Saturday morning update! Yesterday was a beautiful day! We set up camp at the wolf preserve and then headed to Panama City. Joe happens to have a relative who lives there so we stopped at their house first and visited for an hour. They gave us the inside scoop on a big lobster festival that was happening at a place called Schooners on the beach, and we also got the address for a nearby Golden Corral. ( because our family loves buffets, and we're not really picky about food)
I've got to mention our journey to the wolf center- the GPS did get us here but it had its own way of doing it. We started on a freeway- went to a small rural paved road- that turned into a narrow dirt road- and then it had us turn onto an even narrower dirt road that said " no outlet" joe- being the brave truck driver he is- kept on going in hopes of a good outcome.... then the GPS told him to turn right but there was no road to turn on just a dead end! So here we are- the end of a tiny dirt road- with our new 42 foot fifth wheel- and soft sand surrounding us... I figured we'd just have to live there forever, but joe kicked that tough Minnesota truck into 4 wheel drive and backed us out of there! ( thank God for truck drivers )
The GPS then rerouted us, and we got there not even ten minutes later!
The Golden Corral was awesome, and then we spent about an hour at the beach at sunset- it was breathtaking! Here's some pictures from yesterday!
