For those of you who have camped at Ft. DeSoto, what was the cell coverage there ? We have Verizon and are using the Verizon MiFi to get internet access on this trip, since we're not staying in any private CG's and none of the state/county parks have wifi. We're at Myakka River SP now, and to be as close to Sarasota as we are, cell service is very weak and the MiFi doesn't work well much of the time...working right now though.

The couple travelling with us have AT&T and they have poor cell signal also.

Hope Ft. DeSoto has good cell signals since it's close to St. Pete and Clearwater.

Give me some good news folks.

Brent, we haven't been in a few years but I remember that we had Verizon back when we did go and had a signal but I don't remember how strong it was. Gotta luv Verizon! - Try calling the park office and ask them what they have maybe.

brent, remember what i said. the sites are kinda hard to get into on some of them.
just take your time in, its well worth it when you do. i want pictures if you have a water site. i miss this place.
have a great time.
and try this seafood place up the road. cant remember name ( call me if you need) but they have sunset boat trips for free..

Be sure to watch your overhead,. lots of low limbs.

Trees? What trees?

How's that for a tight fit ?



This was a sight for sore eyes after our 8 days at Myakka River State Park with virtually no cell signal and therefore no internet via the Verizon MiFi.



And here's a pic for Lemur



We also saw the space station come over the western sky tonight.

All is well.

i love the picture you took. we had many sunsets like that. have fun.

p.s brent . get your water hose off the ground. racoons will bite holes in it for fresh water...
someone told me to put a water bowl out for them. seems to work.

If you look at the reservation website, the photo of site 228 bears little resemblance to what I see today...wonder how old that pic is...the tree I had to dodge was not protruding into the site as it is today.

Lamar, send me your skyhook to hang my water hose from...I'm hoping we don't have any in this loop, but don't think they observe any boundaries.

Lexie's having a blast "chasing" the birds from inside the RV.

Time for more coffee.

P.S. we stayed at Hillsborough River SP in late Jan and went to Busch Gardens from there...five coasters in one day...will post pics later.

brent, dont count on that. the raccoons are all around the park.( go out at dark with large light)
i only saw one that week. and on the last day they got my hose.
i saw where others use rope and tide it off in the trees.

have fun, got wind surfing..
