CHECKING OUT THE RESORT

The weather today was a repeat of yesterday with a high of 85 and windy, we have been told this is the norm, keeps down the bugs.

This am. we packed up and moved to our new site, our new neighbour is the Park Manager, she has already helpful in getting our TV cable hooked up.

We asked about the bugs, they call them gnats here and say they do not bit. Cathy and I call them black flies and they do bite. Anyway the bug repellent works on them.

The Resort

We had to go to the Recreation Hall to p/u our cards for the fitness Centre and washrooms through out the park. It also contains 3 pools, 2 with hot tubs and the third with a sauna, library, tennis courts, laundromat, free wi-fi, shuffleboard, rock shop for jewellery making, cafe, wood shop, art centre, craft room, computer room, puzzle room, stained glass room,  sewing and quilting room. All of these have classes or activities you can sign up for free unless supplies are used.

There are grapefruit trees growing all over the resort and you can pick them. This one is on our site and Cathy had one for lunch. It was a pink one and was very good.

The main means of transportation in the resort is the golf cart followed by the bicycle.


All of the sites are for sale. You can purchase one to park you RV on or put a prefab cottage on it.


This is a water dispenser, you provide the jug and pay 25cents a gallon.


We attended the Santa Clause parade tonight containing about 10 golf carts all treated with Christmas decorations and lights, they were even throwing out candy.
