailing again. We arrived at the campground about 11:20 and added our name to the list; we were third. The only choice available was a small site that would have put the painted side of the camper facing south; we need north to wax the paint job. We declined and took a nice site in overflow having water, but not electric. Tomorrow is a Sunday, many will checkout giving us better options.
