One thing on Steve’s checklist for this trip was boondocking (camping with out amenities) on the beach. Now, to be honest, it was not something I (Jo) wanted to do. Nevertheless… being a good sport, I went along with it. The only promise Steve had to make was that I would be able to watch the football game. In theory we had enough battery power (via solar) and water to last three days. However, when one person is set on watching the Buffalo Bills game on a cloudy day, (that would be me),… Oh well, but what a game! fabulous!

The morning sunrise on the first day was absolutely beautiful. However, the sky was red. One thing I have learned over time a red sky in the morning……

Now, Rutherford Beach is on the Gulf of Mexico, that large body of water. And for all you people who live by the ocean, you know that it can get windy!! And true to form it got really WINDY!!! I was so sure that the wind was going to knock the camper over. (Ok so I exaggerate a little bit).

The waves in the Gulf were tumultuous and deafening. I went to bed and said my prayers and hoped we would not be in Kanas in the morning. I slept like a baby. Steve on the other hand, who kept telling me that I was overreacting, didn’t sleep a wink because of the wind and the noise . 😊
