A Frostproof Thanksgiving

Yesterday we were pleased to share a Thanksgiving dinner with other folks here at the Lakemont Ridge RV Park in Frostproof, FL.  With the many contributions by other guests as well as the staff and management of the park, we were able to enjoy a wide variety of foods, including some that we might not usually associate with this day.

We've only been here about two weeks at this point, but so far Frostproof has lived up to the name; however, it has been very wet and not quite the sunny Florida we usually expect. We'll see how the reputation holds up when Winter actually arrives.

Two amazing features of this area:  Orange groves that go on and on (for miles and to the horizon in some areas) and lakes of all shapes and sizes covering most of the area that is not populated by orange trees.

Just a few photos to share right now including (1) a trail that I attempted on our last day at Salt Springs, but I was defeated by swarms of mosquitos (2) a few shots of one of the local lakes and (3) a sunset we observed as we drove from Lake Wales to Frostproof on Thanksgiving Eve.  I would normally limit the number of sunset photos, but I was just so amazed by the vivid colors and unusual textures that I had to share more of them.  This is the photo link.
