Lake Okeechobee’s High Point
Views from the top: this Florida Trail roadwalk between the two sides of Port Mayaca offers an excellent perspective on the lake.

A Year with Primrose
It’s been a year since we purchased Primrose, our 1982 VW Vanagon. Here’s a recap of where we’ve been and what we’ve seen.
VW Love at the Pasco County Bug Jam
We left Primrose home for the 25th annual Pasco County Bug Jam, but many of her cousins were on display at Florida's biggest Volkswagen gathering in Dade City.
