Feeling a little claustrophobic this afternoon, I decided to go for a walk ‘in the other direction’ (away from the entrance to this beach). The sun was warm, but the wind gusts chilly, so I was glad I wore a fleece top.

I walked (or, rather, tried not to become airborne) for a few klicks, hypnotized as I was by the sound of the palm trees rustling in the wind. I passed a lot of vacation homes, RVs, and a trailer masquerading as a motel, but that’s it.

I just checked the map and, to my surprise, if I had kept going just another two miles or so, I would have reached the Indianola Fishing Marina where there is a small bar and grill. Total distance from home round trip is 8 miles, or 13KM, definitely doable on foot! So I may take off late morning one day and go grab lunch there, then spend part of the afternoon on the pier. That sounds so much more pleasant than hopping in the truck to go.

The wind might actually be slowing down a little. It’s still very loud, but the RV is just shifting rather than rocking. Nope, typed too soon!
