Last But Not Least
The last 2 night stop on this trip was at Colt Creek State Park, on the north side of Lakeland FL. We needed to go to the Truma repair center in Lakeland to get the heater in Floridays fixed as it is only working on […]
Way Down Upon The Swanee River
Stephwn C Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs Florida is located on the Swanee River. The state song of Florida is “Old Folks at Home”, which was written by Stephen C Foster in 1851. You might know it better by it’s first […]
Good Vibrations
We were searching for some good vibrations for 1 night and we found it, a water front campsite at St Andrews State Park in Panama City, FL. So Easter Sunday we picked up and headed off to soak up some good vibrations at the beach. […]
Checking Out A New Time Zone
