Lake Panasoffkee KOA

We just got back from Lake Panasoffkee KOA.  It was KOA Appreciation week-end, stay Friday, get Saturday free.  We planned to get out of St Pete by 3:00 to beat the 5:00 Friday traffic.  But as usually happens, we didn't make the goal.  Instead we left at 5:00, right in it.  We did take the Gandy to the Crosstown to I-75. We saved some time over I-275 but it was a bear from Park Blvd to the Crosstown.  The lights aren't synchronized correctly  and the traffic from Roosevelt going to 4th Street gets stuck and cuts off traffic from moving on Gandy.

We met our camping buds, Irene and Fred, up there. We had buddy sites, so that our patio area faced each other.

Big Bob still had his man cave going on, though.  The new addition, thank to our daughter.

 The park backs up to a finger of Lake Panasoffkee.

There is a long dock to tie canoes or Kayaks to.

They also have a nice pool, which we took advantage of Saturday.  It was a warm day to say the least.  We had it all to ourselves, extra nice.

 The campground had a few cabins,some of  the best ones I have seen.

As always, when we get together we enjoy good times and good food, and of course, boiled P-nuts. 

I even made cupcakes in the toaster oven.  No very pretty, though they tasted good.

We wanted to go to Catfish Johnny's for dinner. I was able to located the only taxi in the area-Sandy's taxi service.  I wish I could have taken a picture of the "cab".  It was a '93 Buick, seats were torn, and both quarter panels were smashed in. No meter.  No problem, she got us there and back safe for jut $20.00  And since we didn't tow, it's was great to have her.We had dinner on Saturday evening at Catfish Johnny's up the road.  

 It is a very unique place.  Pictures of all the celebrities who have eaten there and lots of Old Florida
memorabilia..Due to the lighting, the pictures aren't very good.

Lastley, I just had to take a picture of this cute little thing.  The owners tow it from Canada.

 Stay tuned for more adventures with the Fiestatime.
