Camping At KARRS - Kennedy Space Center


Our Campsite
Merritt’s Island - Kennedy Space Center
February 15 th  72 degrees w/ sunshine

We left Mayport yesterday after waking up to 39 degrees and drove south to a new camp ground to us.  This was opened up to retired military after the Shuttle Program was shut down.  It is very open and without individual sewer hookups; however, we do have 50 amp and water, which works for a short term and the nightly rate is only $15.00 and most importantly there were vacancies.

We can stand by the water and see across to the launching pads for the Shuttles.  Lou and I had a nice walk today, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air and getting acquainted with our neighbors.
This was the view from our side window
Astronaut Hall of Fame 


After breakfast we went for a ride, we drove south on route 1 to Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and into Patrick Air Force Base.  We drove onto the base and had lunch there.  That is one of our favorite bases and we enjoyed looking around at the improvements they had made in the last two years.  We were also amazed at the shops that were vacant in Cocoa Beach that must be a result of the lack of employees at Kennedy.

We do not have any internet where we are, so will post this along with the pictures when we reach a spot that I am able.
