2014 Feb 12-15 - Miscellaneous shots at Highlands Hammock State Park

Wednesday night, we had a pretty heavy rainstorm, so there wasn't much activity during the evening after the potluck. We put a few miles on the bikes and sat around visiting during the afternoon.

Thursday was chilly - in the high sixties and even lower (fifties) during the evening. We had a communal campfire after the soup supper, but only about eight people showed up all evening. Most of the others were snuggled in their campers. After we put the communal fire out, we ran across another one, so we stopped in there and had another beer, or two, before going back to the camper. We managed to stay out until 11:00 or so.

We were only able to get four nights when we made our original reservation. Our last night would have been Thursday, but we didn't want to miss the wine and cheese party on Friday night. We went to the ranger station and asked about staying an extra night and, much to our surprise, they had a spot for us, but we had to move before 1:00pm on Thursday. So we left site 125 and towed the camper, without folding it down, to site 6 on the other side of the campground. We got a few strange looks, but we made it.

The wine and cheese party drew a large crowd on Friday evening. It was a good evening for sitting around the campfire drinking wine.


Saturday morning, we left and headed back to Dad's house in Barefoot Bay, arriving around 1:30. We unpacked and were eating lunch by 2:15. We'll be here until February 24, when we head out on our long-reserved camping trip around the state of Florida. We'll be camping in six state parks and a commercial campground between 2/24 and 4/7 when we'll head north. Probably won't be much excitement on the blog until we start camping again, but you never know. Stay tuned!
