Friday 13th, NAS Pensacola

It is cool today. We are used to living in Southwest Florida so it is difficult to get used to the cooler weather. By cooler, I mean in the 60's, which is not bad for February. But, it does get cold in the evening. We are using our propane heater to knock off the chill at night.

This morning we cooked and ate outside again, drinking our coffee while watching the sun rise over the Gulf of Mexico. Then, we took a walk along one of the mulch lined paths that can be found all over the base. The one running from the campground goes by a working lighthouse which is open for visitors ( but wasn't today).


We had hoped the Chief's Club would be open for lunch, but it wasn't. What a nice club, though, located right on the water with a covered grill and tiki bar on the beach.

There are no planes flying today, so it is relatively quiet. Since we have been here there have been a lot of campers who come through and stay for one night before heading out the next day. This is a popular spot for military campers just passing through. I am glad we decided to stay a while.
