Eagle's Landing RV Park

From the Ground...
...and from the AirFor the rest of December and into January we will be located in Holt, Florida. Never heard of Holt? It is near to Crestview, Milligan, Baker, Ward Basin, Milton, Galt City, Pea Ridge and Bagdad! Still no help(?) - how about Pensacola? So, pretty much like Georgia in being dotted with small towns, but here they are not quite so widely separated.
Eagle's Landing RV Park, Okaloosa County, Florida, has 60 sites that are each 100 feet long by 35 feet wide - plenty of room for rigs (plus tow vehicles) even larger than ours. It is a very nicely kept (indeed, you could describe it as manicured) 10 acres of grass sites with gravel roads (without a single pothole). Owners Dick and Judie Riblett have years of experience in various aspects of the RV business and also run one of the camping clubs we belong to, Recreation USA, and this is the headquarters of the club & we spent no less than 7 hours in a conversation with them last night, sharing all sorts of experiences, primarily having to do with RV's and the mobile life style. They had quite a number of interesting stories to share, particularly concerning a number of evacuations the've been involved with in hurricane seasons.
Our trip to this location from White Springs was mostly a 250 mile trip West on Interstate 10 (which looks a lot like much of 95) with lots of wilderness like Georgia.
Today we enjoyed some 80+ degree weather and we are looking forward to visiting a beach along the Gulf of Mexico tomorrow.

Ahh, Pensacola. You are truly in a great place for the beaches. Pananma City beach is O.K., but I like Mexico City beach a lot better. It is quieter and not nearly as crowded. There is also a great restaurant on the stretch of beach, but I don't remember what it is called. You can't miss it though. I hope you get to go there. It isn't too much of a drive. Oh, well, enjoy the weather and the sun.
