March 10: The Dreaded Sign

I made it to the fishing pier after three hours of driving ... only to see they put up the dreaded “no overnight parking” signs 30 minutes before I arrived. But like the four other campers, I'm staying here tonight. I did get three leads of other free places to try to find. One is four miles down the road, so tomorrow I will go to the beach next to an RV resort during the day, then cross a little bridge and park in what I think is a boat launch for the nights. I hope it's good enough for the three or four days I was hoping to spend here at the pier. Then it's on to Magnolia Beach where I should run into the couple camping next to me who will be there for a week. But I want to find an overnight to break up that trip.

For now, I am enjoying the water and the sun sinking in the sky.
