Well this wasn’t what I was expecting when I called about staying here over the Martin Luther King weekend. Everything else was booked up and I didn’t want to stay anywhere without electricity because temps were dropping into the 20’s at night. That said, it was clean, quite, safe and had great TV reception so I settled in to watch Wild card football. Find the silver lining where you can.

There was a beautiful little cove with a beach area that was a nice feature. Not that I thought about swimming in 40 degree weather. Even with the sun out.

Love, love, love this state park. I think I’ve been here at least 4 or 5 times and it never gets old.

I was also able to see a dentist here for a cleaning and yearly X-rays. All good, no cavities!! It was great they were able to get me in again this year.

This is a great park with a lot of hiking trails that are along the famous Suwannee River. So much history here as well. I also sang that famous song all day !!

All I can say is WOW! After driving in 2 miles on a somewhat rock road, I pulled into this amazing campground. Could not have asked for a better spot. Quite, great trails and beautiful sunsets each night. I will be back.

This park recently reopened after extensive work repairs due to hurricane Michael. They have done a marvelous job trying to give privacy to each spot but also squeezing in as many as possible. My brother and his wife camped next door and it was a fun couple of days.

What was also cool was the deer that were not affected by our presence. Like this guy.

The sunsets were pretty amazing as well.

So finally Christmas arrived and we all had a great time over the last couple of weeks. From a birthday celebration at Osaka’s Hibachi, to enjoying homemade Eggplant Parmesan, opening presents and playing with all the new toys. With a mystery play that everyone had a part in, followed by standing rib toast dinner. It was another great holiday together. I even survived babysitting the 4 little ones.

To another great holiday together!

This was the last campground before Christmas. Loved the campground layout, the hiking trails and the well placed chairs to sit and watch for eagles.

Okay so I’m a little behind posting but I will catch up soon. I’ve been to this campground before and love it. Right on the water, great hiking trails and a cool playground. The park was not busy at all. The host said it was due to the Corp of Engineers planning to rework the section of the park that was destroyed by hurricane Michael. So only 10 sites were opened for reservations.

After Kolomki, I wandered west into Alabama to this Corp of Engineer campground. I loved it had 4 different loops to make it feel like a small campground. I was in pirates cove, only about 10 sites in this loop. Watched the sun set over the water looking out my slider and the moon rise over the water across from my spot. There could have been a little more hiking trails but the main attraction here is the water, fishing and kayaking.

Road trip on my way to another camping spot but it is such a beautiful place and some fun hiking trails into the canyon.
