Countdown to Geezers Go South 2011

Click Image for details

OK, we have been all over the place on dates - Geezers can be like that, we are very flexible ("indecisive" to those who have not acheived Geezerdom) Here is the current plans...

2/21 or 2/22 Pack up the camper, kayaks and bourbon and work our way south. We will probably spend a night or two in Georgia or the Florida panhandle on our way to...

2/25 to 2/28 New Orleans - Bayou Sagenette campground. The ladies arrive on the 27th to enjoy the pleasures of the "Big Easy" before we move on to...

2/28 to 3/6 Gulf Islands National Seashore in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Geezer Mike worked in this part of MS immediately following Hurricane Katrina and has made some great friends here. Last year, Geezer Al got to sample the hospitality and casual way of life here. We look forward to introducing the ladies to favorite people and places before packing up and heading to...

3/7 to 3/10 St. Joe's Pennsula State Park, in the Florida panhandle. A great little campground way out on a narrow little spit of land about 5 miles from the mainland. The ladies fly home on the 10th and the Geezers are once again on their own. To help us recover from our heartbreak, we will head to central Florida to visit with...

3/11 to 3/14 The "Old Curmudgeon" Bill Whalen near Hernando, FL Looking to camp near the Shell Mound or Crystal River for a couple of nights before moving on to...

3/14 to 3/20 Collier Seminole State Park near Marco Island, FL. Lots to do down here - kayak in the NW Everglades, look for the elusive Florida Panther along the Tamiani Trail, explore the waters around Marco Island, Chokolosee or Dismal Key or rub shoulders with the rich & famous in Naples. We need to rest up, because we are headed for hard work at...

3/21 to 3/25 A kayak instructor course at Neptune Beach near Jacksonville, FL. Geezer Mike hopes to get level 2 and Geezer Al is a shoe-in for level 3 certification at this ACA (American Canoe Assn.) sponored course. We will start the long trip north...

3/26 to 3/31 Driving North with some probable stops in Myrtle Beach, SC and somewhere else, but who knows where? Any suggestions, Geezer followers?
