Monday, October 31st. With road construction in front of the park, we would have had to make a hairy left turn to get on the road. Instead we drove 2 miles to the right to the Costco to hook up there. We timed our arrival at Costco so the store was just opening and I could run in to get a jar of Jelly Bellies. Now we're well prepared for the rest of our travels. We drove for about 3 hours (including a gas stop) to Destin. I'm so glad that Marty recommended this destination to us. I have never seen such beaches before. We got settled into our campsite. The state park is very nice. Each of the campsites is secluded so you can't even see the neighbors. Paved streets, level gravel sites and lots of squirrels. Buster was on guard the whole time we were there. I was almost afraid he was getting obsessed about squirrels. Oh well, he had a good time...especially since they wouldn't allow dogs on the beach.
Di and I went to the beach, leaving Buster behind to guard the motorhome. The sand is pure white and very 'sugary' in appearance. Probably the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. The water is 72 degrees. The only thing that kept us from swimming was a large number of stinging jellyfish, which were washing up on the beach. But it was still great walking.
