We've been wanting to try Long Point Campground, a nice little county park in southern Brevard county. A couple weeks ago while out for a drive, we stopped in to check on availability. We were able to string 4 nights together on the same site. Perfect. Edna hadn't been out in a while and Mango's been itching to go.

| Foot bridge to Scout Island |
Long Point is mostly filled with snowbirds. I think ours is the only Florida license plate here. We are right on the water (Indian River) and can hear the gentle waves all day long. A nice sunny spot and a fire pit have been perfect to host family and friends who have visited.

Today, we took a nice walk to Scout Island, which is across a foot bridge (the only other access is by boat). All natural Florida here so a nice walk among the mangroves, Australian pines and other flora was relaxing. Again, no bugs and not too hot. It doesn't get much better than this. We both had our cameras and took lots of shots. On our way back across the footbridge, we spotted a manatee working it's way along the shore.
This is the perfect spot to have a kayak. We've been considering a Sea Eagle 370 since we retired two years ago. It's inflatable which means easy to store and travel with. We would get a lot of use right here at home. Haven't ordered it yet but on the way back from Scout Island, there were 2 kayak life jackets for sale at a neighboring campsite. Yes, we bought them. I'm guessing that means we'll soon be the proud owners of a kayak.
