Koreshan Historic State Park

Located on the Estero River south of Ft. Myers and just north of Naples this is another of Florida's beautiful state parks of which there are hundreds, and all very nice.  All under 30 bucks a night and most of great hiking trails and beach or river access.  This one, Koreshan was the gift of the Koreshan "cult" in the 60's.  This group set up camp here in the late 1800's and lived without modern conveniences for most of their time.  They folded and gave the land to the state.  They believed the universe  was at the core of the earth, I had not thought of that.  They lived peacefully and practically and the land is testament to their care.  The state continues to keep it up beautifully.

Now if it would heat up a little and if all the old people would come out, I could believe we are in Florida.  Wait I might be one of them.  I feel pretty young here actually. 

Suzy has contacted an inner ear infection that has turned her ear fluid into molasses.  Makes hearing very difficult (but also good cookies) and she speaks real quietly thinking she is shouting.  Which makes my hearing bad, so we make a good old couple, "what was that dear? " She is on meds and getting better by staying prone.  She is getting cabin fever but one more day should do it.  Then its off to the Everglades.  Meantime I am taking care of all my mechanical maintenance duties.

We are also spending lots of time on the internet looking at houses in Seattle.  That is starting to look more in focus as we begin to wind up our trip.  Exciting times ahead.

Cheers
