We got up and started packing up. We put a lot of our packed bags into the Jeep so when we get home, the unloading will go a little faster. All that we have left is the dry goods and refrigerator/freezes items. We got ready to leave, hooked up the Jeep, and left the campground …
We had breakfast, packed up some snacks and beverages, and left at 10:00 for Hart Springs with our beach chairs. There are 3 natural springs nearby. Fanning Springs State Park is the closest at .6 miles, but may not allow swimming if a gator is present. After all, the area is his natural habitat. Manatee …
A thunderstorm rolled through last night around 9:00 and dropped a good amount of rain in a short time. We were awakened by thunder this morning. The skies were dark to the south, but we got no rain before we left at 9:30. We took Highway 98 east over the Carrabelle River and through the …
We hung out all morning! Bob worked on the faucet in the kitchen and made some business calls. I did some paperwork. Around noon, we hopped in the Jeep and took the short drive of 3 miles over the Carrabelle River to the city of Carrabelle. From the bridge, we could see the city below …
The time change didn’t help and we slept until after 9:00 today. Wow! Bob took Auggie for his walk. They have a really nice dog-walk area just across the road from our campsite. By noon, it was 94 and people in the campground were heading to the beach. We did a few chores around the …
Happy birthday in heaven, Mom! Both of us had a rough night sleeping, so we were up early. We took our time getting ready and pulled out around 9:30. It is a 225 mile drive today and hopefully without any mishaps. It was a warm, hazy morning with a temp of 83 degrees (feels like …
Another morning to sleep in is always welcomed. Bob made our usual Sunday breakfast and we got ready for the day. We decided to take a drive to Flora-Bama, on the border of Florida and Alabama, the most famous beach bar in the country. We have been there before, but it’s always fun to visit …
It was a hot one already at 8:00. We didn’t have much to do to get packed up and were on the road by 9:30. We hopped on I-55 for about 15 miles before jumping on I-12 across the top of Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans. Saturday traffic was a little heavier, but not bad. …
Goodbye Lake Enid! We really enjoyed our stay! We got ourselves going and pulled out shortly after 10:00. We had 253 miles to go today. I-55 took us down the length of the entire state of Mississippi through the capital city of Jackson. Traffic was light all along this highway on a sunny, cloudless day. …

I got up early but Bob slept until 9:00. I think he was tuckered out and needed to catch up on some sleep. It was another steamy, sunny day. We all took a walk this morning to look at the dam and the other end of the park. I got a clearer view of the …
