Titusville - We visit Black Point Drive and Playalynda

 

You can always depend upon seeing an alligator at Black Point Drive

Enterprise still has not gone back to their practice of picking you up for a rental. It used to be one of their biggest selling points but COVID put a stop to it and they haven’t restarted the feature. Due to that change, I had a one mile hike to the Enterprise office from the Titusville Marina. At least it’s all level ground. By the way, be ready for sticker shock when renting a car nowadays, up a little over 100% for me. 

Turtles are in abundance too

We used the afternoon touring our old haunts at Black Point wildlife drive and Playalynda beach. Black Point was almost barren of wildlife. I guess all the birds have left on their northward migration already, we  saw less than a dozen birds, mostly loners. We did see three alligators but not much else. 

The largest NASA rocket is ready for testing!

With a car, we will drive to Walmart and have the groceries put in the trunk at no extra cost. We chose our groceries using the Walmart website for an 11:00 am pickup on Thursday morning. We find the service very convenient and saves us time. 

Thursday night, I’ll take my “all-time date” out for dinner at Shilohs, one of our favorite restaurants in the area. After that, it’s waiting for a weather window to resume our northward trip, probably on Sunday. It’s been nice to relax and rest up for the remainder of the northward journey.
