The trip from Okeechobee to St. Augustine was about five hours of boring interstate travel. We are staying at the KOA in St. Augustine ($77 per night with KOA value card). The RV park is located pretty much in the middle of things. Our site is very unlevel. The rear stabilizers are fully extended and the front stabilizers are mostly retracted. There is also a lot of passenger side lift required to get level. The pull through site is fairly narrow and even though there is a small patio with a table and chairs, they are pretty much just in the way. There is a grill but no propane. There is a lake directly behind us with a catch and release rule. Watching the Anhinga birds dry their wings in the wind is fun. They have no natural oils in their feathers to help dry them after they dive for prey so fanning is the best remedy. Their beaks are so pointed that they stab their prey. This is not our favorite KOA, but it is close to all the tourist sites. We plan to visit both National Monuments here and tour the old town area of St. Augustine. St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied city in America. First settled in 1572 by the Spanish, it endured attacks by the French and British. It changed hands by treaty to the British following the French and Indian War, then back to Spain following the American Revolution, then to the US in 1819.
