TN5 Hop 2<\/p><\/div>\n

10 miles via FL A1A, FL 100 and Old Kings Rd. Cumulative tow miles: 237. Truck miles: 293. Cumulative truck miles: 530. The truck miles were accumulated in my trip to St Augustine and various shopping trips in and around Flagler Beach. Plus two trips to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Once again, this was not the hop that I planned. We are now committed to spending a total of 3 weeks in Flagler Beach while Jett undergoes a series of tests. While we liked our initial destination in Flagler Beach – Beverly Beach Camptown<\/a> – there were 3 things that argued against staying there for the duration:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cost. It is expensive – ridiculously so, for what you get.<\/li>\n
  2. Salt spray. If we stayed for 3 weeks I think the truck would have been reduced to a pile of rust.<\/li>\n
  3. Lovebugs.\u00a0 These little pests bloomed while we were there.\u00a0 By the time we left they were swarming.\u00a0 They might be gone in a couple more days but they would be a miserable couple of days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As I said, we liked Beverly Beach Camptown.\u00a0 Being close to the ocean was nice and was a balm for the emotional burns we suffered with Jett’s illness.\u00a0 She enjoyed the sound of the surf and the smell of the salt spray.<\/p>\n

    Oher than proximity to the ocean, the campground doesn’t offer much else.\u00a0 The office staff was pleasant and efficient and the camp store was pretty nice.\u00a0 It had a small but adequate laundromat that we almost – but not quite – used.\u00a0 The beach was more golden than white, but the sand was very soft and the beach was very clean.\u00a0 I can’t comment on the water as I didn’t jump in.<\/p>\n

    Being on the Atlantic, the sunrises were spectacular. Jett, of course, slept through them. But I didn’t.<\/p>\n
