Alaska is closed to snowbirds as well...stay in AZ for the summer!

Anybody familiar with the area that could point out places of interest, restaurants etc.?


Tony's Restaurant on Cedar Key for clam chowder.

Any of the springs, Manatee Springs, Fanning Springs, etc, but they won't be as impressive in the winter. They have decent nature trails.

Steinhatchee Falls.

Lots of bike paths in the area including the Nature Coast Trail using an old rail trestle bridge over the Suwannee River.

There's a couple nice places to view the salt marshes, but I have know idea what they were called or how to get there.

Lots of kayaking/canoeing opportunities.

They deer hunt with dogs, so don't be surprised. I asked the waitress at Papa Luigi's in Old Town if that was the case and she said yes. As a matter of fact she and her husband had 52 hounds they kept on their hunting camp property.

My brother and SIL used to live in LA (Lower Alabama, near Gulf Shores). When I visited and we went out to eat, they told me the restaurant owners remove all the condiments from the tables during snowbird season, because the snowbirds would load up their pocket/purses with all the packets of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and salt/pepper to take back to their RVs.



When in doubt, mumble

I have not been to Tony's Restaurant, but the local Publix grocery does carry that clam chowder in cans.

It is the best clam chowder that I have ever tasted. Accompanied by a take-and-bake baguette from Aldi, it is a calorie laden, but absolutely delicious combination.

Try it. In the words of Mel Brooks, your tongue will throw a party for your mouth.

Thanks, this is the type of info I'm looking for.

How’s the weather grabbing you today? I can’t believe that I had to turn the heat on!

A little warmer today, but it has been cold enough to run the electric heaters a bit, it's supposed to be cheaper than running the propane furnace in my motorhome. Glad to see that the daytime temps are going to climb back into the 70's. Smile

Is Sierra Vista located near Fort Huachuca?
