No, that counter is just days until Christmas, not days until Christmas at the Fort... though I guess Christmas is on the same day, even if you're at the Fort. Hmmm? Anyhoo, we don't have another Fort trip planned yet. It will probably be F&G 2011, or F&W (prefer 2010, but 2011 would be more likely). All of which is an awful long time away. But I totally agree, next time we need to at least hang out long enough to share a beer (if not a 6 pack)!
OK- You let me know when you are coming, and I'll work out a visit.
Apparently, I joined the DB during your hiatus. From what I hear your reports are LEGENDARY. Now I see why! DH and I got a brochure for Grayton Beach a while back, but it wasn't enough info to chance such a long drive. Thanks for the TR. You've convinced me! Looks Great!
Thanks, and welcome to the Disboards!
I was showing my g/f TCD's report and she said she would like to visit there as well. The town looks really nice plus we enjoy biking and kayaking.
Did you do any cooking Andrew? The market looks great and a place we'd like to visit. Would you have preferred the new loop? Is there any plans on refurbing the old comfort station?
Donnie- If you like biking and kayaking this is your place. I notice many campers who brought their own kayaks. You could put them in right there at the campground. Western Lake is pretty big, and it looks like there is plenty to see. Also, there is this activity called YOLO Boarding (google it!) that started up around here. It is stand-up paddle-boarding. It is a big fad here, and a lot of folks YOLO Board on Western Lake.
I did a bit of cooking, mostly for breakfast. I think we ate dinner at the site maybe three times in the eight nights we were there, the rest of the time we were visiting our favorite places, and we even missed some. If you want to cook though, I should mention that there is a gorgeous, new Publix about three miles from the park. I have a photo of it, which I will post later.
I like the old loop better than the new loop. The new loop is too open, and all of the sites (except the handicap accessible ones) are gravel, not sand. But, the old loop would be a challenge for folks with big rigs who don't drive as well as you.
Given the state of the state budget in Florida, I would be surprised if they will be upgrading the old loop comfort station any time soon, but it is functional. And, there is no restriction on using the new loop comfort station. Since most of the folks on the new loop have big rigs and are connected to the sewer, the new loop comfort station was usually less crowded anyway.

p.s. to those of you reading along, I will be busy for the next few days and probably will not be posting again until next week. It has nothing to do with you. Really. And, I don't plan on dying. So go back and read all of the text (I know most of you just look at the pictures, and if this applies to you, your are missing the best part). I'll be back on-line next week, and we will pick it up from there.
I promise.
