Heading West from St. Loius, the Gateway To The West, along the Missouri River, 
we have arrived at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri at Jeff and Gina's Lakeside residence in Osage Beach.

We are greeted by Jeff directing us to park our RV in his side driveway and offered his Mermaid Inn for our stay.  It was quite a treat to be in a 3 room abode.  Gee, the King size bed was ample size and a night-long search for Tim just by my side!  It was luxurious being in a residence especially on the Lake of the Ozarks!

Tim and Linda Bunyan

From our Keys outpost on Big Pine Key, we made a couple of day drive visits South into Key West.  We are now headed North up to Key Largo for a final week in the Keys at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park on the Overseas Highway. 

"The Real Florida"   The park was created to protect and preserve a portion of the only living coral reef in the United States.  
Miami newspaper editor, John D. Pennekamp was one of the early proponents of the preservation of the park's coral reef.  He also helped establish Everglades National Park.
