We got to our next camp, W.P. Franklin Corp-of-Engineers campground on the Caloosahatchee River near Fort Myers by noon after doing our weekly grocery trip along the way. We like this camp because it is a small island by a river lock and has nice big campsites.

View from Camp

 We have been in four different campsites in other years, most had nice shade. The temperatures have been sunny and in the high 80’s, so it is very hot with our south facing site. 

River Dinosaur

So on Wednesday we took our canoe out for a 6 mile paddle up and back on Telegraph Creek. We like to think this old fallen tree is a dinosaur.

We didn’t see many birds but we saw at least 5 alligators, most were small. 

Birthday Dessert

Our Phoenix Cruiser friends, Barry & Sue are here, we have seen them here the past 3 years. When they found out it was my birthday they picked up a couple of great chocolate cake slices for Peggy & me. We really enjoyed them for dessert.

I photo-shopped the picture so I could show both of us enjoying our cake.

On Thursday, we took a short 8 mile bike ride through the three developments next to the campground. It was getting hot again so we spent the rest of the day at camp.

Our campsite here had good sunrise and sunset views. We faced due south on the Caloosahatchee River at Franklin Lock. 

Our Two Weeks at WP Franklin

 On hot days we had no shade but on our second week the temperatures came back down to normal so it was very pleasant.

There are a few small neighborhoods nearby where we could ride our bike for about 8 miles up and down the winding streets, but the main road has no bike lanes and we needed to sprint between the developments to avoid the fast cars. We only biked 4 times, about 32 miles. 

There are two nice scenic creeks to explore with our canoe. Telegraph Creek is about 1/2 mi downstream from camp and Hickey Creek is about 1 mile upstream from camp. The Caloosahatchee River has a lot of boat traffic on weekends but it is very quite on weekdays. We did two 7 mile paddles on Telegraph and one 8 mile paddle on Hickey. Both creeks were a little scummy but we saw turtles and small gators on both.

So far this winter there has been almost no rain wherever we were. We woke to a little drizzle this morning but before noon everything was dry. We had two cold and windy days so we headed into town for shopping and for an early dinner at Carrabbas Grill using our Christmas gift certificate from Jeff & Marcie.

So tomorrow 1/28 we will be heading about 70 miles to Myakka State Park for two days. It has been 12 years since we were able to get a campsite here, it is a very popular park. We hope to paddle down river to Deep Hole and see all the gators.
