Sun, Jan 5: Got a knock on the door last night around 9pm...we had both just fallen alseep and david, of course, didn't hear a thing. He got up and ranger said we were on mandatory evacuation because access road floods in storm surge...rain began around 7:30am. We knew we needed to be at the dump station ASAP or we were going to wait, wait, wait. We quickly packed up electric wire, hoses, and 2 chairs...we never have a lot of stuff outside. We did have 7 more nights on our reservation. My original plan was to go to a cracker barrel in the evening that was about 40 minutes away. But I also searched for state parks nearby and found one that had an opening...Big Lagoon State Park/florida. That is where we ended up and about 40 minutes away. We cancelled two days on our reservation at Fort Pickens and booked into Big Lagoon. Then we selected a bigger site at Fort Pickens and booked in starting tuesday to complete our reservation time there. Mali dog will have some room to run with her ball...yippee! We went to Ace hardware to get propane fill in our 20 lber...so much easier to get filled than onboard. Got settled in at Big Lagoon and walked a bit. This park has two trails that are dog friendly.
