Sadly, it was time to leave Rainbow Plantation.  We met a lot of very nice folks during our month long stay and look forward to visiting them again someday.  The move to Fort Pickens was a pleasant 58-mile trip (75,681.8 miles total) nearly all of it on US Highway 98.

Mrs. Kravitz was a permanent resident in this coach!  This may be my favorite Christmas decoration so far.

Thanks to Andy for the heads up on the best diesel price in the area. We were able to fill up at $2.059/gallon - our lowest ever price and almost exactly half of the highest price we had ever paid!

The Fort Pickens campground on Gulf Islands National Seashore was more than four miles from the last developed property in Pensacola Beach.  At times we were just sure the road was below water level.  It was a bit unnerving!

We had arrived early enough to make a run to Fort Pickens for a quick look around before dinner.

The park buildings closed at sunset so Volunteer Ranger, Stuart, lowering the flag was our signal it was time to go.
